Fasting days: a unique event

From 24 to 26 January we had again a few fasting days, this time in “de Boerekreek” in St.-Jan-in-Eremo (East-Flanders). It was the first time we went to this location and that always gives some extra tension. Will the rooms be ok? Will it be warm enough over there? Last year in the Ardennes it was very cold the first day since the heating was not up in time…
We were warmly welcomed by the staff of “de Boerekreek” and we got the restaurant for our meetings. The rooms were very clean and all rooms had a separate bathroom with a shower and a toilet and it was nicely warm everywhere, which is very nice when fasting a few days.

We enjoyed times of marvelous worship, powerful studies, many moments of silences – In which we could soak or go for a walk in the beautiful nature surrounding the center – and times of prayer for each other, the country, our churches and many other subjects.
As Tamara put it nicely: “We have been fed very well once again!”

God heals before diagnosis

Some time ago Nadine got troubled by a heavy stomach ache and hard digestion. She almost felt no hunger any more and when she had eaten a little bit, it seemed as if no other bit could be added to it. Now this can happen when you have a viral infection but the symptoms kept on lasting, despite prayer, and they even became worse. Nadine also got pain under the right rib frame. As well Nadine as Ann had to think about gallstones...The entire time they prayed together for healing, but nothing seemed to happen. One day they decided that an ultrasound should be made anyway, in order to be sure what was going on. They shared this with Hugo and Inger. That day, Nadine had to deliver something at their home, and in the hall Hugo laid his hands on her and prayed shortly for healing. From one moment to another all pain and the feeling of a heavy weight vanished and Nadine was hungry again... of course no examination has been made...
