When two of you agree ...

A female resident - greatly advanced in years- from the retirement home where Inger used to work, was eagerly looking forward to the wedding party of her granddaughter, with whom she had a special bond. A while before the wedding, she was visibly getting worse: she became confused, had no strength left. She was expected to die very soon. Years before all this Inger once had talked with her about Jesus, but she did not want to choose for Him nor receive prayer. She thought it was "too late to change her mind". When her condition became critical, she allowed Inger to pray with her and she gave her heart to Jesus. Inger also prayed for new strength, so she would be able to attend the wedding. The next day her condition was much better, and slowly but surely the confusion disappeared and she recovered her strength. With a fresh mind, and a lovely outfit, she enjoyed -amidst her family -the wedding party she had longed for so much.

Violent pain in wrists dissappears like snow before the sun

Since the Christmas period Nathalie was suffering from pain in both her wrists. It started with a stiff feeling, as if she had sprained or overburdened both her wrists. Yet there wasn't any indication for that. When Nathalie wanted to do something practical, such as cooking, serving the food or to do some gardening, it became still worse. Even writing gave her trouble!

Werner and Nathalie love to dedicate themselves to the Kingdom and they help wherever they can. It is their dream and wish to start a project in Africa, where they want to go and feed the children. Whenever she was in pain, also this kind of thoughts came: "I'll never be able to do that...".

A complicated procedure unnecessary thanks to the prayer box

On the 3rd May Luc sent us this mail:

“Beginning of March I asked the brothers and sisters of my church, the Christian church of Londerzeel, and a few good friends for prayers. One of my friends, Cora, put my prayer request in your prayer box. Today I want to share how the Lord answered our prayer.

Because of cardiac arrhythmias, my cardiologist told me a complicated procedure that could take several hours would be necessary. Without the surgery the condition of my heart would deteriorate and I was at risk for a stroke. However the cardiologist agreed to postpone the surgery a while and put me on medication in the mean time. He thought there was little chance for a healing. I told him I would ask my brothers and sisters to pray for me.

I asked you to pray. Prayer for healing: a heart that is beating normally. Prayer to have joy, peace and quiet that passes understanding. Prayer for wisdom when taking decisions and wisdom for the doctor when analyzing, evaluating and advising. Prayer for Ritje, my dear wife.

God is good. As from 7th March I had no more dizziness, fatigue, palpitations or any other discomfort. I received everything I asked for in prayer. All the time I felt carried and supported by your prayers and I was confident of a good outcome. God would see to that. We know that all things work together for good to them that love God (Romans 8:28). This promise is for me.
It is a certainty that is firmly secured in my heart. My brothers and sisters, and that is each one of you, have stood in the gap for me.

Cora had given us a copy of Hugo Van Leemputten’s book “Genezen van Kanker“ (=Healed of Cancer). A special story, a story about learning to trust God and hold on to His promise. It was very encouraging for me. It is certainly recommendable and not only for those who are ill.

As agreed, Ritje and I went back to the doctor for an examination. When taking the ECG the doctor let slip that my heart was beating calmly. Likewise with the cycling test my heart rate wasn’t too fast. When the tests were finished, the doctor came to discuss the results with us. He was leafing through my medical file, then he turned to us saying: “Mr.Cauwenbergh, it looks like you have healed yourself.” It took a little while before I realized what he just said, then I replied: ”People have been praying for me, doctor.” “You have a lot of support from this Christian community,” the doctor remarked. I could only agree.

The complicated surgery that could take several hours is no longer necessary. In November I have to return for a check up and I still need to take medication, but I already know now that this is not the end of this story.

I want to thank you all for your prayers and your warm heart. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (James 1:17).
I received a wonderful present from Father and your prayers delivered it to my. The LORD is good, His love endures forever, His faithfulness unto all generations.”
