A Good Turn of Events In Nkwazi!

It is 9:30pm in Ndola, Zambia.

As soon as I sent the last blog out, my mom called and told me that the Lord had impressed Mark 8:22 upon her a few days ago. It is the passage where Jesus heals the blind man by spitting in the soil and  applying it to the  man's eyes.

I asked her a very strange question before I even thought about how insane it sounded. "Do you want me to call and ask Newton to do that?"

"YES!" she said without hesitation.

So, I did.

Newton immediately returned to the hospital where he found the doctor still pressuring the family to remove the boy's eyes and Clement was screaming in pain. Newton pleaded with them to apply pain killers and they did immediately. Then, this faithful servant of God did what few of us would imagine doing. He moistened the soil and applied it to little Clement's eyes.

When he left, Clement was sleeping peacefully and hadn't opened his eyes from the time the painkillers were given and the earth was applied to his eyes.

Newton plans to return in the  morning and hopes to hear that the boy is pain free and perhaps even already seeing.

The family is seeing the Lord. They have refused to sign the papers to have Clement's eyes removed. They are waiting on God to heal him.

Keep praying. I'm getting emails from all over the country as this passion to see Clement healed spreads like wildfire.

Pass it on...

May God be glorified!

Urgent Prayers Needed For Clement Today!

Newton has just come from the hospital in Ndola, Zambia with a report on our precious boy, Clement. Your prayers are urgently needed in this hour.

Clement's surgery to remove his eye tumors was yesterday. The surgery went fine. However, after removing them the doctor discovered that the boy's lenses were severely damaged. Upon questioning the mother, it was discovered that she'd been using "medicine" from the "traditional healer" (witch doctor) to remedy the boy's blindness. The doctor says that his eyes will never work.

Clement is in terrible pain from the surgery today. Rather than waiting for his eyes to heal from the surgery, the doctor advises removing them since they will not work anyway. Everything in me screamed "no" to this solution and I pleaded with Newton to return to the hospital to ask the doctor to use painkillers while the boys eye heals. (He has none.)

At this point, the father (who miraculously returned two weeks ago) is holding out that they should not remove the boys eyes. But Newton is not sure that decision will be sustained.

I feel it is urgent that we plead with God to stop the pain, convince the family to keep Clement's precious eyes and then ask God to do what the doctor's say cannot be done.

Will you pray right now? 

And perhaps pass this prayer request on...
