The Africa Team Car Wash

The Columbia Foursquare Church Africa team was having a fund raising car wash right on George Washington Way in Richland. After washing a few cars, Tracy traded with me and had me take over manning the sign directing cars to our car wash.
After a short time a young man came walking up the sidewalk behind me. I stopped him and asked him if he needed a car wash (dumb question as he was walking). He said he didn’t drive. I informed him we were Christians and asked if there was anything he needed prayer for. After giving me a puzzled look he said he was OK. I prodded him with more questions and he finally added admitted that he had level 8 knee pain in both legs and had an eye problem.
About that time Tracy came to tell me to take down the sign as we were swamped with too many cars. Great! I now had a ministry team.  The young man’s name was John. I asked John if I could lay my hands on his knees and he said, “Yes”. So right there next to GWay I laid my hands on his knees and commanded the pain to go and for his knees to be healed. After about 30 seconds or so, John was doing squats with zero pain in his knees. Then Tracy started prophesying into John’s life situation and releasing life into his soul. John was wrecked. Tracy then headed back over to the car wash.

It turned out that John was legally blind and had been that way his whole life. There was a large sign about 40 ft. away and John couldn’t see it. I had John close his eyes as I laid my hands on them and commanded his vision to be healed. He opened his eyes and reported that his vision was clearer. Yeah God!!! I repeated my part and had him check it out again. Jesus himself prayed twice for a blind man so I felt like I was kind of walking in His shoes. John said that his vision was clear and that he could now see the sign!!! OMG!!! I tried to remain calm on the outside but inside I was doing cartwheels. I then got to explain the good news of Jesus to John and tell him it was Jesus that just healed his knees and eyes.
I believe this encounter was prophetic for our CFC Africa team. What was God going to do through us in Kenya? It won’t be long now.
