Jesus makes the blind to see

A team of six went to Banket, in the Chinhoyi area of Zimbabwe, last weekend, 26^th-28^th October. There were from 60 to 100 people at different times gathered there from various places. The team gave both a seminar for the new people and discipleship for the more established members.

On the Sunday, they were at Mass in the parish church. Michael Sheshe was sitting at the back and a man with a stick asked him to help him find the toilet since he was blind. While they were outside Mike shared with him for a while and asked if he would be happy if he prayed for him. The man agreed and after Mike prayed for him, he was able to see light but could not distinguish anything. However, by the end of Mass, he was able to see clearly and walked around without his stick.

The man said to Mike, ‘You must come home with me and pray for my sick wife’. Mike went with him, together with some other BLCC members who were attending the weekend. The wife, however, refused prayer because she recognised one of them as being from the charismatic group and people in the parish spoke against this group.

The wife’s mother then said, ‘Why don’t you pray for me since I am also blind’. So they prayed for her and she looked out of the window and found she could see but one eye was not seeing well. When they prayed again, she went outside to test her eyes properly and found she could see perfectly well with both eyes. She then walked around saying, ‘Is it true; is it true?’

Such works of God as these go together with preaching the gospel, which they were doing throughout the weekend in giving the seminars and the discipleship teachings.
