Thursday is prayer walk day, and two friends joined us – their first time walking around Manenberg. We left the office and began to walk, only for people to tell us to get off the road because the gangs were shooting at each other.
We obliged, prayed for and declared peace along the street, and then played with a tortoise in a [shop]. Then we were told it was OK to walk again, because the shooting had finished. We did so. As we went, we saw an old man on crutches. We asked to pray for him. He had broken his hip falling off the roof. He had had surgery, and couldn’t walk without crutches, and even then very slowly and in much pain.
After we prayed healing for him, he began to move his leg freely, and exclaimed that he couldn’t do that previously and it felt better. The pain had left, and movement had come! He then wept as he accepted Jesus into his life, still overwhelmed by getting healed. Then he walked home, waving his leg around as he went, unaided by crutches.
