and the Lord makes the blind see at 150 at a time.


In the middle of my work day, we had the opportunity to go and see what is called the Celbration of sight. Is like watching a VVF ceremony on steroids. Over 100 people walk into the most wonderfuly designed and CLEAN hospitality center and in an extremly orderly fashion they enter a tent and get what is called a yag! Don't know exactly what that is but they walked into the room blind.............and left with sight. The sang, they danced, and hollarded becasue they were healed. All the music was in the tribal language so of course I understood nothing. I stood next to Dr. Glen Strauss and he translated a few things for me. The were very loudly praising God that they could see! I was standing next to Roxanne who helped with the follow-up and we just cried. They were so excited, they jumped up and down singing and praising god. My favorite song was one that the said...........when the angles take me to heaven it is going to sound like this.............and then all played these finger trumpets. It was unbelievable because when they walked into the room they couldn't see--------------and shortly after they can and they praised God..........hadn't seen any stories about that! Guess what there will be! I cried like a baby and sang for joy with them. Did you know that Mercy Ships does this same ceremony every Friday. That means that no less than 100 people per week recieve thier sight back! Unbelieveable. To see their face when they first see light was amazing.

  1. I don't understand. Was your staff in the tent, and performed a procedure or gave them medicine or was it a healing service? Sounds like a wonderfully moving experience, but this sheltered American just doesn't get it!

    I assume that you've started the portion of your trip where you are the host and tour guide. It must be so exciting for these folks to be alongside you as you experience the ship for the first time! It must make it twice as exciting!

    Just so you know, I haven't heard anything from the police or any authority about Katie throwing wild parties at your house in Tyler!

    Love you!
