Mining Masi’s Gold
The first time I saw Angela I cried. The tears kept streaming quietly down as I saw a beautiful woman in her 20’s so wracked by illness.
I want to tell you about a dear girl in Masi named Angela.
The first time I saw Angela I cried. The tears kept streaming quietly down as I saw a beautiful woman in her 20’s so wracked by illness.
She was so tiny because she lost so much weight. Angela was found by the short term mission teams from Kansas City, and Norman this past May. She was VERY ILL. She had a bad case of Tuberculosis. She is also in a wheel chair unable to walk with various other health problems.
So the teams began to pray for her healing. She felt something when the team members prayed and she went back to the doctor. He told her, “I don’t believe it but the TB is gone.” Angela’s mom said she was getting stronger. She was sitting up more on her own. She began to have hope for her future. She even asked Mike to come and work on a resume so she could get ready to go back to work. Now that is inspiring faith! In her weakness she is already thinking how to work.
So Angela’s doctor wanted to test her again this week about the TB. He just could not believe it was gone. SO she again got the news that she is 100 percent healed of TB. She is also doing better on all the other counts of her illness.
Angela wanted to get baptized right away. Today we had a wonderful celebration of Angela giving her life to Jesus, 15 of us sang and danced and loved being with her. She told us even if it rained hard today and was cold she knew today that she was going to be baptized.
What a beautiful, determined woman. She is glowing with an inner strength. She has a darling daughter that is 21 months old named Lilitha. The child’s name means delight. And that is what she is.
For any skeptics for short term missions…. This is one of the amazing fruit. They found her, we have been going to her ever since and now a life is changed forever. Her mother is changed as well. Full of hope and wanting to get together to learn and share about Jesus. These are the days that I count it all worth leaving the dearest to my heart. The ones that we get connected with here that want to know
Jesus. It’s like mining for gold.
