I had no idea what to expect about this conference. I did not know if 5 or 500 people would attend the breakout sessions. People are extremely interested in trauma healing and Jesus graciously allowed 200-300 people to attend the two breakout sessions. People from all across the US and around the world.

Chris and Rebecca*:
They approached me after the first session with other people gathered around. They had a medical emergency while in South America with their youngest son. They thought he was dying and even died. Thankfully he is ok now but they are unable to travel back overseas at this time. They have three older kids who saw the whole situation. They asked for trauma healing for the kids and for them as they help their kids. I told them we offer such things and to contact me.

They walked away and planned to contact me later. I went to hear another speaker. However while in the session I thought how I should have prayed with them. So The Spirit told me to leave the session and go find Chris and pray with him. Mind you that we are at a church building that hosts 26,000 people on Sunday and over 3,000 people are attending this conference and breakout sessions are happening.

I am on the second floor but can see the first floor. I walk out of the session and look down at the main lobby. Yep! You guessed it. Chris is standing downstairs with a man and two women. I assume it is his wife. As I get closer, I realize he is talking with two of my friends.

Chris kindly says that the breakout that I shared was why God brought him to the conference. Praise Jesus! I tell him why I walked down and offered to pray with him. He graciously allowed me. As tears roll down his face, I hug him and tell him that I love him. Keep praying for healing for this family. I plan to see them in early 2020.

Deborah:
From Nigeria and working there. She attended both sessions even though they were the same info. She wrote this email to me: “I am a pastor’s wife, I am a trained counselor with specialty in trauma healing ( interfaith ) From Rwanda. I feel so privileged listening to you talk about faith base trauma healing and I believe God has a purpose for connecting us.” She told me in person that she needs this training even though she is a pastor’s wife and trained counselor.

The previous week I was in Philadelphia for a small gathering for 30+ people from roughly 12 countries regarding trauma healing. One of the men attending . . . from Nigeria. I have already connected him with Deborah.

Other in-person responses who want trauma healing training:
One woman asked for Arabic materials now because she is traveling to Syria, two women working with Somalis – one in MN and one in KS, a Kenyan woman working in Kenya, organization working in Gaza and need for member care, a Christian university in California, university in Nashville, inner healing organization in FL, orphanage in Cincinnati, healthcare clinics, and more. Not to mention all the emails, phone calls and text messages.

I thank Jesus again for your prayers. Keep praying with me!
