Testimony by David Yi, Youth & Children’s Pastor at DKUMC
Sam was our guest speaker for our youth revival in May. Our theme was “Victory” and so the goal was obvious – to get our youth group to have a shift in mentality towards the battles they face in life. As we prayed together, we both felt the sense that God wanted to really encounter the students and attendees of our event. If you saw in Sam’s recent video blog, he came with his mentee, Danny, and their weekend in Delaware began with God’s healing power in the middle of a restaurant! So, it’s no surprise that the healing power of God broke out through our revival. The kids were timid to approach the front to receive prayer for healing but by the end of the evening, the front of the sanctuary was full of students and overflowing into the center aisle. Kids were all on their knees earnestly seeking the love of God and it was a beautiful sight. The two major topics of healing were for knees/ankles and family. As time passed, I had the chance to talk to some of the kids about what happened. A lot of them actually experienced partial healing in the knees and ankles and several of them commented about how God really changed a struggling family dynamic!
So I decided to keep pressing in. We asked God to continue to heal the students and I was surprised to see that they were instantly completely healed! We went one step further. I prayed that they would all receive the gift of healing. This went on for the next two weekends and you probably know what to expect, right? God continued to move! The students began to pray for one another and were getting physically healed, instantly. God gave us victory over physical pain! Hallelujah. And we are continuing to pursue God and his heart.
We are so thankful for the ministry of Pursuit NYC, and I can’t wait to collaborate with Sam and anyone else that comes through Delaware again!
