This weekend Reinhard Bonnke will be in Stuttgart. I hope to be there too, at least part of the time. I'm not generally a fan of loud evangelists. I generally like the style of a funny teacher. I was driving my car one day about 5 years ago. I got a very clear word from God. He said, "you need an Elijah to pray for Jessica". I got home, and I had an e-mail from a man in America named Richard Shaka. He and his wife are both from Serra Leon West Africa. They were going to stay with us that summer. Ricard asked me if I knew Bonnke. He had met him once in Africa and wanted to see him again. Bonnke lives in America but is German. I had seen Bonnke speak once in San Diego but didn't really know him. I looked him up on the Internet. That day there was a testimony on his website. He had gone to a village in Africa. He was brought to a school for the deaf. There were 70 deaf kids in the school. Bonnke prayed, and all 70 kids were healed so they closed the school. I said, that must be my Elijah. Juergen and I went to Vienna the next weekend to have Bonnke pray for Jessica. About two years ago, Juergen went to Africa and spent a whole week with him. He eat lunch with him everyday for a week. Juergen said he is the most humble man. He is so on fire when he preaches, but other wise very soft spoken and humble. I hope to be able to see him preach. I don't really have any strong expectations. He is not Jesus. I do believe he is very gifted. He has already laid hands on Jessica. Jessica is still sick. He even called us on the phone and prayed for Jessica. I was very honored this very busy "important" man of God took the time to call us and pray. I believe it is God who heals. God does heal...I do believe this. I don't know what to believe about Jessica's healing. I'm not even sure I have the courage to ask again. I just know I want to be there, and maybe God will give me the courage to ask again?
