We were excited to return to the Harrisburg Discipleship Center on Thursday night! The YES teams will be heading out to their various outreach locations after Thanksgiving, so we were glad for one last time to be able to minister to them.
Austin and Lauren Ritz led the worship band for the evening. We spent over half an hour worshiping our Savior, and then Sean and Jen Achey taught about the Holy Spirit. They shared parts of their testimonies and their own experiences with the Spirit. Sean then invited everyone to stand up and hold out their hands in a position to receive. The ministry team, led by the Achey’s, prayed for the participants individually, that they would receive the filling and fullness of the Holy Spirit!
The group then split up into their teams, talking and praying for each other as they waited for the ministry team to come around and pray over them. As a ministry team, we split into two groups, in order to pray for the 4-5 teams. There were YES teams headed to Albania, China, Guinea-Bissau and Venezuela. It was a joy to be able to pray for and encourage each team.
One of the girls on the Venezuela team had broken her finger. After we prayed for her finger, she said that the pain had left completely! She still did not have complete movement after we prayed for her a second time, so we encouraged her team to continue to pray until she experienced complete healing.
Sean also asked any individuals to stay who still wanted prayer. Numerous people stuck around, hungry to receive all that God had for them! One girl spoke in tongues for the first time! Many others were encouraged in their destinies and their walks with the Lord. All in all, it was after 12:30 am before we left! We can’t wait to hear what God is going to do through these teams in each of their respective ministry locations!
