Super Super Track

On Friday night, the Super Track went to the Santa Monica Promenade and Pier. It was so fun. We split into four groups for two. I got Terrence. He's from Switzerland, and thinks his English isn't so great, but it's actually really good. We met this one homeless lady, Ann, who was actually in the process of getting an apartment and a job. She was a Christian and we got to pray for her. Then we met David. He wasn't homeless, but he had a serious problem with his back that caused him to walk with a limp, and be in constant pain. We prayed for healing, and afterwards we asked him how he felt and he said it didn't hurt as bad! The we talked to these homeless two guys, whose names I don't remember. One wasn't a Christian, but had grown up in a Christian home and knew a lot about what the Bible says. The other, was a Christian, but said that because he smoked weed and drank that he didn't call himself a Christian, because he didn't want to put a "smear on Jesus' name." Then we bought them something at McDonald's. On the pier, we met a lady who does healings, but not in Jesus' name. She said that she called in the help of the angels. She had her heart in the right place, but she wasn't getting it from the right place. The we passed a father and son fishing off the pier. We watched for a while, and then we talked with them. We found out that they hadn't really caught anything. So, silently we prayed for fish. A few seconds later, the boy caught a fish! But he was so excited that he jerked the pole and the fish fell off the hook. But it was still so cool!

It was so amazing that we watched a man lose a bit of pain, and a boy catch a fish, when all we did was pray. But God wants us to pray for these things. He said that if we have faith, it will happen.
