A miraculous healing
Gustavo, a pre-teen in our church had had an accident in the dream.
An hour after she told me this dream and asked me what to do (I had replied, 'pray!'), Mark rang to say Gustavo had indeed been knocked over by a car whilst crossing the road and he was in hospital in bad state, having had his jaw broken and lost many teeth. We knew God's hand was on the situation, as he had spoken clearly about it in a dream to Rosa, and we began to pray as a team.
Ronald (one of the most positive members of our team!) was able to visit him that day and came back very downhearted at what he had seen. Gustavo had been able to communicate with him by writing, so he was in a fine state mentally, so that was encouraging, but his face was completely mangled and he had lost all his front teeth. Thankfully, the taxi driver's insurance covered all the hospital expenses (accident insurance is meant to be compulsory here, but there are many cases of people who drive illegally).
Anyway, after a couple of operations and much prayer, Gustavo improved significantly, so much so, just 10 days after he looked almost like nothing had happened. Celebrating our anniversary, he was able to show how much healing has happened in just a month! There were gasps of amazement from many, including Ronald when they saw him yesterday!
