After 40 hours of traveling by bus, 3 different planes, and a ferry we arrived late in Sierra Leone. The night we came in, we couldn't take our bags with us because of uncontrollable circumstances. When we got to the hotel I found out I'm rooming with my two good friends. The catch was that all 3 of us had to share a king size bed. Not bad I can do that, I love sleeping with people, but people that cannot change their clothes that they have been wearing for 2 days ...not ideal. Thank the lord we actually had Air Conditioning, which I did not expect. During the night all the electricity would go out at random times which caused us to wake up in a pool of our sweat. I'm very thankful we at least had A.C, most of the time.
Our trip was very event packed, so I will just tell of the major things that happened. During week it included a Pastor's Conference, which all the local pastors that we have made connection with come too. I was able to speak about prophetic dance and gave an example by dancing to one of my teammates singing. Afterwards, I had about 7 people come up to me and tell me that what I said completely changed their perspectives on prophetic dancing. They had thought that dancing was not from God and now hearing what I said about it want to start different dance teams or worship dancers in there church. After we finished with the Pastors conference we started going to different villages in town and even went out into the "bush-bush" to go love on people, play with kids, and pray for the sick. We saw so many healing's and people getting hope where there was none. We also went to the prison, where I got to lay hands and prophesied over almost all of the inmates. It truly was amazing and brought tears to my eyes.
Within the next couple of days some of our team got to go and pray over a very influential mining company, business leaders, and the attorney general of Sierra Leone. We also got to meet the First Lady and the President of Sierra Leone, who I got to dance for. The next day our team split up and we went to 2 different hospitals in the area, one of which my dad was born at (both of my parents were born in Africa, my dad Sierra Leone and my mom Guinea). It was amazing to go and see where my dad was born. While at the hospital we got to go to the morgue and pray for the dead bodies to come back to life. None of them raised but the fact that we were allowed to do it was amazing. I prayed for some ladies who wanted to get pregnant, and also for people that had malaria. One of the ladies who had been in bed for the past 2 months with malaria jumped up and started walking around the room exclaiming she felt so much better. We saw someone who just had stomach surgery start walking around saying he had no pain. There were many more healings just showing them the power of God and how much he loves them.
We got a free day to go to the beach. It was probably one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been too. I swam out and back to an island that was a little over a mile away. There were many thoughts saying sharks are gonna eating me, but I did it! The last couple of days were very busy, saying goodbye to people and blessing people of the land. I got to use my leadership that I had learned, spread the word of God, and release Sierra Leone into their destiny.
I wasn't ready to leave until the last day hit, it was such an amazing trip and changed my perspective of a lot of things. Things that looked big to me, when I got home were so small now. If I ever were called their, I definitely could do it.
