One evening in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, we partnered with a local church that passes out soup to a homeless community under a highway overpass. There were many bound by addiction who were open to talk and receive prayer. I was drawn to a particular group of men and was able to talk with them through a translator.
One man, Alishando, was eager for prayer and immediately confessed that he was living a homosexual lifestyle and wanted to stop. With tears in his eyes he shared how far he had fallen from being a preacher and minister of the Gospel years ago. He was miserable and desperate for a way out, admitting that he was not strong enough to get through it himself. I was excited to pray with him knowing that God is greater than sin and has the power to free Alishando completely and make him whole. He continued to cry and agreed as I reminded him that Jesus is a Faithful Father who loves Him and has many plans for him. We then introduced Alishando to a young man who was with the host church and urged him to get connected. Please pray that he continues to seek God and recieve healing and full restoration. Thank you!
