The book that started a healing journey.

As usual, there were no high pressure appeals by Andrew to get people to respond. Each time he made a simple invitation after more than an hour of teaching. The people would gather at the front of the stage, where Charis Bible College students were waiting to minister to them. Dozens were born again and hundreds responded to the call to receive the Holy Spirit baptism.

He came forward on crutches and wearing a leg brace. 18 months ago he had stepped on a rusty nail while playing soccer (“football” as the Europeans call it). He received a routine Tetanus shot at that time. In spite of it, a terrible infection set into his bone, and once diagnosed, the doctors were ready to amputate his leg to stop it. He begged for a different solution, and they placed him in a drug induced coma in order to inject him with super strong experimental antibiotics that were nearly as damaging as the infection. The infection was eventually stopped but the drugs destroyed the good soft tissue in his body—the ligaments and tendons necessary for mobility. He suffered from extreme crippling pain.

He was in such pain from head to toe that he could hardly sit still on the first night. As soon as Andrew gave the invitation, he responded to the call to receive the Holy Spirit. As Jane Mizha, a CBC graduate from Zimbabwe prayed for him he said he felt a wonderful fire beginning to burn in his chest.

Later, Andrew asked those seeking healing to come for prayer and once again he struggled to the front of the auditorium. This time, 3rd year CBC apprentice, Barbara Anghared laid hands on him and prayed. Immediately Wednesday Morning felt the burning sensation explode throughout  his entire body and instantly, all pain was gone. A celebration began.

Wednesday Morning Eide’s story has been recorded on video to be shared in detail when we return to Colorado Springs.
