Brighton, the young man in the middle that Mike baptized Easter weekend, had a very unfortunate accident just a few weeks ago. He was working in a plant using a table saw, when the blade slipped off and hit his left eye. He is from Zimbabwe so the healthcare for him was not going to be the best, but like any other place in the world they have to treat him. They did surgery on him to sew the cut over his eye lid, but a blood clot remained behind the eyeball causing him his loss of site. He went back for a check-up only to find out that they told him there wasn’t anything else they could do for him. He came to our Bible study with a patch on and we talked about his situation a little bit. We wanted to disciple him in the correct way and help him to understand when you accept Christ in your life and make the decision to follow him, everything isn’t going to be easy. He understood and said that some of friends had already been giving him a hard time and telling him he should have gone to visit a “Sangoma”, a local witch doctor. He recognized immediately that this was probably a test from God and told his friends that he was choosing to trust Jesus for his healing and health not the sangoma. We were so thankful that he understood this, but know that he still has a long road ahead of him of trials and tribulations. Please pray if it is God’s will that Brighton’s blood clot would dissolve and he would regain his eye sight. We believe this can only come from a miraculous healing that only Jesus Christ can do. This would give him such an awesome testimony. We also understand that this just may be God’s plan for his life but we would like to believe that he will be healed.
