Every Sunday, Good Shepherd includes space for “Prayer requests and answered prayers” on the back of its Connection Card.

This Sunday we received one of the best ever:

What an amazing praise I have to report.  I attended the Healing Service on Monday and was prayed for and I am so happy to report I have had the best week.  My pain has been manageable this past week, which has not happened to me in over two months.  I felt an overwhelming emotion that evening.  Thank you for all the prayers.

You know what I like best about that one?  The young woman writing the prayer did not get prayed for at my healing station; she received pray from two other members of our healing team.

Because as we say each time we gather, “We don’t have celebrity pray-ers at Good Shepherd.  The Holy Spirit is the only celebrity we need.”

And that’s yet another reason why ministry is worth it.
