While preparing their new home for occupancy, Alliance workers John and Lisa Sappia met Abraham and Louisa,* who were hired to paint the Sappias’ house. When Abraham mentioned his intense neck pain, John told him about God’s healing power and offered to pray for Abraham. He allowed Lisa and John to pray with him and Louisa before the Sappias left to pick up their kids at school. “When we returned, Abraham told me that while we were praying, he felt a warm peace flow through his head and that almost immediately after we left, his neck pain disappeared,” says John. Abraham and Louisa then asked John to help them purchase a Bible and told him they would like to meet with the Sappias to learn more about Jesus. “We are on a team,” says John. “While you serve in the United States, it is our privilege to serve in Paraguay. And because of your teamwork, in prayers and giving to the GCF, we are seeing God heal in Asuncion!
