Mozambique:
Prayer overcomes cholera epidemic
In 1995, Heidi and
Rolland Baker travelled to Mozambique as missionaries, to work with street
children in the world's poorest nation. Heidi became seriously ill in
1997, but was completely healed through prayer. Following their return
to Mozambique, they now not only care for over 1,000 orphans, but also
train pastors, who have planted over 500 new churches.
In February 2001,
they experienced Cholera epidemic in their missions centre in Zimpeto.
Officials tried a number of times to determine the cause of the epidemic.
Heidi and her staff spent hours with the sick children, holding them in
their arms and praying for them. The doctors were shocked that permanent
contact with diarrhoea and vomit did not seem to bother them, and that
they were apparently not concerned for their own life.
As many Christians
around the world began to intercede, the children's condition started
to improve, and there were no new cases. To the doctors' and nurses' astonishment,
the children were soon back to normal health again.
