Pagadian Healing Festival

Our last 3 days in Mindanao we spent in Pagadian City doing large Healing Festivals every night. They got bigger every night as word of the miracles got out.
We estimate that over 1500 people came forward to receive Jesus during the 3 nights.
Hundreds of people received healing for there bodies.
Several people came up on the stage to testify of healing. There were tumors that disappeared, paralysis gone, people that didn't need glasses anymore and lots of aches and pains gone. It was also fun to here some of the testimonies from people that were healed last year but didn't know until it was confirmed by a doctor.
We were able to visit with the mayor who was amazed that it had not rained since the team arrived. He looked at his calender and said, "It has rained every day for the last month. Then you come here, and it stops for 3 days." Leslie said, "that's because we prayed that it would not rain and disrupt the festival. But, tomorrow you're on your own." We could see the clouds and lightening storms all around us during the 3 days, but it never rained on us. The festivals were held in an open field, so not having rain was important. At 2am the next morning the rain, thunder and lightning cane back with a vengeance. That was quite a testimony to the mayor.
