Dear Friends in Christ,
The requests for how we pray for the sick have been overwhelming. So we are sending a follow-up email outlining what and how we pray. Please know that this is not a formula from any book or healing seminar. Over time the Lord has helped us to pray in a way that honors Him and His Word above all else. He does the rest because He loves us. I have included scripture to support the basis for praying in this fashion.
I hope you find this to be edifying. Put prayer to work for you, your family and those the Lord has placed around you. We know that the more we pray for healing the more it happens.

Christ as Healer

Dear Friends and Family,
All is well in Swaziland. We would like to take a moment to thank everyone for their ongoing support of the ministry. We know that the Kingdom of God here in Swaziland is advancing due to the continued prayers of the saints here and in the United States.
By God’s grace, we continue to see many people being healed in their physical bodies. We are seeing that this type of ministry points them to Christ as their Healer, Deliverer, Provider and Savior. People also get a fresh revelation of the validity and authenticity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They begin to realize that the Gospel is not just about the forgiveness of sins.
We are finding that people do not typically pursue divine healing on their own. Perhaps it’s due to unbelief, a lack of sound teaching in the church, or perhaps a willingness of heart to just plod along suffering in their circumstances. We are finding that if we see someone who is sick and the Lord quickens us to pray for that person they are healed every time. Seriously, I’m not kidding. There are also those instances when we will ask the people we are ministering to if they need healing in their physical bodies or deliverance from emotional torments. As they express faith to be healed by Christ according to His Word (the bible) they are usually healed either on the spot or over the next day or so.
We are also finding that the healings are taking place more frequently at the CarePoints and settings outside of the confines of the church. For example, we had four people get healed of various ailments within a few days of each other—all at the CarePoints. We had, Mrs. Mthembu, a 63 year old cook who had a badly sprained ankle get healed immediately upon praying for her. She was using crutches and was not able to put any weight on the ankle…..but after prayer she set the crutches down and began to walk, gingerly at first but within moments she was able to put full weight on the ankle without pain. Every time we have seen her since she thanks us for leading her to Jesus to be healed. The other three were similar in nature in that they were all sickness or disease related. After agreeing with them in prayer that Christ was willing and able to heal them and rebuking the sicknesses they were all healed. Two of them were healed of chronic fatigue and depression and one was healed of a terrible flu-cold type thing that had completely wiped her out. All three of these CarePoint teachers felt better at the time of prayer and were completely healed by the next day.
Jesus truly is our Healer! If you would like to know how we pray for healing just send us an email. It’s very simple and emphasizes a strictly biblical approach to requesting divine healing through prayer. God responds when we ask according to His Word.
Blessings,
Randy and Karen Brennan

Back Home in Swaziland!

Dear Friends and Family,
We have arrived safely back in Swaziland and it is great to be home! Our time back in the United States was such a blessing. We want to thank all of you for the love that you showed us while we were there. We were able to share with so many of you, what the Lord is doing here in Swaziland to build his kingdom. We were also able to hear about what the Lord is doing in your lives as well. It was an encouragement and a blessing!
When we arrived back in Swaziland, we were immediately faced with the stark reality of HIV/AIDS and the toll it is taking on the nation. This has renewed in us the sense of urgency in sharing the gospel and our daily need to be obedient to the Word of God.
Our dear friend at Children’s Cup, Gugu Dlamini, passed away on Saturday, May 15, 2010, one day before we arrived back in Swaziland. When we said good-bye on March 26, 2010, we didn’t realize we would not see her again. This however is a reality in Swaziland. She became sick with a fever on Monday, went to the doctor on Thursday, to the hospital on Friday and passed away on Saturday, as a result of complications from pneumonia. She was 41 years old. She is survived by her husband and three beautiful girls.
Gugu Dlamini
As we reflected on the legacy that Gugu left, it was unanimous that Gugu loved everyone very well! Jesus himself says in John 13:35, “By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Gugu was a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ evidenced by the fruit of love in her life.
Please pray with us for the family, that they will be comforted during this time.
Blessings,
