As our team has been expanding, it's been amazing to see God move in new ways and new places.  We've been able to move into a new apartment in November, San Marcos.  This apartment is largely Hispanic with some African-American families as well.  A both physically and spiritually oppressive place, God has been making a way there.  Many members of both the Ranchester and Salem Oaks team have been praying over this place for months and ministering there.  Last week, while on the way to visit an Afghani family there (the only Afghani in the whole complex), a young Hispanic mother stopped us on the way and asked, "Do you live here?"  This opened a conversation about what we were here for and why we keep walking around the complex (to pray).  

This young woman, Diana, was amazingly prepared by God and told us God had prompted her to go and talk to us.  She had been having spiritual dreams about conquering satanic attacks and preaching the gospel to a neighboring apartment complex that's also been on our hearts. She instantly wanted to come with us and learn and told us she was willing to "do whatever we told her to do."  Wow!  We encouraged her that God had been telling us that He was preparing leaders in San Marcos Apartments to start a movement that would change that area, the city and even their home countries, and that we thought she was one of these leaders.  Diana received this word with tears, saying this was from God.  She ended our time with praying over us before we went to visit the Afghani family while listening to worship music in the laundromat.  We then prayed over her as she knelt among the washers and dryers with tears flowing down her face.   Pray for Diana as we continue to work with her.  God has big things in store.  

Next, we went to visit the Muslim family.  Though sometimes not allowed into a new home right away, this family received us with smiles and ushered us into a sitting room.  They served us tea and cookies and warmly talked to us for hours.  We shared briefly with them that we follow Isa (Jesus) and got to pray healing over their baby who was sick.  Today we visited them again and he was better!  They thanked us for their prayers, but please pray they will acknowledge that Jesus healed him!
