We're ba-a-ack!

This afternoon, in my Synoptic Gospels class, one of my classmates turned to me during our caffeine break and told me that another classmate was in serious physical pain and needed medical assessment but was on a three month waiting list (one of the downsides of living in Manitoba). She was quite concerned for him, and said "we should pray for him".

Taking that as a cue, I jumped over the table and asked him if we could pray for him -- he was more than willing, saying that he was only "pretending" to look healthy but was in considerable pain. I called the rest of the class around and a bunch of us gathered around him, laid hands on him, and prayed for healing. The prof came back from the break and saw us praying, and joined us.

It was so cool -- Australian, Canadian, American, Aboriginal, Korean, and Nigerian brothers and sisters all praying together on behalf of another Korean brother. Who knows -- or cares -- how many denominations must have been represented? This was the Body in full flight.

Today's class was really refreshing and encouraging. I look forward to hearing how our Korean brother's health is next Wednesday when we're together again.

Oh, and the class topic today was the Sermon on the Mount. It's all good!
