Full of Peace (Hannah's Heartbeat Newsletter)

“I am a single mother. I learned about Project Hannah from my son’s godfather; when he was sick, the Project Hannah prayer group went to visit him.

     When I went to visit my son’s godfather, I saw a group of women with Bibles and songbooks. They were different from people at church. What I was seeing was new to me, because I only knew that some women would meet in the Christian Council of Mozambique, not in someone’s house.

     My son’s godfather asked me to stay for the prayer time; I did, because it was important to him and he had been a widower for three months (his wife used to belong to the Project Hannah prayer group). The women did not talk about his disease specifically; they just prayed and told him to be strong, pray and keep believing in God. I think they only stayed for 20 minutes, but to me it felt like the place was no longer the same. It was full of peace.

     I was impressed by the joy they brought to him and the way they prayed. I felt their prayers came from deep in their hearts. I had always only prayed that God would help me be good. I asked him how I could join, and I was so excited to learn there was a Project Hannah prayer group where I lived. I joined the group.

     But, the testimony I share with you is not to say that I got this or that from the group, but to say that now I have a different relationship with my Lord and it is changing me.”
