StreetSeed went old school with a Thursday morning outing this week (back to Wednesday next week) - here's some of the encounters we had:
---
We prayed for a woman we have met before who has had arthritis since she was 18. It got a bit better after praying and she was really blessed by the encounter.
We bumped into a man who'd been fixing David's broadband this morning who he'd wanted to pray for but hadn't had the chance. He was totally open and up for prayer, including for his wedding in 6 weeks, which was great.
Then we met a woman who is being baptised later this year and prayed for her - it felt like God was really pursuing her.
Finally we saw a guy who we thought was limping but when we asked about his health he shared that he had ongoing problems with his hands. We prayed for him and he said he felt warmth and then described it as though someone was physically trying to pull him away from his pain. It felt like a real picture of Jesus.

We went down to the river. On the way we met a woman who has a colleague with cancer, who was happy for us to pray with her.
Then we chatted to one of the waitresses from one of the riverfront restaurants who didn't want to be prayed for, but we had a word for her about fashion and art. It sounded like she was ready to do something different with her career, so hopefully she was encouraged by the word.
We also met a man who asked us to pray for his wife and her brother, as their relationship has broken down.
