Missions Monday

Well its Missions Monday and I have a perfect story to share.

It is sort of an explanation of why we do missions. Its so people can experience Jesus! Our Father, our Healer, our Savior.

We got this letter in the mail from the Executive Director of Assemblies of God Missions, Greg Mundis. He is a great guy and this is a great story. I am writing it for you to read.

Dear Friend of Missions,

Thank you for helping us share the hope of the gospel throughout the world by your faithful support of missionaries and ministries.

I want to share with you and amazing testimony from a missionary working in a highly sensitive country.

A local woman was hospitalized and lay in a coma at or near death. Her husband went to begin funeral arrangements. When he returned to the hospital, his wife was up, dressed and packing to go home.

The husband and physicians were dumbfounded and asked her what happened. She asked them, "Where is the doctor with the long hair and white robe?" No doctor in the hospital fit that description.

The woman didn't know anything about Jesus, but she saw a painting of Him hanging on the hospital wall. "That is the doctor who came to me," she told them. Jesus had graciously appeared to her, looking like the painting so she would be able to identify the Man who visited her.

The woman removed her own tracheal tube, feeding tube and arm injection tubes after Jesus came to her. The missionary shared that the woman still had a drain tube in her abdomen, but she pulled that out when she got home and had a neighbor sew up the wound.

As amazing as this story is, it gets even better. The woman talked to Jesus after He healed her and said, "You healed me. Will You heal my paralyzed boy too?" That night, the woman's husband heard someone walking in the house. He got up, and there was their 5-year-old son- who had never walked previously- up and walking around the house!

The story doesn't even end there. As a result of these miracles, there are now six new churches being built.

Testimonies abound as God is making himself known throughout the world. I believe He is preparing the Church for miracles beyond our greatest imaginings!

So All Can Hear, Greg Mundis

~Isn't that the coolest story. It really inspires me this Holy Week to think about our All Powerful, and All Loving God.

Thats all for now, Chelsea
