Incredible story

I received this email today from our World Missions Director (it's an excerpt from the email AG News)
...so powerful..... I love hearing the stories of how God is making himself known.
I believe we are called to missions for 'such a time as this'....
We are believing God is going to take the media pieces that we create and use them to reach people who have never heard about a relationship with Jesus.

**MISSIONARY SHARES AMAZING TESTIMONY

Greg Mundis, the executive director of AG World Missions, recently
shared a testimony given to him by an Assemblies of God missionary
working in a highly sensitive country.

"I want to share this amazing testimony," Mundis said, "however, due
to the missionary's location, I can't give a name, location or some
of the details in order to protect the missionary and the people
this missionary is working with."

The missionary's report to Mundis explained how a local woman was
hospitalized, and due to her condition, she died. "Her husband,
having been informed of her death, had gone out to ask neighbors for
money to help with funeral expenses," the missionary said, "but when
he got back to the hospital, his wife was up, dressed and placing
her things in her bag."

The husband and physicians were dumbfounded, but finally managed to
ask her what happened.

"She told them that 'the doctor with the long hair and white robe
came in and said I was well and could go home,'" the missionary
recounts.

There was only one problem with her explanation — there wasn't any
doctor fitting that description working at the hospital.

The woman didn’t know anything about Jesus, the missionary said, but
when she saw an icon with a picture of Jesus on it, she pointed and
said, “That is the doctor who came in and said I was well and could
go home.”

"Apparently Jesus made His presence appear like the picture on the
icon so she’d understand what had just happened to her," Mundis
says.

Having removed her own tracheal tube, feeding tube and arm injection
tubes after Jesus talked to her, the woman was obeying her new
doctor's instructions and heading home. The missionary shares that
the woman still had a drain tube in her abdomen, but pulled that out
when she got home and had a neighbor sew up the wound. "She told the
neighbor she wasn't going back to the hospital where she died and to
'sew her up' here."

"As amazing as that story is, it gets even better," Mundis said.
"The woman talked to Jesus after He healed her and said, 'You healed
me. Will You heal my paralyzed boy too?'"

The missionary reports that night, the woman's husband heard someone
walking in the house. He got up, and there was their five-year-old
son — who had never walked previously but dragged himself around on
his hands with absolutely no feeling in his legs — up and walking
around the house!"

"God is making Himself known throughout the world," Mundis states.
"Christ appearing to individuals to those who have never heard of
Him, in dreams or in the form of a person, as well God doing the
miraculous, are testimonies being reported over and over again. I
believe God is preparing the world for something beyond our greatest
imaginings!"
