Kinesisk krympling helad

Ännu ett vittnesbörd hämtat från Jesus Armys ”Revival Fires”.

Mrs. Chang hadn’t had anything to laugh about for a long time. Her arms and legs had been crippled for 21 years, constraining her to her bed. One day, she told her son, the eldest of her 9 children, ‘Son, I can’t stand the pain any longer. Take me to the hospital.’ Her son strapped her to his tricycle and pedaled the 60km (40 miles) to the nearest hospital.

The doctors could not help her; some of her organs were already dying. ‘She should die at home with her family,’ they recommended. A Chinese Christian nurse was walking down the corridor. When she reached Mrs. Chang’s bed, the nurse stopped and secretly gave her a copy of the Mark’s gospel, saying ‘Read that when you get home.’

When Mrs. Chang arrived home to her family, she told her son to read from the book. He began ‘This is the good news of Jesus Christ!’ Suddenly, Mrs. Chang’s bones started to move – she was healed! She soon gave her life to Jesus and became a committed Christian.

On her way to the well, everyone asked her, ‘You are Mrs. Chang. Which doctor healed you? We want him to treat us too!’ Mrs. Chang invited them to her home, and told a large group of women ‘This is the good news of Jesus Christ!’. In only 4 weeks, all 600 of the village’s inhabitants had decided to follow Jesus.

Unfortunately, the police arrived soon, after hearing of the new ‘sect’, beat the villagers, shot their animals, burned the crops and left, believing that that would be the last they heard of Jesus. They were wrong: in only 4 years, 70,000 people in the region have become Christians as a result of the villagers’ steadfast testimony.
