God Healed – The Door Opened


 
God Healed – The Door Opened
The Pamir Mountains, a remote area of Tajikistan, is home to various tribes. These groups, separated from one another for centuries, speak their own languages and have their own customs.
One day, a pastor came to a village of about 30 families. Immediately the leaders grabbed him. At knife point, the leader questioned him about his intentions. Had he come to convert them? “I am a Christian,” he replied, “but my only intention is to help you in any way I can.”
He was invited into a large room, where the heads of the families were sitting, and was allowed to speak. While he was witnessing about God’s great love, one man stood up to leave the room. “Excuse me,” inquired the pastor, “but have I said anything that offended you? Please tell me.”
One of the men started to explain that the man who was leaving the room had a paralyzed wife at home, and he had to go home to take care of her. The pastor immediately asked permission to pray for her and he followed the man to his house.
Soon after praying for the paralyzed woman, she began to move her neck and her arm! The local mullah invited the pastor to come again. “I cannot help these people! Your God can! Please take care of them!”
One With Them
The door opened for the gospel in this village because of the willingness of this pastor. As you stand One With Them, pray for more people to go, even to the remotest places on earth, and share about the saving grace of Jesus.

Then know this .... It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth… whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.
(Acts 4:10)
