During my recent trip to India, my first in more than two years, I had the opportunity to return to a village that I had ministered in the summer of 2019. It was just a short visit for a few hours but it was good to be back and see how the ministry had grown since our last visit.

They told me how a man that had been blind could now see and how a woman who was crippled had been healed during our last visit. Because of these miracles the church was growing by leaps and bounds. I was so encouraged to see what God was doing in this remote place of North India.

Then they brought a man to me. He was very small in stature but it turned out that he has a very big God. “Do you remember this man?” The pastor asked. “No, I’m sorry I don’t.” I replied.  I have prayed over thousands of people and to be honest there are many of them I just don’t remember. “When you were here last we visited this man in his home. He was dying of AIDS and you prayed for him.  God healed him and he was able to get his job back,” said the pastor.

Then they introduced me to the woman standing next to him. “After he was healed he was married to this woman. She used to be a homeless street beggar. He brought her to Jesus and they were married about a year ago,” the pastor explained.

What an amazing story of how good our Jesus is! A dying man was redeemed. His job was redeemed. A homeless street beggar was redeemed. And now they are living their lives glorifying the One who redeemed them.

I just shake my head at the love and power of God…and I still wish I could remember praying for that guy!
