Prayer Works 11

BABY HEALED

Becca Bates and her son Dustin were just eating their lunch in Centralia, Washington, when they were disturbed. An ambulance drove on to the parking lot with sirens blaring, and a large group of people had gathered. Becca and her son also went outside to see what had happened. A 22-month-old baby was lying on the ground, and the paramedics had just started to examine it. The baby had stopped breathing, had lost almost all of its color, and showed no signs of life.

17-year-old Dustin went forward and did the unthinkable: "Could I hold the baby?", he asked the paramedics. They gave him the baby. He then asked "Would it be okay for me to pray?". As Dustin was praying for the baby in front of all the people, Becca went to the distressed mother to comfort her and pray with her. Just then, the baby started to move. Dustin put the baby on his shoulder and started to caress it. Moments later, its color returned and it began to cry.
