INDIAN GIRL COMES BACK TO LIFE

A 16-year-old girl from a village in the northern Indian state Bihar died - but still had an important mission to fulfill. A team which wanted to show the Jesus film in the village had been brusquely turned away by the village elders, who refused them permission. As the girl's parents were about to bury her, she woke up from the dead and said something amazing: the God of which the film team spoke had sent her back to the village for 7 days to tell them about him. The girl went to search for the team, and brought them back to the village, where they could show the film. Hundreds of people decided to become Christians, and at least 6 new churches were started.

DEAD GIRL RAISED IN INDIA

"A 4th-grade girl was recently bitten by a venomous snake, and died in hospital despite the doctor's best efforts to keep her alive. The staff left the dead girl's room. A few minutes later, two Christians from a church in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, heard what had happened and went into the room. They prayed for half an hour, calling on Jesus to restore the girl's life. The girl started to breathe, and her life returned. They quickly called the doctor, who was naturally perplexed by what had happened; he removed the venom from the wound on the girl's leg. The girl is now completely healthy. The news spread not only in the local church, but also throughout the hospital."

ANOTHER GIRL HEALED

The report continues: "In the Lak valley in northern India, a poor family brought their seriously ill little daughter to the local hospital. The doctors had no idea what to do, and wanted to send the girl to the nearest city for treatment, and told the father that it could cost US$7,000. Sam Chand, the girl's father, was in a desperate situation, because he, like most others in India, had no health insurance. After hearing of his need, the staff of a local mission agency went to the hospital to pray for the girl. God performed a miracle: she is now healthy and has returned home."
