“I work at “MacDonald’s” as a staff recruiter and staff manager. The other day a man fell on the floor in our restaurant in an epileptic seizure. The scared workers called for an ambulance but of course, something needed to be done immediately to help the man, so they called for me because they know I am a Christian and I pray. I knelt next to him and prayed a simple prayer for healing. In a moment he stood up, completely restored. We continued talking until the ambulance arrived, but there was nothing for the paramedics to do, and they could not believe what happened, because as they said – it takes several hours, not moments to recover from an epileptic seizure.
One evening as we watched the Lakeland Outpouring in our church, Todd Bentley shared a word of knowledge for healing of a brain tumor that really touched me and prompted me to pray. I could not figure out why – I did not know anybody who had one. However, the next day a girl came into my office who was going to quit her job. The reason being a speedily growing brain tumor due to a concussion she had received a while ago after her stepfather beat her up. The doctors said she needed to be urgently operated on and they did not guarantee that she would live longer than one year. I blew up at the devil so boldly trying to take the life of a 17 year old! I took the girl aside, told her about Jesus and God’s love and power to heal and prayed for her. The next day I went on vacation for a month. Imagine my joy and thankfulness to the Lord when they told me after my return that the girl did not proceed with quitting her job. In fact, she still works with us to this day and as she went to the hospital every 3rd day for check ups the doctors watched how the tumor stopped growing, died and decreased in size down to nothing. They cancelled the operation and are amazed at what could have produced such a drastic reversal of the process! Praise be to Jesus! He still heals today! Please join us in prayer for the girl’s salvation. Her name is Marina”.

“I recently moved to a new area of the city and met a Christian woman who came to St. Petersburg from Ukraine in order to take care of her paralyzed relative. I asked her permission to come and visit this man. She was happy to invite me, because all her attempts to tell him about Jesus failed. He did not want to hear anything from her. Like she said, “a prophet is not accepted at her own house”. Surprisingly, when I shared with him the message of the Gospel, he decided to turn to God in a prayer of repentance and accepted Jesus as his personal Savior and Lord. I also prayed for his healing and I continue to pray until I see a breakthrough in his health condition”.Sveta Moroz
“My unsaved brother-in-law has TB (in addition to hepatitis C due to his drug-addiction past) and spends most of his time in hospitals. Therefore, doctors also monitor my sister’s condition. Recently they called her, alarmed, because there were multiple signs of TB found in her lungs, according to the X-Rays they performed. They were going to put her in the hospital, too. Although an unbeliever and at times even severely opposed to my life of following Jesus, she turned to me for prayer in this critical moment of her life. I prayed for her healing. As the result the next X-Rays performed showed no signs of TB! Isn’t God amazing?!

While visiting friends in South Carolina, Katya met Natasha – a dear orphan from Belorussia who was spending the summer in the USA. The girls became friends, Katya shared the Gospel with her and Natasha received Jesus (in the picture). Following are excerpts from Katya’s letters to us regarding other miracles:“I'm so excited I just have to tell you this tonight, before I go to bed. We are at Carl & Vivian’s home, we're probably going to stay here for a few days. But the thing I wanted to tell you is this. Before I came to the US I was praying for the Lord to work through me here. I got addicted to all of the things Jesus is doing, all of the healings and miracles that are happening in our church! So today I was sitting at the dinner table with Carl and Vivian and I noticed a little hearing aid sticking out of Carl’s left ear, then I saw another one in the right ear. And I felt that Jesus told me to pray for Carl. After we finished eating, I asked him if I could pray for him, and he said yes, so I did. He immediately took his hearing aid out. Previously he couldn't hear microwave oven buttons dinging when you push them. So he tested his hearing and still he couldn't hear them, so we commanded the ears to be open again. He tested again, and he could hear some of them. We again commanded his ears to be open in the name of Jesus. We repeated it several times until he could hear almost all of the buttons of varying sounds. Carl then said it would be a real miracle if he could hear the crickets in the evening, as he had not been able to hear crickets for 6 years. So an hour later, we went for a walk. And guess what??? He COULD HEAR THE CRICKETS!!!!!! That night, Carl did not put his hearing aids back in and has been able to hear without them ever since. Isn't that amazing! THANK YOU, JESUS!!! I am soooooo excited, and am really thankful that Jesus can even use me ! I am so blessed, I want to continue, and never stop!!!”
“Carl hasn't been wearing hearing aids for several weeks, and still hears the crickets”.
“Here is some more! Today we were at church with Carl & Vivian. After the service they introduced us to a couple: Ron & Sandy. Ron had the same hearing problem as Carl. He couldn't hear about 20-25 %, and also high-pitched & soft voices or sounds. His wife Sandy had arthritis in her knees, and in her left knee there are two bones that click when she walks, making it hard for her to walk. So Mom, Carl, Vivian and I laid hands on them and we prayed for Sandy first, for her knees. During the prayer Sandy stood up to her feet and started walking. She used to feel the two bones clicking together, now she couldn't. She said it felt like somebody lubricated the inside between her bones. Then we prayed for her husband - Ron, for his hearing. Mom and I put both of our hands on his ears. We commanded both ears to be OPEN in the name of Jesus! After that Ron said he heard a POP, and he could hear the rain outside, and a little buzzing noise on the stage that he couldn't hear before! THANK YOU JESUS! I also got a prophetic word for him, that he is a teacher. He said, "Yes, I'm a professor at UGA." I said, "Jesus is going to use you in reaching the young people and seeing their lives changed. Jesus is going to work through you! You are going to bring many young people to Jesus!" And Ron just started weeping. He said, "Thank you for being obedient to the voice of the Lord!" They both thanked us! And it was just so good! Jesus is cool! I like it! He doesn't stop! And I don't want to stop either!”
