God Answers Prayer!

(An amazing, recent, true story from OBE prison ministry)

Daniel, the deaf inmate I work with, began to pray for reconciliation with his family. He had a half-sister with whom he had been close. But he had not heard from her for over twenty years, and they had not parted on the friendliest terms.

After he began praying, one night he was awakened with the message, “Your half-sister is going to contact you.” He didn’t know where this message came from or what to make of it. He dismissed it as wishful thinking, until he was awakened with the same message the next two nights. The messages encouraged him to pray more fervently for reconciliation.

After the third night, his counselor asked to meet with him. Daniel wondered what he was in trouble for now.

Instead, his counselor told him that his half-sister had contacted her and wanted to get in contact with him. Since then, Daniel and his half-sister have corresponded with one another. She is married, and has a family that wants to welcome Daniel when he is released from prison.

Daniel is elated that Jesus has answered his prayers. Like the man in Acts 3 who was healed, Daniel was walking and leaping and praising God.

Thank you for your on-going prayers for Opening Blind Eyes. We serve a God who can do far beyond what we imagine!

In Christ,
