MISSION'S STORIES

Publishing God's stories among the nations.

"I walked down to the local convenience store to buy a Coke when I noticed a man who looked like he was in pain. He said his shoulder was hurting, so I offered to pray for him.

He had the smell of alcohol on his breath, and I recognized him as someone known around our small town as an alcoholic. As I prayed for him, tears slid down his face, and he immediately left the store.

Later that week, I saw him lying facedown on the sidewalk, and I quickly called an ambulance. I visited him in the hospital several times but lost touch with him after his release.

One day I saw him again in a local restaurant, and he told me that he had not had another drink since the night I prayed for him. God touched him and healed him of alcoholism right on the spot in the convenience store."

~ Jason Whitlock, Campus Director of YWAM West Virginia
