Do you believe that God is in the business of miracles? Well, let me introduce you to a 4 year old
boy from Gaba, Uganda, named Jonathan.
The Due Unto Others
medical team noticed Jonathan wearing a ragged bandage on his arm while
standing in front of his mother’s fruit stand in February of 2012. He had accidentally pulled a pot of boiling
water onto himself a few days before.
His right elbow had 3rd degree burns that would probably have
required skin grafts, in a burn unit, in the US. No such care was available to Jonathan. The burn caused his right elbow to stay in a
bent position and he even had some second degree burns on his abdomen. Jonathan was taken to Wentz Medical Center,
where he received daily wound care and the Due Unto Others medical team sent
out requests for prayers from all over the world. I had significant concerns that
Jonathan’s arm would be permanently scarred in a bent position and be
essentially useless to him. Over the
next two weeks, the power of prayer took over.
Jonathan regained full function of his elbow and ended up with almost no
scar whatsoever. Christians, from many
churches, lifted Jonathan up in prayer, and a miracle happened.
Because Jonathan lived near the home base of the team, team
members were able to build a relationship with Jonathan’s mother. She started attending a local church and the
direction of her life seemed to take a different course.
Donations to foreign missions have allowed Jonathan to
attend school. He has truly experienced
God’s love.
1 in 5 children in Uganda die before their 5th birthday. What if we helped That One Person?
