Witness to Goodness

It’s true. God has poured His goodness in the form of miracles and wonders into my life and the ministries I’ve been a part of for over 30 years. The Bible says we will overcome by “the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony.”  Here is my testimony of just some of the miracles and wonders I have seen. I’m telling you about them so you can overcome doubt and believe in a good God.

• Healed of blindness: Born blind, a little boy named Joshua was healed while we were feeding the hungry in his tiny village in India. Good overcomes the evil of darkness. 

• – Money miracle: The IRS voluntarily sent me a $1,700 check. I had overpaid them several years earlier and they found it on an internal audit. The amount is exactly what I needed to keep the bank from repossessing my house. Good overcomes the evil that threatens our homes. 

• – Healed of AIDS: In the final stages of full-blown AIDS, my good friend, Mike, attended a healing service. He knew in his heart he was healed and told me so. The doctor later confirmed there was no trace of the virus in his body. Good overcomes the evil of disease. 

• – Birth defect disappears: On a mission trip to Uganda, we came across a little girl with Down Syndrome. An American RN spent time with the child’s mama to help her understand how to best care for her. We fed, clothed and prayed with them. When we came back the next year, that same little girl was completely healed of a genetic disorder where one chromosome is missing throughout every cell in her body. Even her physical features had changed! Good overcomes the evil of birth defects. 

• Loaves and fishes: We took 1,000 backpacks full of new toys to Mexico for a children’s Christmas outreach. Over 3,000 children showed up, were fed, taught about Jesus, prayed over and given a backpack as a gift. When it was time to leave, we still had 1,000 backpacks in our truck! Good overcomes the evil of child poverty. 

Encouraged? Amazed by the goodness of God? You should be!
