Frustration to Faith
He had been bed ridden for almost two years. Despite his wife’s faith Dr Anis was an atheist. This man who used to be a doctor and helped people now needed his family to help him do everything. The family was all exhausted from the situation. During a visit you could feel the exhaustion as you entered the home. Our staff member went over at the end of the visit and asked if she could pray for him, surprisingly he said yes.
His wife began coming to the women’s bible study and wanted us to visit them again. While at the house the daughter told us from the day of the last visit and the prayer her father began to change. His attitude had changed. This frustrated, tired man began to soften not only that but he began to pick up the bible and read. Each day he emotionally and spiritually felt better and his body began to feel better. The original feeling of exhaustion when entering the house had changed. It was now light and hopeful. And when we came in Dr. Anis was no longer in his bed but sitting contentedly gazing out the window.
One moment of prayer and an encounter with the love of God through our team changed the direction of the home.
