A patient at a native ministry’s medical clinic despaired of ever being healed of a diabetic wound, and local missionaries read to her from John 5 the narrative of the invalid healed after 38 years. At the workers’ urging she prayed in Christ’s name, and she gained hope as healing advanced to miraculous stages. Through the clinic, a bookshop, literacy classes and personal visits, workers gave people the opportunity to know Christ. Donations are sought for the tools and means to proclaim the gospel and disciple new believers. Workers request prayer for protection from opposition.
