More Power

From the Friday Fax, relevant to the whole Power Evangelism discussion:
India: amputation unnecessary, healed of cancer
"Two of our full-time evangelists were looking for accommodation for the
night," reports German missions agency "Stimme der Zigeuner" (Voice of the
Gypsies). "When they eventually found a place to stay in Khamman, Andra Pradesh
State, the house owner refused to let them in because they were Christians. The
housewife bravely decided to let them in. The unfriendly owner, a rich
landowner, suffered from diabetes, and had open wounds on his feet. His doctors
had prescribed various medicines to prepare him for an amputation the following
week. His wife asked her guests for prayer for herself and her husband; the
evangelists told her that she too should pray to God. The healing was rapid;
the surprised doctors cancelled the amputation, because the man was completely
healthy. When his wife told of her husband's healing in the nearby store, the
store owner, who suffered from cancer, also started praying to God. She was
healed too. The thankful landowner donated land, on which a church building was
opened in April 2004."
