The remarkable power of discipleship can be found in the beautiful testimonies we hear from those who are touched by God while searching for a glimmer of hope.
Natalia, who’s been living in Ashkelon for years, was pretty skeptical about faith. Until one day, a friend invited her to our women’s meeting. At the end of the meeting, she asked us to pray for her injured leg.
She was quite forthcoming about not believing in God, however for some reason she felt compelled to ask for prayer.
Whatever happened in those moments of prayer remains between Natalia and God, yet it stirred something in her; a desire to attend our discipleship course for seekers and newly saved.
God began His work in her, and when she finished one of the sessions, she came to us with the glow of newfound faith and said, “I was full of doubts when I first started attending the course, but God removed every single one of them! I am so captivated by Him. I know now that God exists!”
But her journey didn’t stop there. At the next discipleship session, Natalia asked for prayers for her son, a young surgeon preparing for exams. Inspired by his mom’s experience, he started believing in God and the power of prayer. Natalia shared that after our first prayer, the hematomas on her injured leg disappeared, and she could walk pain-free.
Her son, who had recommended surgery, examined her leg and called it an absolute miracle, acknowledging that it had to have been God who had healed her. He then asked his mom to request prayers for his upcoming exams.
Natalia’s story is a perfect example of how God uses the power of prayer, miracles, and the importance of discipleship.
By reaching out and inviting others to experience God’s love, we can change the course of their lives and inspire faith even in the most skeptical hearts.
Natalia’s journey reminds us that through prayer, support, and God’s power, we can bring hope, healing and salvation to those around us.
Let’s keep reaching out, sharing our faith, and inviting others to know God.
Together, we can celebrate the incredible ways God works in our lives.
