Sprawled across numerous beautiful hills, ridges and valleys…. Kigali, Rwanda.
It was a regular Friday night.
Fiery prayers were going up in a spirited all-night prayer meeting.
Suddenly a frantic phone call. It was one of our pastors’ wife. One of their young children was under some form of ‘attack’ back at home.
We left the allnight with a few others and dashed to the home of this pastor. Upon reaching his residence, we realised that the little boy was totally unresponsive!
He wasn’t breathing. We did everything we could – screaming his name, splashing water on him, he just wouldn’t respond!
From all indications this boy had either died or was on the verge of death.
To be honest it was frightening.
The situation began to draw some attention, neighbors gathering even at that time of the night.
Amidst fervently prayers, we rushed him to the nearest hospital.
After several checks, the doctors really couldn’t figure out what was wrong with him.
Then the miracle.
Suddenly the boy just came back to life. Sweet relief! Doctors were still at a loss as to what had actually happened. This obviously could have only been the hand of God at work!
Meanwhile back in the neighborhood, just about 3 blocks away from the pastor’s house, another family’s son passed away that same night. Strange happenings. Death had been lurking in the neighborhood.
