Then She Stood Up in Germany

Go25 is a church planting effort in Germany in which AGWM personnel, Mike Tyler is involved. Lives are being touched and God is performing miracles. Mike tells of the following incident: “This month we got out of the box with our outreach. We took our Go25 Team to a health services convention in nearby Bayreuth. The convention hall was expecting 8,000 visitors over the weekend, and was packed with vendors selling everything from prosthetic enhancements, to herbal teas, to “healing talismans”. We were the only booth in the whole convention which didn’t bring anything to sell. We went to give people the simple message that Jesus still heals today, and to offer to pray for them.

“On Saturday afternoon 3 of our Go25 Team members and a teenager from our church took time to pray for a woman in a wheel chair. She had survived 3 strokes in the past year, and as a result had lost all feeling in her right leg. As the four of them prayed for her in Jesus name she regained all feeling in her leg. Then she got up out of the wheel chair! Her excitement was evident to everyone around. All the sales people from the other booths near ours and many convention visitors saw the whole thing. That in itself is pretty exciting but what’s even more exciting was seeing how this one miraculous healing opened up the door for hundreds of great conversations in which our team got the chance to share the Gospel over and over again!

It’s amazing to see what God does when we step out and take risks for his glory!”
