Invisible Miracle

Almost everybody would like to see a miracle like a blind person made to see… or a paralytic made to rise and walk. But what about the invisible miracles? Often they are the best kind. Here’s a picture of that best kind of miracle, taken last week by someone’s camera without a flash. The picture may be weak, but the miracle is strong. Martin Jacobson just sent it to me with these words:

This is Felix Olazabal — he is the young man from Horacio Balbi’s church who God RADICALLY saved out of alcoholism and now with a heart aflame for evangelism, he and his wife, Jessica, and young son, Mateo, are SO EXCITED to be preparing for ministry at IBP! Before coming to Christ, he attempted suicide on more than one occasion and was found frequently passed out from alcohol. He is always one of the first to the altar, crying out to God for a deeper relationship and interceding for the lost.

Listen up you agnostics and atheists! There are no hospitals, no expert surgeons; no psychologists or psychiatrists than can imitate this miracle. Our powerful resurrected Jesus Christ is the only One that can take such a broken, hopeless wreck and lift it from the jaws of death to vibrant life!

Hey! It’s “Resurrection Week!” Let’s celebrate Jesus!

Early this morning I left the Patagonian Bible Institute behind. Martin took me to the Trelew airport with my new destination our AG Bible Institute in Cordoba where the director, Missionary Stephen Wallace, and about 50 students are waiting for me to minister to them beginning tonight. Oh, God! Who am I to stand among such resurrected miracles?! Ah! But then I remember that I, too, am one of them… a recipient of the life-giving grace and power of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!

I always need your prayers, but especially during this Spiritual Emphasis week.
