Chapter 12 - Page 169 - Village Goes To Work

Thank you for the friends you gave me and thank you for sending me to Africa. Please bless these people and speak to their hearts. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.”

   Jim saw all the people praying when he opened his eyes. One by one, they opened their eyes and the blue glow surrounding them faded. Clouds rolled in like waves across the ocean, spreading across the sky. Lightning flashed and the thunder roared. The humming sound rose, pulsated, faded away. Then the wind began to blow again and the sky cleared-everything returned to normal. The vision was over.

   Jim and Rhasha rose and stepped out into the hospital yard to meet the crowd of people that gathered around them. Everyone talked about the blue glow and the beams of light. The nurse exclaimed about the window to heaven. After a while, everyone drifted away and returned to work.

   Rhasha knew all the people in the village respected Jim, but until now, she had no idea how much. She was very touched by the peoples’ response.
