March 2007 - Healing of Miguel's sister



Miguel Maldonado is one of the quiet, humble pillars of our community. He is so faithful and steady in coming to the ministries to serve in any way he can. His roles are many – he is a key driver on the weekly routes taking food to the elderly poor, sick and homebound we serve in Juarez, Mexico. He is also part of the team that goes to the jails each week to take food and the Word of God to those in prison. In addition to all that, Miguel is one of the broadcasters at our international shortwave radio station KJES, which is located at The Lord's Ranch in New Mexico.

Recently Miguel shared with us a wonderful testimony. This is what he told us:

My sister has smoked cigarettes for many years. In a recent medical examination the doctor told her, “You have cancer in your lungs. It is so advanced that we are going to have to operate on you immediately and try to remove the tumors.”
So the emergency surgery was scheduled and my sister called me desperate for prayer. I assured her we would be praying for her, and the morning of her scheduled operation, we went to Mass with the community. At the prayers of the faithful I prayed out loud for her healing. I felt the Lord’s peace.

Later on my sister phoned me from the hospital. “The doctors opened me up and could find no sign of cancer! My lungs were clear and fine, thanks be to God.”

I give thanks and praise to God for all His marvels for me and for my family.

We join Miguel in thanking God for this wonderful healing.
