Ativa lived in Western Europe and couldn’t
walk without crutches. Her feet dragged behind her, crutches scraping the cobblestone
in rhythm to her struggle. She never imagined losing the ability to walk on her
own. Abbdu, her kind and gentle husband, measured his steps to hers. They were
in this together, whether she ever walked again on her own or not.
The moment Kabil, a Jesus Film worker, saw
Ativa, he knew God wanted to heal this woman.
“Can we pray for you?” Kabil asked.
Quietly, so as to not embarrass his wife, Abbdu told Kabil that while he was a
follower of Jesus, Ativa was not.
Nevertheless, Ativa knew she had nothing to
lose, and so she agreed.
As they prayed for her, God began healing
her broken body. At first movement returned to her toes, and then her ankles
and legs. The doubt she carried disappeared when she dropped her crutches and
began to run. Abbdu was amazed, praising Jesus for the gift of Ativa’s healing.
“I want to know more.” Ativa said to the team,
finally slowing down. She accepted a Bible and a copy of JESUS,
overwhelmed by joy.
