Got a minute for another God story?

Last week, we wrapped up a three-day medical outreach.

God did some incredible things, and honestly, we still have so much to tell you.

Here’s another testimony. ❤️

I sure hope you didn’t miss last week’s email about Sarah.

But There’s More to Sarah’s Story

When we received that report from our team, we were jumping up and down with excitement. I thought about it the entire weekend.

Sarah was carried into our medical facility completely unconscious. She couldn’t open her eyes, couldn’t speak, and her breathing was shallow. Her skin was cold.

Our medical team immediately began caring for her while others gathered around her and prayed.

Show Mercy team members carry Sarah in a wheelchair into the medical outreach after she arrived unconscious.

And then suddenly, Sarah took a deep breath and opened her eyes.

She sat up and began talking.

You have to understand, Sarah was totally out when they carried her in. And SUDDENLY, she was awake, sitting up, talking, and eventually walked out of the clinic that day.

She later told our team that while she was unconscious, she heard Jesus speak to her.

But there’s a part I didn’t tell you.

Sarah’s boss came in with her, and she never left her side. She stood there frozen, watching the doctors work on Sarah.

And then to suddenly see your employee…your friend…seemingly awaken from what felt like death. To see her start talking like nothing had happened.

Can you imagine???

Sarah’s boss began to weep.

And then…right there in that moment, she too gave her life to Jesus.

I’d love to show you a picture of them both, but when God shows up, it’s not like you’re thinking, “oh where’s my camera”…so you’ll have to imagine it with me.

Sarah…a young 18-year-old girl smiling and having just given her life to Jesus.

And her boss…a beautiful woman standing beside Sarah…having also just encountered Jesus for herself.

Before this outreach began, the Lord spoke something to me:

“I am going to do more than shillings or dollars ever could.”

And He did.

And that’s just one of SO many stories from those three days.

We still have more. ❤️

I’ve put a few of them below.

Grace's Story:

In 2004, when we began Show Mercy, we had no idea the depth and reach this journey would take. We simply said yes to helping 50 children. That’s it. No grand strategy. Just obedience.

And that’s when I met Grace—a quiet, wide-eyed little boy sitting in a church service. I invited him to sit on my lap, and from that moment on, he had a special place in my heart.

Grace’s story was painful. His father had died of AIDS, and by custom, he was sent to live with his grandparents. At just seven years old, Grace was forced to work in the fields from dawn to dusk, digging for food with his bare hands. He wasn’t allowed to go to school. He slept on the hard mud floor. His clothes were rags. He was in constant pain—his feet and hands raw and infected from living barefoot in the dirt.

When he was finally brought into our sponsorship program, everything changed.

A Heart Transformed

Grace was safe. He had a bed. A blanket. Shoes. Meals. Clean water. Medical care. An education. But more than all of that—he had love.He would run to carry my bags every time I visited. He started dreaming big, bold dreams. He told me with glistening eyes that one day he would be a pastor and evangelist for Jesus. And over and over again, he dreamed of fishing—casting nets—pulling in a catch.

One day, as he wept in my arms sharing the horrors of his early life, he suddenly lifted his head, smiled, and said something I will never forget:

“I now know what it means to be a King’s kid.”

Grace discovered who he truly was—not an orphan, not a slave—but a son of the King. That truth changed everything for him. And it became a cornerstone of this ministry’s calling.

The Final Goodbye

In 2008, we received the heartbreaking news that Grace had passed away. While being treated in the hospital for an injury, doctors discovered he had leukemia. It progressed quickly, and we didn’t even have time to say goodbye.

But then, something miraculous happened. My husband Mike had a dream. In it, Grace was sitting on Jesus’ lap—radiant, whole, joyful. He looked at Mike and said something like:

“Thank you… for showing me what a good Poppa is on the earth.”

He woke up in tears. It was as if Grace had come back one last time to say thank you—and to pass the baton.
