MOZAMBIQUE - Woman Raised From the Dead

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Source: Operation Mobilization Headlines, August 18-24, 2008

Innocencia was ill with malaria, and went into a coma and died. Mozambique OM Country Leader, Antonio Nipueda, was called to the hospital. He prayed Psalm 23 over her and Innocencia revived! The nurses didn't believe it was Innocencia when they saw her, and everyone at the hospital surrounded her to have a look.

Innocencia was not a Christian before she became ill. She came to faith after she got her life back and went to spend a few days with Bible students. She then went back to pray for other sick people, one of whom subsequently came out of a coma. She is now going from house to house sharing her testimony, and has already brought five people to Jesus.

Praise God that He restores life. Pray for Innocencia as she matures in her faith, that God would continue to use her greatly.

As a journalist working in Mozambique, I would like to check the truth of this extremely unlikely story.

So can you please supply:

1. The name of the hospital and the name of the town or city where it is located;

2. The date of the supposed resurrection; and

2. The names of the nurses caring for Inocencia.

Please send this information to my e-mail:

If I do not receive a reply I shall assume that the story is a pack of lies

Paul Fauvet,

I am very sorry for getting to you so long after you wrote me. I did not realize that you had made a comment until just a few minutes ago. Please forgive me.

You wrote that you would assume that this story is a "pack of lies" if I did not reply with the information you requested. Is it safe to assume then that you will believe it if I give that information to you? ;) Obviously not. Respectfully Paul, Im not sure you would believe it if you did interview these people and they all said that this story were true. That includes the woman who was raised from the dead.

I personally know a man who was murdered and came back to life. Though I was not an eyewitness, there were over 400 eyewitnesses who observed this murder and who saw him days later. One put his hand through one of the mans wounds belonging to the man who was murdered for proof. He did this because he did not believe the man was actually the one who was murdered!
Regarding the lady who you were inquiring about, you sir are a journalist. I am sure that you were able to read the article and see that I referenced where I located it. So it seems to me that you were not seeking to find out the truth of the matter so much as you were attempting to try to prove to me with logic that this is a bogus account. Sir, again, as a journalist you should know that all I was doing was reporting something that someone else had said; nothing more. I never stated that it was true. In fact I too hold a skeptical eye when I read stories such as this. However, someone stated that it was true. Just because it is "fantastic" does not mean that it isnt true. I know of many "fantastic" stories that have occured throughout the world. None of these stories are stories that have happened to me personally but to people I know and trust. Therefore I am not willing to discount this story.

If you wish to seek and find out from these eyewitnesses as to the veracity of this story I would be greatly blessed if you would let me know what your findings are whether they are true or in fact a pack of lies.

Paul I do wish you well in your search for the truth. I pray that I have not offended you because that has not been my intention. I appreciate your reading my blog and would like to encourage you to continue to read and to comment. Dialog is "so very" important.

May the Father of heaven and earth give you eyes to see and ears to hear,
m

Paul,
It is now near the day that we Christians celebrate the birth of the One who I was speaking about in my last reply on June 11th and I have not heard back from you in regards to the voracity of this story. Since you are in Africa and I am not it seems to be that you sir are the one who is better equipped to find out the truth in regards to what I posted. I also encourage you to seek the truth of whether Christ is the Creator of the universe or not. You can do so here BIBLEGATEWAY.COM

What is a ReVoLuTiOn?

G. K. Chesterton said that every revolution is a restoration—the recapturing and re-introduction of something that once guided and inspired people in the past. The word revolution is from the Latin word re-volvere—to re-roll or re-turn. A revolution is that thing which going around, comes around—again. In a similar vein, C.S. Lewis says that when we have lost our way, the quickest way forward is usually to go home. So we are returning, we are revolving. To put it strongly, we are revolting, and we are doing it by going home.

What is Revolutionary Tendencies?

Revolutionary Tendencies is an on line collection of my discoveries, thoughts, convictions and my understanding of what it is to be an "m". At present it is a place where I will be storing various "m" ideas and resources. I'm sure that as time goes on it will come to include much more but for now that is what it encompasses. You are welcome to read whatever might be of interest to you. I prize your opinion, so please feel free to offer any input that you think might be of value. May His Name be known among the nations!

Proselytism vs. Evangelism

Proselytism and evangelism are not the same thing. To proselytize is to convert somebody else to our opinions and culture, and to squeeze him into our mould; to evangelize is to proclaim God’s good news about Jesus Christ to the end that people will believe in him, find life in him and ultimately be conformed to his image, not ours. The motive behind proselytism is concern for the spread of our own little empire; the motive behind evangelism is concern for the true welfare of men and thereby for the name, kingdom, will and glory of God - John Stott, Christ the Controversialist (173, 174)

What is a Rope Holder?

William Carey, the father of the modern mission movement, was visiting with Andrew Fuller in regards to being a missionary to India. Fuller said in reference to the lost souls in need of hearing the Gospel, “There is a gold mine in India; but it seems as deep as the centre of the earth; who will venture to explore it?” “I will GO down” responded Carey. He then stated “but remember that you must hold the rope”, meaning that he needed support if he were to go. Rope holders are the ones who send out and support missionaries. ROPE HOLDERS are essential to the missionary task. They are just as key to this task as the ones who GO because the ones who GO are not as easily enabled to do so without the necessary sacrificial giving of the His saints and more importantly without the integral adoration, pleas and thanksgivings offered up to The Redeemer. John Piper once said in one of his sermons that there are three types of Christian; those who GO, those who SEND and those who are DISOBEDIENT. If the first two types of Christians do not describe you, then you need to start praying about where you are to GO or start praying about HOW you are to HOLD THE ROPES.
