SEE WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE!!!!
Here is a sampling of some of the many miracles
that God has done over the last months.
HEALINGS
Andreea (17 years old), one of our clowns for the children's outreach, fell
down and broke her arm. She went to David and Mihaela's house and they
prayed for her. She was healed on the spot and all pain just disappeared! She
then went for an x- ray and to the doctor. The doctor's conclusion as he
looked at the x-ray, her arm looked like one that had just come out of a cast.
The bones had obviously been broken but they had healed nicely too.
Ramona, (17 years old) an orphan teenager broke her finger
five years ago. Her middle finger of her left hand remained
permanently bent at the last joint until she came to Antioch
Christian Center and David prayed for her. He covered her
hands between his and prayed for about a minute. When he
removed his hands he told Ramona to look at her finger. It was
straight! Ramona proudly tells everyone what God has done
for her, showing her straight finger as evidence.
Ramona , same as above, called Suzie by mobile phone one evening to talk about school,
church and this and that. Ramona mentioned that her kidneys hurt. Suzie told Ramona to
put her hand on her kidneys and then started praying. After a minute or so Suzie asked,
"OK how do you feel?" You could hear the joy and amazement in Ramona's voice as she
said, "I don't feel anything! I mean, it doesn't hurt anymore." Healing by mobile phone.
Adds a whole new concept to mobile phone services!
Timi's (19 years old) eyesight was healed during camp. He
no longer needs his glasses. The last night of camp, in
testimony to what God had done, he laid his glasses on the
stage and took a chair and crashed it over the top of his
glasses. This was a powerful symbolic act that
communicated loudly, "I won't be needing these anymore!"
Razvan had a knee problem that was healed at camp. He had been scheduled for an
operation shortly after the camp. Now he can cancel the surgery!
Susi (83 years old), is our church "grandma ". Recently she was suffering
with various ailments that were causing her severe pain in a number of
places in her body. Suzie went and prayed for her. After praying, Susi stood
up and walked around... a little stiff at first but then freer and freer. After 10
minutes of praying together, she was getting up and down with no pain! Ten
minutes after Suzie left, the swelling in her knees "deflated" and she
actually felt good! Praise God!

DELIVERANCES
Alexandra (15 years old) was heavily involved in Satanism, gave her
life to Jesus and was delivered of many nasty demons.
Monica (20 years old) meets with Suzie weekly for counseling. A Baptist, she came to
Antioch Christian Center at Suzie's invitation to hear a message about self deliverance.
For her, everything was new and strange; she was uncomfortable, but sat through the
message. She caught a hold of the truth, went home and asked her Baptist mom to pray
for her against a spirit of fear. Suddenly Monica had to cough and clear her throat
repeatedly (deliverance) . She said she felt like something gathered up in her throat and
then left as her mom prayed. Then she felt such peace that lasted several days.
MONEY MIRACLES
Dorica (21 years old) sings with our worship team. She was completely
out of money. But she prayed asking God to provide 200,000 lei (about
$6) so that she could buy some groceries.for herself and her brother.
Moments later, she found that exact amount in her previously empty
wallet. On another occasion, she didn't even have money for a bus ticket
and she was across town. She appealed to her Good Father. A few
minutes later she found that a bus ticket had appeared in her pocket. God
is really a very practical help in times of need!
Cosmin comes from Deva to go to university here in Cluj. One day after getting a bite to
eat at a restaurant, he reached in his pocket to pull out his 200,000 lei ($6)/ Much to his
pleasant surprise, he saw in his hand not 200,000 but 1,200,000 lei! God creat ed $30 in
his pocket!
Irina (18 years old) regularly attends our church though she has not yet
given her life to Jesus. Knowing she had no money, she was shocked to
find 100.000 lei ($3) in her wallet. She has no explanation, except God. She
was so shocked that days later she still couldn’t fully comprehend what had
happened to her!
OTHER SPECIAL MIRACLES
Romania experienced rain all summer, half of the country was effected by flooding. A
few days before camp there was rain, flooding and landslides in the area of the camp
facility. But we prayed. The week of the camp was absolutely dry and full of sunshine!
One day it clouded up and looked like a downpour. We prayed again and the clouds
literally parted. There were thick clouds over the mountains to the left and right, but
directly overhead, sunshine!

It usually takes Alex (17 years old) around 30 minutes to get to school by bus, but on one
particular morning, traffic was heavy and he expected the bus would take at least 40
minutes. Leaving his house at 7:50, he was stressed knowing he was supposed to be at
school at 8:00. So Alex prayed that God would help him to get to school on time, and he
got there right at 8:00. A 40 minute trip took 10 minutes!
Ale x, (same as above ) though radically changed, still struggles with
smoking. One night, the enemy attacked and Alex felt that he was
about to die for a cigarette. He went to an unopened, sealed packet
that he had hidden away. In this moment of weakness, God came to
his aide. Opening the sealed packet of cigarettes, Alex was shocked
to find the packet completely empty!
A broken CD walkman was "healed" when two camp staff members prayed for it!
Andreea (20 years old) received an SMS (message on her mobile phone)
from her roommate, "Pray for me right now. I really need it!" So Andreea
prayed and then called Faith (17 years old), to see what was going on.
Faith was surprised with Andreea asking about why she needed prayer.
Faith HAD written an SMS, but it was an entirely different message
asking Andreea what time she was coming home. As Andreea and Faith
compared what had happened, Faith admitted that she had been feeling
sicker and sicker, when she wrote the SMS. God called Andreea to prayer,
"translating" Faith's message. Faith suddenly started feeling better as a result of Andreea's
prayers
