This story was related to me via e-mail. I believe to be a true story and one worthy of praise and honor to our Father in Heaven.

This happened in Fort Payne, Alabama, in early 1999. There is a family that lives in Fort Payne. Their little boy, 6, has a tumor in his brain that is very rare and without treatment will kill him. The only doctor in the world that has experience in treating this form of cancer lives in Asia. The family, their friends, their church all prayed for God's compassion as this little boy grew sicker and sicker. The family could not afford to take the boy to the Orient for the surgery. As a matter of fact, they couldn't afford the surgery even if the doctor resided in the United States. The prayers asked God to prevent him from suffering as he died from this tumor.

The Father of the family works at a local Ford dealership, selling cars and trucks. In early February, a very nicely dressed man stopped at the car lot. The Father went up to the man and began to talk to him. The customer said that he didn't really need a car. He just wanted to stop and look.. Actually, he said, he wasn't really sure why he had even stopped. The Salesman suggested they go into his office and talk while they looked over brochures. As they sat down, the Father introduced himself to the customer. The customer's last name was the very same last name of the doctor in Far East that could operate on the little boy. The Salesman felt something rise in him. He couldn't believe that there in his office was someone with the very same name as the doctor. Maybe it was a family member, the doctor's brother. Maybe he could arrange for the doctor to help his son. Before he could stop himself he fell to his knees and began weeping

The rest of the staff of the Ford dealership began gathering around to see what was happening. The customer sat there in shock to the reaction he had gotten to merely saying his name. As the story was told about the little boy, the customer began to understand.

You see, the customer was not a family member of the doctor. He was the doctor. He was moving from the Orient to practice medicine in the United States. Actually at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, which is only 2 hours from our little town. He promised that as soon as he completes his move from the Far East to the University, that he would perform the surgery on the little boy, at no charge.

Now. Why would a man from Asia, that is a very successful, wealthy doctor moving to Birmingham, Alabama, stop at a Ford dealership in Fort Payne, Alabama? There is only one reason. The only reason because God ordained it.

Praise the Lord. Our God is a gracious God!!

Our God Still Moves in this World.

Our God, the Living God, still is concerned about people. He still answers prayer and He still provides miracles to His people. Not because we are worthy or because of what we have done. It is because of His nature. He is a loving and gracious God who still pours out blessings on those who seek Him.

Do you have a need? Just go to the Lord in your own way. It doesn't take a special prayer, it doesn't require you being in some special place or having some special person pray with you, all it takes is simply asking! I am praying with you, with everyone who reads this story and these lines that God will grant you the very thing you need. I believe He will do it!
