Mr. Ning was dying of cancer. Lying limply in his hospital bed, he listened intently as a friend and I talked of the love of Jesus and read him accounts of others' faith. He then asked Jesus to come into his heart, sobbing and pausing between sentences as he prayed with us. Inspired by all that we had told him and read to him, he asked us to pray for his healing.

"Mr. Ning, we're so glad you want us to pray for you," I said, "because we believe the Lord wants to heal you!"

And so I prayed, "Dear Jesus, we know that You healed many people when You were on Earth, and that You are just the same today as You were then! Your Word says, 'I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds' (Jeremiah 30:17), so we believe Your Word and we ask You to touch dear Mr. Ning with Your healing power. Please heal him, Lord! We know You can do it and we believe You want to do it, so we thank You for answering our prayers. Amen."

To the amazement of his family and the doctors, the next day Mr. Ning was up and around! A new batch of medical examinations and tests showed no trace of cancer. Now he's back home-happy, healthy and a living testimony of the power of prayer and God's healing hand!
