Healing on the Job

Biruks colleague was healed

Biruk is one of our disciples since a year back. He works as a waiter in one of the hotels in Dire Dawa. From the first day he has been preaching to colleagues and managers at his job. At first no one was positive. Everyone ignored him.

One Friday night he had to work late. He fell asleep sitting on a chair. After a few hours he woke up because someone was coughing and was suffocating. One of his colleagues was on the floor and next to her was an empty bottle of chlorine.

Biruk and two of his colleagues tried to help her in different ways, but she only got worse. She was unconscious, had high fever and saliva around her mouth.
- You have to pray for her! one of his colleagues shouted, if someoe can help her it is your God.

He prayed several times, and after each time his colleagues shouted;
- You have to pray more!
He prayed that God would do a miracle and transform the young woman's life, and was thanking God for the miracle that was about to happen.

God made a miracle! The fever went down and she was now conscious. The next day she was much happier. Biruk now continues to preach and witness to her.
