The Prodigal Sister Returns!

Martina Vera, now 42 years old, rebelled and left her home when she was 19. Over the years her family searched for her without success. Many thought she had died. Twenty-five years later, her sister, Ana, received Jesus as her Savior. Ana had faith that her sister wasn’t dead. For nearly a year Ana prayed about the status and location of her sister.

Loreto Church of the Nazarene, located in the jungle of Ecuador, had shown the Jesus Film on different occasions. One evening Ana went to the Jesus Film showing without knowing that in the audience was her long lost sister! That night two miracles occurred—Ana found her sister and Martina accepted Christ as her Savior. Everyone at the showing noticed the happiness between the two. Since that day, Ana has been discipling her sister. Both give thanks to God and the Jesus Film ministry for the miracle of bringing them back together after twenty five years.
