Two Miracles in One

For fifteen years Rosita Rodrigues, age 67, suffered from sickness, leaving her crippled and unable to walk. Her son, a leader in a Jesus Film team in Ecuador, moved her into his house to take care of her. When he shared the gospel with her, she refused to listen and moved in with another relative. It bothered Rosita that her son was baptized in and was attending an evangelical church, leaving his childhood traditions.

One day, he called his mother to see how she was doing. She was in poor health and unable to leave her bed. Rosita said to him, “Son, please help me with a little money to purchase some medicines that I need.” He responded, “Sorry, Mom, I don’t have any money, but I can pray that God will heal you.” She consented to pray. After the prayer, he asked his mother if she would like to accept Jesus. She said “yes.” When Sunday arrived Rosita walked to church, thanking God for the miracle of salvation and the ability to walk again.

Today Rosita helps her son with the Jesus Film ministry. Four of her seven children have received Christ. She enjoys sharing with everyone the miracle-working power of God in her life.
