This past summer, Ming Peng (VMC pastor and Director of the Chinese Church Association) was on his way to Pearson International Airport to catch a flight to China.
As he was rushing out of the car and grabbing his luggage, he twisted and hurt his back.
The pain that fired through his body!
It reminded him of the time several years ago when he did the same thing and ended up on his bed for 7 days.
This was not the best way to begin a long trip.
When he got settled into his seat on the airplane, he opened his Bible to Mark 10:46-52 and read the story of Bartimaeus.
He thought about the question that Jesus asks Bartimaeus –
what do you me to do for you?
Ming Peng knew what he wanted Jesus to do for him – he wanted his back to feel right again!
Trusting that God would meet all his needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus, he prayed for the back pain to disappear.
He prayed for 20 hours –
until the plane touched down in Beijing.
As he got ready to deplane, Ming Peng felt the muscles in his back relax and he could move freely.
He texted his wife – the Lord has healed me.
Praise God.
