When Bo* became a believer, God gave him a burden to start a church in his Southeast Asian town. The local police captain heard about Bo’s desire and ridiculed him without mercy.
"If you believe in God, then let Him prove He is real. We have a hospital full of sick people. Heal them and I will let you start a church."
Bo didn't know what to do. So he prayed … asking God to work miracles. Then he went to visit the hospital.
The first person he saw was a woman lying in bed who looked like a skeleton with skin. Bo asked the nurse what was wrong with her and learned that the woman was infected with cancer and near death.
Bo went and laid his hands on her and began to pray for her healing.
The woman opened her eyes and smiled as God worked a miracle through Bo. That day she was not only healed of stage four cancer, she became a follower of Jesus! When the local police captain saw what had happened to this woman, he gave Bo permission to start a new church.
Since then, Bo has completed evangelism and church planting training with East-West missionaries and is armed with the tools needed multiply new believers and new churches.
