Greater Power

Missionaries Einer and Girlesa Zuluaga have seen God perform miracles as they serve among the Wounaan and Embera people in Panama. As they have prayed and trusted in Him, God has used them to demonstrate that His power is far greater than any of the witchcraft that is prevalent in this area of the world.

One day, Einer & Girlesa arrived at a village where there was a very sick woman lying on the ground. She couldn’t stand up because her legs were swollen, so she had been laying there for many days. The villagers had attempted to heal her by performing some witchcraft on her, but they had been unable to improve her condition.

The villagers called to Einer to come over to the sick woman. Einer & Girlesa prayed over this woman and asked God to bring healing to her body. When they finished praying, they felt confident that God had answered their prayers so Einer told the woman, “Get up, go have a bath, and eat!”

The woman stood up – she was healed! She obeyed Einer’s instructions, and an hour later she was attending a church service in the village. This miracle showed the people in this village that God is far more powerful than any of their witchcraft.

Einer & Girlesa recognize that this miracle was not a result of their own power – it was God who restored this woman to full health! God is using His followers to reveal His power to people all over the world. Pray for Einer & Girlesa as they share the message of Jesus with the Wounaan and Embera people.

“And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us.”   1 John 5:14
