JNI 647 - A recent miracle in the neighborhood of Iris Ministries' Pemba Base in Mozambique has made Jesus the increasing focus of people's attention.

A widow in the area had been ill for several weeks. When her condition suddenly turned worse, her five children and a number of believers gathered at her house and prayed through the night. Around 4 am she died. While the children began to prepare for her burial, the believers - led by one of Iris Ministries' construction leaders, Mossa Calisto - continued to pray.

A couple of hours later, the woman opened her eyes and sat up. She told them she had been with Jesus and he had given her an hour to return to earth to settle her affairs and make provision for her children. She busied herself with these things, and then she asked the people to leave the room, closed the door and died again! This account has been widely circulated and many people are asking to know more about Jesus.
