Have you ever felt the urge to pray for someone and then just put it on a 
list and said, 'I'll pray for them later?' 
Or has anyone ever called you and said, 'I need you to pray for me, I have 
this need?' 
Read the following story that was sent to me and may it change the way that 
you may think about prayer and also the way you pray. 
You will be blessed by this. 
A missionary on furlough told this true story while visiting his home church 
in Michigan . 
'While serving at a small field hospital in Africa , every two weeks I 
traveled by bicycle through the jungle to a nearby city for supplies. This was a 
journey of two days and required camping overnight at the halfway point. 
On one of these journeys, I arrived in the city, collected money from a 
bank, purchased medicine, and supplies, and then began my two-day journey back to 
the field hospital. 
While leaving the city, I observed two men fighting, one of whom had been 
seriously injured. I treated him for his injuries and at the same time talked 
to him about the Lord. 
I then traveled two days, camping overnight, and arrived home without 
incident. 
Two weeks later I repeated my journey. 
Upon arriving in the city, I was approached by the young man I had treated. 
He told me that he had known I carried money and medicines. He said, 'Some 
friends and I followed you into the jungle, knowing you would camp overnight. 
We planned to kill you and take your money and drugs. 
But just as we were about to move into your camp, we saw that you were 
surrounded by 26 armed guards. 
At this, I laughed and said that I was certainly all alone in that jungle 
camp site. 
The young man pressed the point, however, and said, 'No, sir, I was not the 
only person to see the guards, my friends also saw them, and we all counted 
them. It was because of those guards that we were afraid and left you alone. 
At this point in the sermon, one of the men in the congregation jumped to 
his feet and interrupted the missionary and asked if he could tell him the 
exact day this happened. 
The missionary told the congregation the date, and the man who interrupted 
told him this story: 
'On the night of your incident in Africa , it was morning here and I was 
preparing to go play golf. I was about to putt when I felt the urge to pray 
for you. In fact, the urging of the Lord was so strong, I called men in this 
church to meet with me here in the sanctuary to pray for you. Would all of 
those men who met with me on that day stand up?' 
The men who had met together to pray that day stood up. The missionary 
wasn't concerned with who they were, he was too busy counting how many men he saw. 

There were 26. 
This story is an incredible example of how the Spirit of the Lord moves in 
mysterious ways. If you ever hear such prodding, go along with it. 
Nothing is ever hurt by prayer except the gates of hell. I encourage you to 
forward this to as many people as you know. 
If we all take it to heart, we can turn this world toward God once again. As 
the above true story clearly illustrates, 'with God all things are 
possible.' 
More importantly, how God hears and answers the prayers of the faithful. 
After you read this, please pass it on and give God thanks for the beautiful 
gift of your faith, for the powerful gift of prayer, and for the many mira
cles He works in your own daily life... and then pass it on. Who says God does 
not work in mysterious ways? 
Why don't we just pray and see?
