An ancient woman who lived in the landfill heard there were Americans visiting the dump village. Soon, they would be walking by her hut. Blind and unable to walk, she waited in her two room shack (8x8). She heard the rustling of footsteps in palm leaves. She summoned the Americans with fleeting strength in her voice. Her gray hair stood straight up on her head making her appear even more menacing than the rumors. In spite of her emaciation and helplessness, the Filipino villagers shuddered at her hut's stoop. She is a seer, and a witch Doctor of astonishing power. It was believed by the villagers that the sooner she died, the better. Her son's Mangkukulam powers seemed weaker. And now, here are the Americans at her door. Delaine Wooden moved to her side. In a compassionate gesture Delaine kneels and holds the old woman's hand. The old woman is no longer a Witch Doctor, she is just another lost, hurting, broken person in need. Delaine, unschooled and ill prepared for a power encounter, brings God's powerful touch. A sense of peace permeates the room. Through the fourteen year old interpreter Hannah Christine Fuertes, the old woman shares with them a vision she had at 4:30 that morning. There was a person in her hut in a long dress. She could not figure out who it was, but she knew that if she could just touch the dress, she would be healed. But she couldn't reach the person or the dress." The Americans prayed, creating a phalanx of spiritual protection. Delaine tightened her grip on the woman's hand and said, "Jesus came to visit you. He is the one in the robe." Visible goosebumps came to the woman's arms and the one who had always been known as the Witch Doctor received her new Identity in Christ...Katarina

A racing heart alerts cyclist Andrew Peters to something wrong with his health, but what? Just a few hours in the ER in Indiana turns his life on its head. A seemingly healthy, young, vibrant man, Peters is suddenly staring death down the barrel of a brain tumor. Ominously, he is told by the physician, "If it is what I think it is, I can buy you time, but I can't buy you life."

It was Easter Sunday and he hadn't even gone to church. How do you talk to God now when just hours earlier you ignored Him?

In a series of God moments and miracles, God reaches out to Andrew and let's him know He has something to say to him in Six Weeks in Rochester.

A midlife crisis motorcycle purchase in the hands of a novice rider turns into a comedy of errors and nearly a death wish. Catch this humorous story that lightens the mood on this tension filled election day.

This week we drop two stories together.

The first is a personal follow-up to Brent's story of hitting rock bottom in a fishing incident. My story tells of a rafting trip that looked like it might end very badly. I was violently thrown from the raft while surfing the "Washing Machine" on the Gulley in West Virginia. I realized at one point my next breath would be to breathe in water and that would be my last.

The second story is the the story of a wedding with a strange twist. Shane and Melissa find out the true definition of one flesh in the most unexpected place. A friendship forged on the baseball diamond survives the depths of disability. Grab a Kleenex. This story first appeared in "Chicken Soup for the Bride's Soul."

What started as a fishing trip with his 8yr old son turns into a battle of life and death with the river in Pennsylvania. Brent Henderson of Unleashed Podcast joins us to share a dramatic story of near death as he challenges a river with his son. He helps us identify elements that create great stories and how to communicate them. In the podcast he also shares the transformation it made in he and his son.

We hope you will all join us soon!
