saints of old, and that may be one reason why we do not see the gift of miracles as much in evidence today as it was back then. A Possible Exception If there is anyone I have ever met who may have possessed the gift of the working of miracles, it was a simple native woman from New Guinea. She lives in the jungle and leads a very simple life. As I sat on the grass and heard of the things God had done in and through her life, my heart burned. Quite an astounding testimony was given of how God had used her to do one miracle after another - marvelous things, such as the raising of the dead and the opening of blind eyes. All were confirmed to us by the local missionary. God used her to start a school, which I visited. She herself had never attended school, but she started one because the Lord directed her to. I saw hundreds of students being trained there, all because of a simple woman who sat on the grass nursing her baby, and told me about the things God was doing through her life. That woman has the advantage of not living in a society so filled with stimuli that her mind has no time to meditate deeply on God. I was amazed. I thought, Oh God, I wish I could share this with the world. I've earnestly wanted to return to the jungle and take with me a TV camera so I could film her whole story. If ever I have met anyone who had the gift of working miracles, it was this simple native.
