A Latin America Miracle



I was the interpreter for the prayer group within our group. A man came up to me and told me that he was in a lot of pain, and I asked what it was and he said that it was hit foot. He pointed to the area of his foot that was in pain. I told him that I was going to pray for his foot and he nodded. I bent down and touched his foot and said, "In the name of Jesus there is no pain".
I was still praying, and he kept talking to me. I kind of ignored it and kept praying. I realized that he was saying "It doesn't hurt anymore, but I really did have pain. It's supposed to be there. I don't understand it, I've had pain for a while and it doesn't leave. It's supposed to be there". He started stomping his foot with a confused look on his face. I didn't realize what had happened. 
I stood up and asked him if he knew who Jesus was, and he said "no." So I told him about the cross and sin and all that stuff. I asked if he would like to receive this salvation and he said yes. I asked him to give me his hand so we could pray. He shook my hand, and I bowed my head to pray. Then he walked away stomping his foot along the way with a startled look on his face.
While I stood there confused someone from the church came up to me and asked how I was speaking to that man. I stated that I wasn't exactly sure what had just happened. That person informed that the man was deaf and he could only read lips. So every time I bent my head down to pray he didn't realize what was going on. I'm just praying that he remembers where his foot got healed and he comes back to get his hearing too, and receives Christ there.
