The Largest Campaign in the History of Egypt
August 2002
"The Merging of Christ's Compassion and Power to Reach the Lost"
Documented Miracles
Teammate Joshua Chen is an engineer who serves at Houston Chinese Church, the largest Chinese evangelical church in Houston. Just a few days earlier, before the Campaign began, he attended our Healing Encounter where workers were trained how to minister healing to the sick as confirmation of the gospel.
At our medical clinic after the Campaign began, he prayed over a woman who had been totally blind in her left eye for five years. The Lord restored her sight in the blind eye. At the Tent Meeting the next day, she gave her testimony to the delight of the large crowd. Never before had such a thing happened. Corroborating her testimony was a neighbor, a Campus Crusade worker named Mirvet, who confirmed that she had indeed been blind in that eye.
In a separate interview videotaped a few days after the miracle, she said that she was now able to see clearly through her left eye. She had gone to her eye doctor. After examining the blind eye he discovered that it was perfectly fine and functioning because apparently someone very
skilled had performed an operation on the eye. When he asked her who had done it, she told him that it was God! (When the doctor examined her other eye that was supposed to be good, he wrote her a prescription to buy some eye drops for it.)
Basma, a twenty-something-year-old committed believer in Christ Jesus, had been stricken by crippling polio as a very young child. She could walk only with the help of a heavy brace attached to her leg and bulky shoes specially fitted for her disfigured feet, in addition to a cane. For some reason, she believed that healing her was the one miracle that the Lord could not do.
Outside the Prayer Room after one of our morning Tent Crusade meetings, team members Billy Burton, Jennifer Campbell, Brenda Powell, and Deborah Wallace laid hands on her, rebuking the polio in the name of Jesus Christ. Before their very eyes the power of the Lord began to straighten her twisted foot. She removed the heavy leg brace and special shoes and walked without them for the first time in many years. Brenda, who had purchased a new pair of sneakers before leaving on the trip at the leading of the Holy Spirit, gave Basma her new shoes to wear. They fit her exactly! The next day, walking in her new regular shoes aided by her cane only, Basma came to the Tent Meeting to testify with great joy and excitement before the thousands of amazed Egyptians. She's trusting the Lord for her complete healing. God is great! For more details, see Basma.
Several instances of deaf and hearing-impaired people were witnessed. They came forward and testified, sometimes removing their hearing-aids for everyone to see if they had been wearing them. Some were healed in the Tent through the ministry of mass healing, while others were healed in the Prayer Room through individual ministry. The Lord used a 17-year-old Egyptian girl named Haidy to open the ears of a deaf woman.
The young woman at right was healed of deafness in a Tent Meeting.
A gentleman was prayed over for painful stones which had formed in his kidney. The next day he came forward at the Tent Meeting bringing in a napkin two stones which had come out in the night in the name of Jesus! An Egyptian physician present at the meeting examined the stones.
Man Deaf from Youth Hears Clearly
Mark 2:1 And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. 2 Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them. 3 Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men. 4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.

Donna Elms wrote:
"I am reminded of the scripture above where the paralytic was brought
to Jesus by his friends. While I was in El Minia, a man ( who I will refer
to as the friend for this account) approached me who could speak very
good English and ask me to pray for a deaf man. . The man had not been
able to hear from his youth. These two men had been friends all their
life. At the time the friend asked me to pray we were on our way to the
tent so I instructed the friend and the deaf man to attend the crusade
meeting and if the deaf man was not healed in the meeting, he could bring
the deaf man to the prayer hall and that I would pray for the deaf man
after the crusade meeting.
When I returned to the prayer hall later, the first person in the prayer
line was the friend who approached me before the meeting on behalf of
the deaf man and his wife. In speaking with the friend I found out that
the deaf man could read lips very well. (I first gave some instructions
to the friend and told him that after I ministered to the deaf man in
the name of Jesus, I wanted the friend to talk to the deaf man, but to
be in a place where the deaf man could not read his lips. So the friend
stood behind the man who was deaf. The friend would speak something to
him in Arabic but the deaf man could not see or read his friend's lips.
I used this as a hearing test to determine the improvement in his hearing.)
I placed my fingers in the deaf man's ears like Jesus did in Mark 7:31
and 32, and commanded the ears to be opened. The first time I spoke to
the deafness he could hear sounds in the room. After each time I commanded
the ears to be opened, the deaf man could hear with a greater clarity.
After I commanded 4 or 5 times for the ears to be opened in Christ's name,
his hearing was fully restored. He could hear his friend call his name
and speak to him plainly from about 14 ft away even with all the noise
in the room. Now the man is no longer the deaf man but now he is healed
through the power of the Name of Jesus. Praise the Lord! Thank you, Jesus,
that you are still working miracles in the earth in 2002."
