Elwood Engle Testimony

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

My wife and I have just recently moved to central Wisconsin from Texas. We settled in a very cute small town.

My wife started to get a little bored in this small town and wanted to get a little job to soak up some of her time. So she was hired to deliver meals to the elderly inches area.

On her route she met Elwood Engle and his wife of 67 years! A beautiful elderly couple who had a wonderful testimony about one of their sons.

About 47 years ago, their son was a talented high school athlete. But one day his left leg started to hurt. The pain would not go away. So, they took him to the hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to be examined. 

After many tests were completed, the doctor came out and spoke in a low, but serious voice. He said, "your son has terminal stage four bone cancer, you need to plan his funeral!"

They were all just devastated! But when all seems lost, that's the best time to go to the Lord! They prayed Isaiah 53:1-5 twice a day. Then they got some fellow church members to pray with them. In short order they had Christians in eight states praying for their son.

When they next went to the hospital for more tests, the report was that all of the cancer was miraculously gone! All of the tests were clear of the disease!

All of the doctors and hospital staff were amazed when it was revealed that hundreds of people in eight states had prayed for this young man, and the Lord healed him.

To build up his strength they had him ride a stationary bike. Then a real bike, with some of the hospital staff following with him. In this whole time of healing and physical therapy, many were convicted and gave their hearts to Jesus.

Lung Cancer Healed!

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is an article from an unknown author that I wanted to share.

Text: Isaiah 53:5; James 5:16

 In 1953 in Grimes, Iowa, Violet Cross was getting sicker by the day! Finally her eldest son Frank insisted she go to the doctor. Eventually they ended up at the large teaching hospital in Iowa City. The diagnosis was devastating. Though Violet had never smoked she was dying of lung cancer. One lung was already gone the other was rapidly being devoured by the malignancy. The doctors sent her home offering no real hope, six months of pain would ultimately lead to her death.

That Sunday violet went down to kneel at the altar at the tiny church pastored by her son-in-law, Clarence Lautt. There in Grimes Gospel Center she begged God for one thing. Her two youngest daughters, Kay and Linda were still in high school. "Please God," she prayed, "Let me see my girls finish high school."

Her husband Eddie bought her the engagement ring that he hadn’t had the money to buy 30 years earlier, expecting that to be one of his final acts of love toward her. But Violet started feeling better. Kay graduated from high school, and her mom was back on the farm doing chores again. Linda graduated from high-school. Both girls married. Grandchildren were born. In fact, 18 grandchildren were there to help celebrate Violet and Eddie’s 50th wedding anniversary.

In 1976 Violet came to live at my house after my grandfather Eddie passed away. When I was 12 years old, 38 years after the doctors had given her 6 months to live, Grandma Cross’s two healthy lungs breathed their last.

Sometimes God performs miracles simply because he loves us and he has compassion on His children.
