This chain of events started with pain leaving my foot through Nate's prayer. No skeptic's argument can touch the fact that I was limping before prayer but walking without pain after! By extension I submit that the personal experiences by the people in these described events have impacted them in a way that prompts them to seek The Holy Spirit's impact into their loved one's lives as well. All Glory to our Lord of miracles!
John 9:25-27
He answered, “Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” They said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” He answered them, “I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?”
