"With simplicity, the two Algerian Christians laid their hands on Mohand and prayed for healing in the name of Jesus. At the precise moment of their prayer, Mohand sensed that his fever was gone. He felt great!..." –God Reports

(Algeria)—In an exciting account posted on the God Reports blog recently, the love of Jesus Christ shared by a group of Algerian Christians resulted in a miraculous healing and the salvation of over two dozen Muslims.

The story begins with a Muslim young man named Mohand, who—after his father died early on—had blamed "Allah" and nurtured a bitterness toward him in his heart. (Photo: Kabyle-Berber village/God Reports)

Mohand was an enthusiastic soccer player for his local village's team, and during a weekend playoff, his and several other village teams were camped near the soccer field for the event.

Unbeknownst to the soccer players and Mohand, a group of Christians from Algiers had—at the same time—planned a spiritual retreat in the same area. They ended up in close proximity to the teams.

Mohand was curious about the mix of the Christian group having both Berbers and Arabs, and how they could fellowship together.

Mohand agreed to let them pray for him thinking it would be a "good chance to put the Christian God to the test."

When they laid hands on him and prayed in Jesus' name, his fever suddenly left, and he was able to re-join his team on the field.
