When Jesus returned to him yet AGAIN in another tragedy, the man began secretly attending an underground church.

Al-Jamali, a former Muslim living in the Middle East, shared his miraculous story with Bibles for Mideast, an underground Christian ministry that distributes Bibles and conducts evangelism in Asia, South Africa and the Middle East.
In 2004, Al-Jamali visited Kanyakumari, the cape of South India, along with a close friend. While at the beach one day, tsunami waves, generated by the massive magnitude 9.3 undersea earthquake off the coast of Banda Aceh, northern Sumatra, hit the shore.
"We saw them coming, but not thinking they would affect us on land, I made an effort to take photos," he recalled. "Within seconds the waves battered the shore, wiping out everything. Thousands of people died."
Al-Jamali and his friend were trapped in the waves, and the strong undercurrent pulled them under.
"Suddenly, I felt a strong and mighty Man pick me up in His hands," he said. "I really felt like a baby being carried by its mother. I could see blood stains on the Man's hands."
The Man told him, "I am the Resurrection and the Life. Those who believe in Me will live, even though they die; and those who live and believe in Me will never die." He then carried Al-Jamali to the shore, completely unharmed. Unfortunately, his friend was never found.
"Hundreds of the bodies could not be identified," Al-Jamali recalled. "While I watched, government authorities gathered them all up, poured gasoline over them, and set them alight. Certainly my friend would have been among them. If God had not saved me, I too would have been burned." (Photo: AP/Dita Alangkara/via The Atlantic)
Eleven years later on the same day, Al-Jamali, now back in the Middle East and married to two different women, was driving his car along with one of his wives when he got in a terrible car accident. While his wife died from her injuries, Al-Jamali miraculously survived.
"But I felt the same thing I had back on the day of the tsunami," he said. "A strong, mighty Man held me, carrying me like a baby in the arms of its mother. I saw the same blood stains on His hands and realized He was the same Man who had rescued me from the tsunami."
That night in the hospital, the Man who had saved him from both the tsunami and accident visited Al-Jamali...
