Pastor Abdalla Haron Sulieman gathered his small church in El Hasahisa, Sudan, to pray for his mother. Aisha Adam was sixty, and a leg infection had worn her down. They prayed, and she recovered. What looked like a private family mercy did not stay private for long.
Word of the healing moved through the town, which is mostly Muslim. And people started showing up at the church. Not to argue. To ask if the God who healed Aisha might heal them too.
When a healing becomes a door That is exactly the kind of thing that makes some people afraid. Local extremists pressed the police to arrest Sulieman, and they did, charging him under an old law with claiming to be a witch doctor, as if the love of Jesus were a kind of sorcery. Believers across Sudan shared his name and called for his release. "This is a serious violation against Christians in Sudan," said one, an evangelist named Francis Ismail.
But notice what the fear could not undo. A mother was well. A Muslim town had seen the name of Jesus do something real, and neighbours who had never entered a church walked in looking for Him.
God still heals, and He still uses one ordinary answered prayer to open a door no one can shut. He can open one where you are too.
