Ajad Ansary’s little girl had been ill from birth. He and his wife were constantly worried about her. Despite countless trips to doctors, her health did not improve.
One day Ajad and his wife were especially concerned. “Who can cure our child? She is very sick and about to die.”
Confused and sad, they sat on their veranda. When I came to visit and ask about their welfare, Ajad poured out his sorrows and sadness.
Touched by their situation, I told them about the greatest physician and asked them to believe in Jesus. He could restore their child’s health.
“But we worship Mohammad!” Ajad cried. “How can we change our religion? I am afraid to change.”
“Put your faith in the living Lord Jesus,” I told him. “Jesus loves you, your wife and your daughter. He knows your situation and will help your family.”
Ajad and one of his friends started to take Bible studies every day for two hours and learned to read the Bible. Ajad told his parents about this truth, but they would not listen at first. Slowly they too agreed to follow the teachings and to trust in Jesus.
But the little girl continued to suffer with no change in her condition.
“You have visited so many doctors and spirit healers, but none could cure her,” I reminded Ajad. “She needs a stronger doctor to cure her, and that is Jesus.”
I told them that He is the only solution to all our problems. I helped the family understand more about the Bible. I read John 14:6 to them and told them we need to understand that Jesus is the way through all our troubles.
“Your child can be healed,” I explained. “Jesus healed the leper, the blind and the lame. Even more than that, He cast out demons. And He will definitely heal your child.”
I asked the mother to read John 11:25: “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live.”
She was happy and said, “So soothing and comforting are these words from the Bible.”
She asked if I believed the Bible and trusted Jesus. I said, “Yes, that is why I am telling you to trust in God too.”
The Bible studies continued for weeks as the family’s faith increased. Miraculously, the little girl’s health began to improve.
Seeing this incredible change has made many relatives curious. Now they want to know about this truth. “Who is the doctor who cured such a sick child?” they ask.
My answer: “The one true God.”
