Kurdish Woman Healed of Migraines

Ruben Reyes, a graduate of the Wellspring School of Ministry was studying recently in Pennsylvania when a young Kurdish friend from Ruben's apartment complex approached him. In halting english he explained that his mother was suffering from terrible migraine headaches. Would Ruben come and pray for her?

Ruben came to the house at the appointed time. In the living room, one of the older brothers mocked him saying "Oh, I want you to heal me, too". Ruben asked to be alone with his friend and the mom. When they were seated together in another room he asked her what she wanted. "I just HAVE to get rid of these headaches" was her reply.

"I respect that you're a muslim" Ruben said. "And I'm going to pray for you. Do you understand that when I pray for you I will use the Name of Jesus?" he asked. She held her head and nodded that she understood.

Before he started to pray for her, Ruben asked permission to know a little more. "Do you have a migraine now?" Yes she did.

"Can you tell me how long you have had these headaches?"

"Six years I have had them" she replied.

"What happened six years ago?" Ruben inquired.

Her answer was that late one day six years earlier, her husband rushed home greatly agitated. He told her that they had to leave their town immediately. When she asked why he told her that he and their sons had been targeted. They would not live more than a few days. "We have to leave NOW!" he insisted.

She called her mother and told her the news. "Why are you leaving?" her mother asked. "We're perfectly safe here."

Knowing that her mother needed her and that her four sons needed her caused a deep conflict in her mind. She yielded to her husband and that night they fled with their sons and little else..

Eventually, their new home was in the US and, providentially they settled near Mechanicsburg where Ruben and Bonnie lived.

About six months after finding their new life in the US, one of her best friends located them and phoned from northern Iraq. It was like talking to a long-lost sister! As the conversation progressed her friend remarked "I'm so sorry about your loss."

"What are you talking about? I haven't lost anything" she replied.
