Non Christian Biologist Gets Saved!

My testimony Naira Patrícia Oliveira Freitas Cassilândia-MS I went to a church youth camp during carnival. I preferred going to a party, but I went to join my boyfriend (part of the band). During the camp we had allot of free time, music and dance. But still I thought it was very boring. There was an invited speaker, a missionary called Bram, who shared about God during the service times. He shared about his life experiences, about how he lived without and later with God. Everything he did even the strength demonstration impressed me but didn’t touch my heart. But during free time I got the chance to talk with Bram. Because I am a biologist I was interested to hear his thoughts about the evolution theory of Darwin, because he said he had worked with gorillas. Bram, very simple and wise, showed through science how there is only one God and that He created everything. Did didn’t convince me totally but I could not stop think about it. On the last day of the camp there was a time of prayer in which all the youth joined to sing songs, the missionary would then pray for us. I had my eyes closed and all of a sudden my body started to tremble, my legs started to shake and I almost fell on the floor. My hands started to burn as if they got on fire; I started to cry and had no idea what was happening. Then I heard Bram’s voice; he was praying another person in front of me. My legs started shaking worse and to not fall over I started to walk backwards. Another person came behind me and helped me to sit down. The person called me by my name but it took a while before I could respond. I sat there for a while looking at the youth and children jumping, screaming, crying, speaking in weird languages and rolling around on the floor. Till then all that was absurd but now it started to become real to me. I closed my eyes again and then I felt somebody put a hand on my shoulder, it was Bram and he asked me if he was allowed to pray for me. I allowed him and he started to say things that touched me deep in my heart. When we came back in the city I heard Bram was going to speak in the church. Even though it is not normal for me to go to church, especially on a Wednesday, I really wanted to go. After Bram shared he asked if some of the young people from the camp wanted to share about how it went. I knew that that opportunity was for me. I went and shared about the experience I had with the Holy Spirit, I cried, but knew I had to share about this wonder of God. The youth then was called to the front to pray for the sick; I went and prayed for a friend of mine. After that I went to sit down again and started to talk with God. I felt my body tremble and my hands get on fire again, I stayed like that even until after the service. My friends and boyfriend called me by name but I couldn’t respond. Later I would be able to respond but my hands would not stop to shake, I went home like that and my hands stopped shaking around midnight. The friend I prayed for I later discovered had a headache. The headache stopped after I prayed for her and she went home with her body trembling. Today I know even though I wasn’t baptized in water, I was baptized in the Holy Spirit and can confirm that that is the best feeling a person can have.
