When I was in Chiang Mai in 1987, John Jaffe and I were riding a taxi on the way to a park where Stuart Gramenz and the local Hope of Asia church had organized an outreach activity for our team. On the way, we witnessed to the taxi driver.
John and I told him that when God first created the world, everything was good; and that sickness and death entered the world through sin; but God's gift is eternal life through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
John received a word of knowledge that the taxi driver had a back problem. The driver stopped the taxi, and let us hold out his legs, and we commanded healing in Jesus' Name. I remember the look of joy that came over his face.
And when we arrived at the park, the driver didn't leave us to continue working - instead he parked the taxi and stayed with us during our outreach. He heard our messages and saw us healing the sick through Jesus' Name, and he met some Thai believers from the Hope of Chiang Mai church.
About a year later, Pastor Phillip Mutzelburg made a return visit to Chiang Mai, so when Phillip returned, I asked him about the taxi driver. Phillip reported that the taxi driver was still in the church, still happily living by his newfound faith in Jesus.
Praise the Lord!
