 This happened  in Ft.Payne, Alabama.  Feb. 1999
  I just heard this from my mother.  It's one of those
  things that you hear about and read about.  You
  believe that they really happen.  You are encouraged
  by hearing or reading it.  But when it happens close
  to you, it will bring you to your knees praising Him.
  There is a family that lives near me in Fort Payne.
  Their little boy, 6, has a tumor in his brain that is
  very rare and without treatment will kill him.  But
  the only doctor in the world that has experience in
  treating it lives in Asia.  The family, their
  friends, their church all prayed for God's compassion
  as this little boy grew sicker and sicker.  The
  family cannot afford to take the boy to Asia for the
  surgery.  As a matter of fact, they couldn't afford
  the surgery if the doctor were in the US.  The
  prayers asked God to prevent him from suffering as he
  died from this tumor.
  
  Well, the dad works at a local Ford dealership,
  selling cars and trucks.  A very nicely dressed man
  stopped at the car lot last week.  The dad talked to
  him.  The customer said that he didn't need a car.
  He certainly could afford as many cars as he wanted,
  but he didn't need one.  Actually, he wasn't real
  sure why he had even stopped.  The dad suggested they
  go into his office and talk while they looked over
  brochures.  As they sat down, the dad introduced
  himself to the customer.  The customer's last name
  was the very same last name of the doctor in Asia
  that could operate on the little boy.  The dad fell
  to his knees, praying and weeping.  He couldn't
  believe that there in his office was someone with the
  very same name as the doctor.  Maybe it was a family
  member, the doctor's brother.  Maybe he could arrange
  for the doctor to help his son.
  
  The rest of the staff of the Ford dealership began
 gathering around to see what was happening.  The
  customer was more than a little surprised by the
  reaction he had gotten to his name.  As the story was
  told about the little boy, the customer began to
  understand much more.
  
  You see...  The customer was not a family member of
  the doctor.  He was the doctor.  He was moving from
  Asia to practice medicine in the US.  Actually at the
  University of Alabama in Birmingham, which is only 2
  hours from our little town.  He promised that as soon
  as he completes his move from Asia to the US, that he
  would perform the surgery on the little boy, free of
  charge.
  
  Now.  Why would a man from Asia, that is a very
  successful, wealthy doctor moving to Birmingham, Al,
 stop at a Ford dealership in Fort Payne, Alabama?
  There is only one reason.  The only reason for
  anything at all.
 
  Praise the Lord.  He is so good!
  Please feel free to pass this on.  I may have some of
  the precise details wrong.  But I promise to you that
  this IS a true story.
 
  Give Jesus the glory!
