My wife and I and some friends once traveled to a church that was perhaps a couple of hours away from our home, to hear a preacher who had a reputation for "raising the dead." This man spoke about some of the experiences he claims he had in his missionary work in Mexico and stated that something like fourteen people had been raised from the dead in his ministry. As he spoke, we all sat with a sense of awe at these supposed miraculous events. We were totally amazed and overwhelmed as he told of these people who had been "raised from the dead."
