Miracle Stories from Around the World

Dear Lord,

Thank you for using screens, videos, and digital connections to speak truth into hearts that are searching. Please use us to help more people find You right where they are.

Amen.

Jennifer, a single mother living in Melbourne, Australia, was looking for truth.

It was just another day scrolling through YouTube until an animated film caught her eye. Her daughter Isabella, fresh out of high school, leaned in beside her curious.

The video was The Great Controversy, a vivid, thought-provoking depiction of the cosmic conflict between good and evil posted on Hope Channel’s YouTube channel. As they watched, the message began to challenge assumptions. It echoed things they'd long suspected but never fully understood. Then they left a comment: “We want to get baptized.”

That single sentence tucked beneath a video became the start of a life-changing journey.

Someone from Hope Channel International saw the comment and reached out. He connected them with Puia Fanai, a pastor who began engaging them in regular Bible studies. However, even before the studies began, the Holy Spirit had already been at work.

Reflecting on her journey, Jennifer said:

“I would pray to God and I would cry to God. I’d say, ‘God, I love You. I want to learn about You—but where do I start?’ He directed me to a website that would speak to me on a very intimate, individual basis. And through that study, I got to know God. I got to feel Him. I got to understand Him more.”

Jennifer and Isabella had been worshipping at home. They were watching Amazing Facts and Hope Channel’s youtube account for Pastor Pavel Goia, and reading their Bibles, comparing everything, and seeking more. When they discovered the Sabbath, no one had to convince them. They embraced it joyfully before anyone had even studied it with them. They were hungry for truth, open to conviction, and eager to follow wherever God led.

As the Bible studies deepened, Pastor Puia was amazed by Isabella’s grasp of Scripture.

“She could explain complex prophetic concepts with such clarity,” he said. “It was a testimony to how God was guiding their understanding.”

Then came the moment.

On May 10, 2025 they were baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Jennifer invited her parents to witness the moment. Isabella stood confidently in her faith. A mother and daughter, once searching, now standing in truth.

And their story didn’t end at the baptistry.

Jennifer now shares her faith with friends, coworkers, and family. Isabella continues to grow, grounded in Bible truth. Today, they are active members of the West Point Seventh-day Adventist Church in Sydenham, Australia.

That’s the power of media ministry.

Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Today, people are hearing through screens. Through headphones, through YouTube, and they’re finding Jesus.
