First sentence: My heart pounded as the monstrous Pan American jet screamed down the long runway of the Djakarta airport, then lifted in take-off.
Description: Water turned into wine... Men raised from the dead... the ability to eat poison and not be harmed; to walk across a river 30 feet deep... 

Miracles like these, performed in biblical times, have often been written off for the 1970’s. But they are happening today as men, women and children simply believe God and act on His promises. 

The place? Indonesia—a network of islands in the Pacific now in the midst of what may be the greatest revival of the 20th century. 

The Indonesia Bible Society which tries to chart the results has found it impossible to keep up with the statistics. Churches in Central Java, for example, which reported 30,000 members in 1961 now number more than 100,000—almost doubling annually. 

Revival began in the city of Soe on the island of Timor in the Lesser Sunda group and is continuing through the work of evangelistic teams. 

A local Methodist pastor in Bandung, Rev. A. J. B. Thomas said, "These people are very primitive. They always have lived in a spirit world, and they readily understand the conflict between good and evil spirits. With their childlike faith, miracles are no problem for them."

Many church leaders believe we are living on the threshold of the time when the Gospel will move out from Asia to the rest of the world. 

One of the men who is going out is Melchoir Tari, better known simply as Mel, who was 18 when the revival started. Mel has now crisscrossed the United States and Europe, depending only on God to supply his needs.
