SURPRISED BY FRIENDSHIP Suddenly, Ms. Silva

SURPRISED BY FRIENDSHIP
A MIRACLE
IN CALCUTTA
January 12th, 2015, Founder of Calcutta Mercy, Huldah Buntain, entered the lobby doors of
Calcutta Mercy Hospital eager to spend the day with patients. It’s hard to believe this 173-bed
hospital has been around since 1977 and despite the years, Huldah can still name every person
who works there.
One ICU patient named Ms. Silva was one of the earliest members of the church where Pastor
Mark Buntain had preached until his passing. Every Sunday, she would run to Huldah and hand
her an envelope with her tithe. It was her way of rejoicing in another week of God’s provision.
Huldah’s excitement to see Ms. Silva quickly turned to sadness as she learned from a nurse
that she had not been responsive for over a month. Huldah walked to her bedside and placed
her hand on Ms. Silva’s head. With a gentle voice, she said, “It’s me, Huldah, Do you know who
I am?”
Suddenly, Ms. Silva opened her eyes wide and
started kicking from beneath the sheet.
She recognized Huldah’s voice and kicked
wildly as if to say, “I know you!”
Doctors and nurses gathered at the scene, completely shocked that Ms. Silva responded, and
continued responding with her movement. “Let’s pray,” Huldah urged. Ms. Silva closed her eyes
in agreement and received a prayer for healing.
Calcutta Mercy witnessed a miracle in the making that day. Amid the annual planning of the
year’s goals to deliver compassionate care, the Lord illustrated that relationships are equally
important. What a great reminder and a great start to 2015.
