Guy Peh, a 6' 7" tall ex-professional basketball player gave up his life and career overseas, to fulfill the Great Commission - evangelizing America and other nations. God has rewarded his commitment with a ministry of signs and wonders, raising the dead and healing the sick.

One such miraculous event happened November 6th, 1999, when Peh was preaching a revival in the small town of Fay, Oklahoma. Pastor Sharon Lee, of His Hand Extended Church suffered a heart attack the morning after a Friday Night revival service. That Saturday afternoon in the emergency room, Lee was without a pulse for over 30 minutes.

Doctors working administered CPR, medication and over 20 shocks in an effort to resuscitate her. But because Lee had not had a regular pulse for more than half an hour, doctors and nurses feared she would have severe brain damage. "We tried to give the maximum oxygen to the brain through CPR, but Sharon's heart was not beating regularly by itself. ... The entire time she was having seizures and her hands were drawn up," Dr. Ash, Lee's physician at Watonga Municipal Hospital, explained in a December 1999 interview with a staff writer from a nearby college newspaper.

Though the situation looked hopeless, God wanted to exhibit His power. Many people, including Lee's family, prayer warriors from her church, Peh and even believing nurses, were praying. Lee's heart then began to beat again - she had come back. "I laid my hands on her head and prayed for her brain to be completely restored," Peh said.

"The whole time the African man was praying very loudly, even the nurses were surprised," Dr. Ash stated regarding Guy, in December. After the prayer Dr. Ash was astounded at Lee's amazing comeback, "I didn't do anything special, I did whatever I do on everybody. I was very surprised when I was told she was coming back, and had a pulse. I thought she would never be normal again, like us, talking and walking. Really, I do think it was a miracle," he said.

The event drew such attention that Channel 4 News of Oklahoma City, over 45 miles away, broadcast a report three months later.

"During the time I was in the intensive care unit, I remember a strong presence of Jesus. I believe that God did a miracle through prayer, and I'm really thankful for a second opportunity to live," Lee said of her experience. Today, she is completely normal, with no brain damage or loss of memory.

Having graduated from Douala Bible training centre in Cameroon, Africa and CNFI-Dallas in May '99, Missionary Evangelist Peh continues to travel and is the founder of Reconciliation Ministry International. He holds evangelistic crusades in churches across the U.S. and ministers on college campuses as well as in the streets. His mission is to win the lost to Christ, and to give Christians all over the world a short-term experience on the mission field that will have long-term results in their faith walk.

Peh's home base is on campus at Christ For The Nations, and sometimes, he is invited to dance by Freda "Mom" Lindsay on stage during morning chapel services. "She is my girlfriend," Peh teasingly says of Mrs. Lindsay, Christ For the Nations' co-founder, and the woman who helped make his Bible school scholarship possible.

"I don't think that I have ever accomplished one thing. God did it all, and I've got to give Him the glory," Peh said.
