This is what a young Turkmen woman experienced when she was dying of tuberculosis. Here, one of Danish European Mission's Turkmen contacts, Batyr, tells what happened when his wife Enejan gave a Turkmen children's Bible to her sister-in-law: Recently, Enejan heard that her sister-in-law in Turkmenistan had contracted tuberculosis. She lives in eastern Turkmenistan near Bukhara. Enijan prayed to God for her sister-in-law and her family. The family did not believe that there was any salvation for this young woman. Gulbahar, as she is called, was sent to an isolated ward in the hospital. Everyone assumed she would die there.
For many months she could only see her husband and two children through a glass window, says Enejan. One day in the spring, Enejan had the thought: "Gulbahar needs a children's Bible". Through phone calls and friends, they got a children's Bible for the isolated ward. It was given to Gulbahar and she started reading it. Several people around her saw the book. As she read the stories about Jesus, she experienced the Word healing her. The others saw this and started asking for the book. There was a scramble to borrow the "book". They fought to get it, we heard. As Gulbahar read, the tuberculosis began to lose its grip. The doctors could not understand what had happened. They took many tests, but the disease was and was not there. The doctors found no traces of tuberculosis in her blood. Today, Gulbahar is back home with her husband and two children. Batyr concludes: "The word of God and faith in Jesus healed her.
