“Deliver the poor and needy; free them from the hand of the wicked” (Ps 82:4).
Darlene Rose is well known for her thrilling book, Evidence Not Seen, concerning her life in a Japanese prison camp during World War II. Darlene and Jerry Rose later served among stone-age tribes in Dutch New Guinea (now Papua New Guinea).
One night, in far-off America, Mrs. Ed Spahr was awakened at midnight with a burden to pray for them, and spent the rest of the night doing so. The next morning, she wrote them a letter telling of her experience. Jerry responded some time later, saying they had received similar letters from Christians on all five continents! When the local times were determined, they discovered that these Christians were all praying at the very moment when he was standing with his hands tied behind his back, a native before him, threatening death with a spear. Suddenly another man appeared (there were no believers among the tribe at that time) and convinced the man to spare the life of Jerry Rose.
