The Japanese Stranger: A Miracle Story
from Miracles in the 21st Century · host 3ABN Australia Radio
Stranded in a rural Japanese village with no way back to their ship and a strict deadline looming, one missionary family prayed in the freezing street — and a stranger appeared who led them through train stations without ever needing a ticket. This miracle story still gives Ann Browning chills decades later. At just 17, Ann was travelling with her missionary parents through Japan when their taxi driver abandoned them in an unfamiliar rural area, far from their planned destination and their ship's departure time. With no way to communicate and snow beginning to fall, the family prayed together in the street. Moments later, a well-dressed, English-speaking man appeared and personally guided them through multiple train transfers, walking straight past ticket collectors as if invisible. He delivered them safely within sight of their ship — then vanished completely, with no trace anywhere nearby. In this episode, you will hear: The moment their taxi driver abandoned the family in an unfamiliar village The freezing street prayer that preceded a stranger's sudden appearance Walking past ticket collectors without buying a single train ticket The stranger's disappearance without a trace once the ship was in sight Watch all the episodes on our Youtube channel at this link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL65y7saKkuQ2TB-CeuL-Ewag2dXWlz-A8 Music Credits: Clouds by Ethereal 88 | ethereal88.bandcamp.com Music promoted by www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)
