Stuck on a Reef: Answered Prayer
from Miracles in the 21st Century · host 3ABN Australia Radio
A mission ship crashed hard onto an uncharted reef in open water, throwing the crew to the deck and threatening to sink the vessel entirely. This answered prayer story shows how a single prayer, followed by one prompted decision, freed the ship without a scratch of damage. While delivering supplies and missionaries around Manus Island, Ann Browning's father's ship suddenly slammed onto a reef that wasn't marked on any chart, leaving the crew stuck and unable to move forward or backward under engine power alone. An elder onboard insisted they stop and pray before attempting anything further. Immediately afterward, Ann's father felt impressed to put the engine in reverse, and the ship broke free instantly as if the suction had released. Divers sent to check for damage found none at all — only the shape of the hull pressed into the reef, which was later added to maritime charts as a newly discovered hazard. In this episode, you will hear: The sudden, violent impact of the ship crashing onto an unmarked reef The elder's insistence on prayer before attempting any solution The ship breaking free the instant it was put into reverse The astonishing discovery that the hull had no damage at all 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)
