No one knew his name. He came and went without speaking. He seemed to come from nowhere he was dressed in jeans and a plain white tee shirt. But all anyone remembered about him was his touch.

This man arrived on the scene of a three car accident on a deserted stretch of highway. He pulled victims from the wreckage and then he healed them with a touch.

Injuries were gone without leaving so much as a scar. Broken bones and cuts were just a memory. Deep internal injuries were healed with the warm touch of his hand.

Then he was gone.

The victims of the crash were left to wonder who he was and what really happened on that stretch of road. They couldn’t explain it to the police or the hospital. They couldn’t even explain it to themselves. 

One day you may travel a deserted stretch of highway. If you should come to harm, know that the healer is out there just waiting to come to the aid of the injured.

It is his duty and his gift.
