On 15 February Kenyan nun, Sister Anna Hadija Ali, sponsored and supported by Monseignor Emmanuel Milingo, an African Bishop, held a press conference in Rome and spoke about her experience of meetings every Thursday since 1987 with Jesus Christ. European media have reported on this event, including Italian and French television, News of the World (UK) and Hello magazine (UK).
Two photographs she had taken of Jesus in 1987 and 1988 were displayed at the conference and have been included in a book entitled Divine Call recording her experiences. In the photograph taken in 1988, Jesus weeps blood. Since then, every Wednesday prior to her meeting, Sister Annas face becomes swollen and painful and the following day she, too, weeps blood. Her doctor remarked that this is an absolutely inexplicable phenomenon from the scientific and human point of view. He also commented on an extraordinary aroma of freshness she exudes during this process, which he concluded is the perfume of the Christ.
Is the Second Coming already happening?
"Licensed professional counsellor G. Scott Sparrow has interviewed scores of people who had personal encounters with Christ. These 'witnesses' report the presence of a being appearing in their dreams and visions, often recognized as Jesus. The number of experiences that Sparrow collected suggests that Christ encounters are a widespread phenomenon, which raises the question: Is the Second Coming already occurring? He has published his study in a book titled Witness to His Return ( ARE Press, 1991 ).
Spiritual World Network's Triaka-Don Smith, commenting on Sparrow's work, said he personally has interviewed several people on radio and television who testified they witnessed Jesus in a physical materialization in a form similar to, if not actually, flesh and blood that could be touched and felt by the hand ..."

Three Christ Encounters are described in letters published in the Share International "Letters to the Editor" column. One describes a man who appeared out of thin air in the person's home, the second an encounter in the street on a dark rainy night, and the third a very special dream.
