Christ EncountersChrist Encounters-title


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 Anna’s 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 ..."

Present-day appearances of Jesus:
"I will always remember what He looks like"


In the second of a new series the Dutch evangelical Omega programme profiled various people who had experienced physical and psychological healing after a personal encounter with Jesus.

"? a big bright burst of light filled my room and there stood Jesus. He told me I was His child and I was going to be OK. It was like a peace that came over me from my head to my toes, a peace like I had never known before." ( Debbie Ferget, interviewed on Omega )

Summary of the programme



More Christ Encounters

In an article, Bettina Fricke describes her journey to the First International Congress for Spiritual Concord, held in Kazakhstan, October 1992. At the Congress she meets three people who recognise the 'man in white' from the Nairobi photograph ( see the topic - Christ Appears in Kenya ) The man had appeared before these people and disappeared in the same way as experienced by the others.

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.
