Northern Ireland
A pastor from the Ark Church in Belfast, Lee McClelland, who had been isolated in hospital with C-19, shared a seven-minute clip online recounting God’s goodness that he had experienced first-hand while at his lowest and most lonely.
Not knowing if he would end up on a ventilator, Lee said he cried out to the Lord, asking to be strengthened and encouraged. No-one was allowed into the room, no friend or pastor. When no-one else could get in, God sent Lee a cleaner.
The man said he had been a missionary in Nigeria, and encouraged Lee talking about all those who had been saved. The man prayed for Lee as he left the room. That night, Lee’s health improved, and his appetite returned. Praying for some prawn cocktail crisps and a Coke, he wondered if God would provide.
The next day, the cleaner, unprompted by Lee, popped into his room with those very things. In the emotional film, Lee praised God saying: ‘God is a personal God… Jesus Christ is glorious… Thank you to the cleaner who listened to God’s voice… Keep your eyes on Jesus. If you don’t know Jesus… cry from your heart ‘God be merciful to me a sinner’ and go home justified.’
