Miracles and supernatural experiences while on the mission field?

[TruthSeek3r]

From time to time I come across testimonies of missionaries reporting extraordinary anecdotes that occurred when they were on the mission field. For instance, I've heard of stories of people getting miraculously healed after getting prayed for, demonic entities showing up at night telling them they won't be able to evangelize in that country, bullets getting deflected, people manifesting as if possessed and getting delivered, etc. The following are some of the most extraordinary anecdotes from missionaries that I've come across so far: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R.

Question: how common is it that Christian missionaries come back from their mission trips reporting extraordinary anecdotes? How often do missionaries report supernatural experiences of any sort while on the mission field?

Also, feel free to share your own personal anecdotes while on the mission field, or any interesting testimony you deem worth sharing. All stories are welcomed.

The fact is that when we are on the cutting edge of the kingdom, divine help and the gifts are needed.

If we are staying in a comfortable and less challenging environment - not so much.

Two servants with a long term testimony at the 'front line' would be Jackie Pullinger (Hongkong) and Canon Andrew While (Iraq)

Statistically, I couldn't tell you. I've heard testimonies of miraculous healings and happenings, but not for every trip.
