  • Doctor Raises Dead Patient with Prayer | Dr. Chauncey Crandall
    Nov 7 2026

    Full video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4pqkttG2Z4

    The patient had been declared dead. A nurse was preparing his body for the morgue. Then God told Dr. Chauncey Crandall to turn around and pray.

    Cardiologist Dr. Chauncey Crandall joins Ben and Jodie Hughes on Encounterable Episode 22 to share the resurrection story of Jeff Markin. After Crandall prayed and called for another defibrillator shock, a heartbeat returned. Days later, Jeff described total darkness and being thrown into a trash pit. Crandall recounts it as an encounter with hell and a second chance to receive Jesus.

    From hospital rooms to African crusade fields, this episode is filled with supernatural encounters, healing and the power of the Holy Spirit. Stay for prayer for healing, boldness and the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

    Stay to the very end for a bonus Reinhard Bonnke story, shared by Dr. Crandall after the interview.

  • Jim Drown’s Wild Stories of Supernatural Survival, Encounters & Miracles
    Oct 17 2026

    Full video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2xdxqwzJSQ


    Jim Drown survived a suicide attempt and says he saw visions of his future before waking two days later. The teenager who couldn’t imagine a future would go on to help take the gospel across Peru.


    Recorded in Lima, Peru, Episode 20 of Encounterable brings Ben and Jodie Hughes together with Jim to hear the story behind nearly 25 years of evangelism. Jim recalls counting about 480 nights of crusades. In Peru alone, he estimates that he and Kathy have ministered in around 100 cities, with teams now multiplying the work.


    From praying on street corners to projecting the Jesus film on a mountainside and organising mass gospel gatherings, Jim shares what it looks like to say yes to God before you have everything figured out.


    Returning to Peru also meant returning to the place of his deepest heartbreak. Jim opens up about losing his daughter, experiencing spiritual abuse, and years of grief and bitterness. At 48, he describes a separate encounter in which he saw himself through Jesus’ eyes. It changed how he saw himself and gave him a desire to return to the country he’d sworn he would never visit again.


    In this conversation:

    • The visions of his future Jim says he experienced during those two days

    • Finding Jesus at a tent meeting and beginning a radically different life

    • Angelic encounters, glory clouds, and his translator’s account of walking into fire without being burned

    • The machete attack that ended with his attackers kneeling to receive Jesus

    • Worship, the Holy Spirit’s presence, and healing testimonies from the nations

    • Jim’s part in the encounter that helped launch Pour It Out Ministries

    • How a willingness to go grew into decades of evangelism across Peru and beyond


    If you’ve wondered whether God could use your life, stay for the closing prayers for salvation and impartation. Jim prays for God’s love and power to flow through others and for them to become His hands, feet, and voice.
