Hi, my name is Yanna. I live in Japan with my father and mother and my little sister
Chana. We came from Taiwan to help tell people in the big city of Tokyo about Jesus.
One day my father called, “Yanna , Chana, I forgot the cell phone in the car. Can you
go get the cell phone for me?”
Chana and I ran to the elevator and pushed the button to go down. Suddenly the lights
went out and the elevator stopped moving. It was very dark inside the elevator and we
We tried to open the door with our hands but it wouldn't move.
“Let's pray,” I said to Chana. “God will help us open the door.” So we closed
our eyes, even though it was very dark in the elevator, and prayed. “Dear Jesus, father
asked us to get the cell phone and now we're stuck in the elevator. Please help us get
out of the elevator, Jesus.”
After we said “Amen,” we turned to the door, and with almost no force at all, the
door opened and we were able to get out safely. We got the cell phone, and ran all the way
home.
We told father and mother what had happened,and then we all praised God together. Father told
us that the door was made to be impossible to open with our hands, so God must have sent
an angel to help us open the door. I'm glad God heard us, even in the dark elevator.
Thank you for helping children around the world learn about Jesus.
