7.4.1 Water Turned into Wine
This phenomenon is recorded by Don Crawford in his book,
Miracles in Indonesia. He is a trained reporter sent by Tyndale House
Publisher to verify the objectivity of signs, wonders and miracles. This is
what he wrote,
Another team, desiring to celebrate the Lord’s supper but having no
wine, was in similar fashion instructed to use water from a nearby spring. As at the wedding Christ attended in Cana, the water, when drunk for the communion celebration, had become wine.
Kurt Koch, a German scholar, was given a report that on October 5, 1967 the congregation in SoE had experienced a miracle as water turned into wine. Later on, the miracle was repeated seven times. Koch also
claimed that he himself experienced the miracle water turned into wine while he was visiting Timor.6
7.4.2 The Blind Received Their Sight
The Holy Spirit uses an illiterate girl, called Anna, to perform this
wonderful miracle. One day she entered a house and met a blind woman.
After Anna had shown her the way of the Lord, the Spirit commanded her
to pour some water into the woman’s eyes that she might see. Anna
followed this instruction. The result was that the woman received her
sight. According to Kurt Koch through the ministry of Anna, ten blind
people received their sight. It is amazing (cf. John 9). And all of those
events took place after the blind people confessed and repented of their
sins.62
Rev. Benjamin Manuain testified of a similar miracle. Someone who was physically blind (proven by the absence of pupil and iris in his eyeballs) was brought into his house. Amazingly, he could see as clear as one
who had normal eyes. He was one of those who received their sight
during the Timor revival.63
7.4.3 The Food Multiplied
God has never forsaken those who work for His glory. Kurt Koch reported how God met the need of one of the Timor evangelistic teams by multiplying food they had (cf. Matt 14:14-21).
Once when the team was working in the village, just as they were about
to leave, they were given nine bananas to eat on their journey. The
team, though, consisted of 15 members. When they stopped later to rest
and the bananas were distributed, everyone received a whole banana.
7.4.4 The Dead Being Raised
This is the most controversial issue in the publication of the Timor
revival. On one hand, George W. Peters argued that people being raised
from the dead, were not really dead. He said they had experienced
resuscitation. Thus, no such miracles happened.65 On the other hand, Kurt
Koch seemed to be defending the truth of the miracles.66 On one specific
occasion, he wrote,
Another instance was confirmed by the missionary Mr. Klein. A child
had been dead for two days. Ants were already crawling about over its
eyes and body. The parents, however, instead of burying the child on
the first day, as is the usual custom in the tropics, called for mother
Sharon. Two days later she arrived. After a time of prayer the child was
restored to life.67
