A modern miracle unfolded during Christmas 2018 for Malcolm Hua, a skeptical architect who agreed to attend church with his minimalist wife, Han, after she decluttered their home by donating 12 carloads of items. As the congregation prepared for communion, Malcolm held his cup, completely unaware that a profound divine encounter was about to transform his life forever.
A Divine Encounter During Communion
During the pastor’s leadership of the Christmas service, Malcolm experienced an inexplicable shift in his body.
“My body starts to freeze,” he recalls, his voice still filled with awe even years later. “I couldn’t move. Nothing, like the only thing I could move was my eyes.”
Suddenly, a powerful sensation took over him: “I started feeling everything that Jesus felt on the cross. The anguish, the burden, the piercing on the side, the pain on the back. Physically felt it.” He didn’t scream out loud, but it felt as though God was whispering directly to him, “Look what I did for you.”
The instant the pastor instructed, “Take the cup,” Malcolm’s body unfroze, and he quickly gulped down the juice without even touching the cracker, his thoughts spinning in confusion. On the drive home, he remained silent, deeply processing what had just occurred, an event he couldn’t dismiss as mere coincidence.
“I downloaded the Bible app right away and started reading,” he shares openly. For someone with an analytical mindset like Malcolm’s, this divine encounter wasn’t random; it was a precise, heaven-sent intervention that sparked his faith journey.
God’s Personalized Divine Intervention
Malcolm firmly believes that God designed this divine encounter specifically for his personality and doubts. “He knows who I am,” he explains thoughtfully. “If it’s not this way, I’d go the other way.” His intellectual nature required something experiential and irrefutable, something no argument could undermine.
“When you’re talked into Christianity, people can talk you out. But if you experience it for yourself, you’re like, ‘No, that happened.’”
This modern miracle wasn’t merely a fleeting moment, it ignited a lasting fire within him. Malcolm’s emerging faith shone so brightly that he felt compelled to share it widely. At his architecture firm, he recounted his story to all his colleagues, particularly focusing on Guy, a relaxed coworker who had once sold Bibles but had since distanced himself from any active faith.
“I’m not like that,” Guy responded initially, showing little interest. Despite this, Malcolm continued his efforts, sowing seeds of faith through consistent conversations over several months.
The Power of Faith and Persistent Prayer
Malcolm’s enthusiasm for his faith extended beyond words into action, as he committed to persistent prayer for Guy’s heart to change. He trusted fully in God’s perfect timing for breakthroughs. Then, one ordinary summer day in 2019, Guy mentioned feeling unwell while at the office.
Seizing the opportunity, Malcolm approached him directly. “I went over and lay hands on him,” he recounts vividly. “I started praying and boom, he was slaying in the spirit.” Guy suddenly collapsed over the table, immobilized, and described a rush of something powerful flowing through his entire being. He stayed in that state for hours, even as Malcolm stepped in to handle his scheduled meetings.
This wasn’t a routine prayer session; it drew from inspirations Malcolm gained at a recent healing conference, where he learned to apply faith in practical ways and witnessed God moving miraculously. His supportive church community encouraged him further, reinforcing the importance of trusting in God’s unfolding process.
“We just have to be patient and let God work,” he reflects, highlighting a core lesson in the value of persistent prayer.
The story quickly spread across social media platforms, inspiring others to join in persistent prayer for Guy’s complete spiritual transformation and drawing attention to this modern miracle.
Building Momentum Through Community Support
Within his faith circle, Malcolm found encouragement to persevere, as friends and mentors shared similar tales of divine encounters that required patience and unwavering belief. This collective support amplified his resolve, turning individual persistent prayer into a communal effort that echoed far beyond their immediate group.
The Pivotal Moment: A Hug That Sparked Transformation
Several months following that office incident, Guy decided to attend part of a “New Man Conference” but had to leave early for a business meeting. On his way, he stopped at a Whataburger location in Mesquite, Texas. While waiting in line, an inner voice prompted him clearly: “Give her a hug.” Initially hesitant, he heard the urging again.
Turning to the cashier, who seemed somewhat rude that day, he mustered the courage to ask, “Can I give you a hug?” To his surprise, she hurried around the counter, jumped into his arms, and began sobbing uncontrollably. The stunned manager exclaimed, “How did you know?”
In that instant, Guy experienced a profound shift, forever altered by what he recognized as a divine encounter.
While medical professionals might label it as sheer coincidence, Malcolm viewed it as unmistakable evidence of God’s orchestration. “God is outside of time,” he asserts confidently, convinced that the seeds of faith he had planted through persistent prayer were now flourishing vibrantly in Guy’s life.
Lasting Transformation After the Modern Miracle
Guy’s spiritual journey continued to evolve beyond that emotional hug.
Exactly one year after Malcolm’s own conversion, Guy chose to retire from the firm, generously gifting his share of the business to Malcolm as a gesture of gratitude. He recommitted to church attendance, connected with a welcoming pastor, and discovered a new calling in working with children, a role that aligned perfectly with the needs of a local congregation.
Remarkably, within just a month, Guy authored a book chronicling his entire story, including photographic evidence, serving as a powerful testament to his renewed, faith-filled existence.
Meanwhile, Malcolm and Han’s marriage deepened significantly through their shared commitment to faith.
“Every day should be for Christ,” Malcolm emphasizes, marking a dramatic departure from their previously hectic, career-focused routines. He often humorously reflects on his once-dominant analytical tendencies, now fully surrendered to divine wisdom: “You can’t analyze that, and God knows.”
A Testimony Challenging Skeptics
The radical change in Guy’s life left their fellow architects in disbelief.
“Architects think different,” Malcolm chuckles, underscoring how God orchestrated undeniable modern miracles to reach two highly logical individuals. Their compelling narrative, disseminated through channels like YouTube, continues to confront and inspire skeptics worldwide.
“God will use you,” Malcolm assured Guy early on, a promise that has now been vividly fulfilled in both their lives.
The Hua family aspirations extend to motivating other believers to engage in bold, persistent prayer. “Don’t give up, no matter how long it takes,” Malcolm encourages passionately, always attributing outcomes to God’s impeccable timing in every divine encounter.
Watch the Miracle Unfold
The captivating tale of Malcolm and Guy, from a paralyzing communion experience to a transformative hug at Whataburger, comes alive when shared in their authentic voices on Jan The Miracle Hunter’s YouTube channel. Highlighted moments feature:
- Malcolm’s detailed recollection of sensing Christ’s crucifixion pain: “I started feeling the anguish, the piercing.”
- Guy’s dramatic collapse influenced by the Holy Spirit, leaving him immobile for extended periods.
