Mary of Agreda
"Mary of Agreda was a Spanish nun whose passion was intercession. Each day she entered her prayer cell, where she would plead for the souls of the Native people of the American southwest. So great was her burden for the Aboriginal people that God took note. In her spirit she would "go" to what are now Texas and New Mexico. She would meet various tribes there, talking about Jesus to those who had never heard of him before. Reports began to come to Fraz Alonza de Banavides, father-custodian of new Mexico, of a "woman in blue" who would miraculously appear to the First Nations people, proclaiming the Kingdom of God. He decided to get to the bottom of this. Corresponding with priests in Spain, he tracked down Maria de Jesus, now mother superior of St. Clare in Agreda. She admitted that she was indeed the woman in blue, sharing her faith among the Natives. He crossed the Atlantic to investigate. She was able to describe the clothing and customs of specific tribes by name and identify specific individuals among them. When he asked her where she learned so speak all the Indian languages, she replied, "I didn't. I simply spoke to them-- and God let us understand one another" Marry of Agreda allegedly experienced over five hundred of these prayer trips over the course of a decade while never once physically leaving the four walls of her convent in Spain"
Philip was transported in the bible,(Acts 8:38-39) so we know this kind of this is possible, but isn't such amazing acts and phenomena restricted to the characters and events of Scripture? I think this shows not necessarily. Have fun responding. (I got all this info from Brad Jersak's book Can You Hear Me?)
