You've buried a longing so deep that you won't even pray about it. Maybe it's finding a lost family member, healing a broken relationship, or discovering your true identity. You've convinced yourself that it's too hard, even for God. You smile, say you're fine, and pretend the ache doesn't exist. Can God see that secret desire you won't even speak out loud?
In this powerful continuation of Derrick Frank's story, witness one of the most miraculous testimonies you've ever heard. After God supernaturally freed Derrick from jail on Good Friday, Derrick built a life serving God. But he carried a hidden wound. Growing up without knowing his father's identity left a hole Derrick thought was impossible to fill. He never prayed about finding his dad because he believed it was beyond even God's reach. But God had other plans. Through a prophetic word, a DNA test, a BBC podcast, and perfect divine timing, God orchestrated a father-son reunion that defied all odds. Then went even further.
