#324 - Jeff Is Touched by Hand of God in NDE After 100 MPH Crash
What Researchers Found
The Story
Jeff Welsh, a 19-year-old high school graduate, had a near-death experience from a high-speed motorcycle crash into a pickup truck on his private driveway in 1981. He collided at about 85 miles per hour without a helmet. During the NDE, Jeff left his body and watched the crash from above. He saw his sister and brother-in-law react, then his sister run to tell his mother. Pulled upward, he entered a bright light of love and peace. An escort led him through heaven's lobby past groups of spirits. He approached a clouded veil before God and heard that time would heal his family's wounds. A hand touched his chest, saying 'Not yet, there is more work for you to do.' He returned to his body, revived, and walked away unharmed. After the NDE, Jeff led an intervention that helped his addicted mother quit drugs and alcohol; she stayed sober for 35 years. He started a successful business and shared his faith to help others.
