Russian Woman Has NDE and Encounters the God She Didn't Know - Sevda's Testimony
What Researchers Found
The Story
Sepa Mckela, an 18-year-old from Russia, experienced a near-death experience due to internal bleeding. During the event, she felt herself leave her body and saw paramedics trying to help her. She felt no pain and saw her body on the ground. She then held hands with a woman nearby and prayed. After the experience, she returned to her body and was taken to the hospital, where doctors were surprised she survived. Following the NDE, Sepa developed a strong curiosity about God and sought a relationship with Him. This led to a significant transformation in her life, including a deeper faith and a desire to help others understand the importance of seeking God.
