The Story
Heidi Bar was a 16-year-old girl who experienced a near-death experience (NDE) after a horse riding accident that caused severe injuries. During the NDE, she left her body and observed the scene from above. She saw her sisters and the commotion at the barn. Then, she encountered a bright light that revealed itself as Jesus. She felt a deep connection with him and recognized him as the God she had spoken to throughout her life. After her NDE, Heidi transformed her life. She stopped using drugs, focused on her education, and sought to learn more about Jesus. She felt a new sense of purpose and direction in her life.
