Randy Kay's NDE with Jesus
What Researchers Found
The Story
Randy K, a former agnostic and biotech CEO, had a near-death experience when he clinically died for over 30 minutes from multiple pulmonary emboli and sepsis caused by MRSA. He left his body and saw it on the hospital bed. He rose toward a light, which was God's presence, and saw warring figures battling. He cried out to Jesus and felt cheek to cheek with him. Jesus wrapped an arm around him and said, 'Trust Me.' In a life review, Randy saw past events like helping a dying boy, with no condemnation but only grace; his failures were forgotten. He walked with Jesus through heaven, seeing glorious angels, a river of life flowing from Jesus' feet that gave abundance, animals including his dog Casey, children playing, and people in communal love. Jesus redeemed Randy's tears for joy and showed crucifixion marks. He sent Randy back to fulfill his purpose, symbolized by a butterfly for wisdom. After returning, Randy transformed from agnostic to prophetic speaker, best-selling author of two books, and ministry leader. He now shares God's love, coaches thousands, and seeks daily opportunities to show compassion with a tender heart.
