‘People see Jesus’: patients on the brink of death
Dr Pamela Prince Pyle, an internal medicine physician and chair of Africa New Life Ministries, has witnessed many patients experiencing visions of Jesus and heaven in their final moments. Some, after days of unconsciousness, have suddenly called out 'Jesus!' before passing. Inspired by these encounters, she wrote Anticipating Heaven, a book combining spiritual and practical wisdom on preparing for death. Pyle emphasises that while miraculous healings don’t always happen, the greatest miracle is salvation. She urges families to continue speaking faith and truth to their loved ones, even if unconscious, as Jesus can still reach them. She contrasts two end-of-life experiences: terminal restlessness, marked by fear and darkness, and near-death awareness, where patients describe peaceful transitions, seeing loved ones, or preparing to 'go'. She also warns against euthanasia, preferring a God-ordained process of dying in faith, which can be a powerful testimony. Her book equips individuals and churches to approach death with hope, anticipation, and the assurance of heaven.
