A friend from Taiwan recently sent me the following true story in his family news email:

My wife’s mom was suffering with cancer and ended up comatosed in hospital. As you could imagine everyone in her family was anxious. The doctors said it was ‘her last days’. My wife and I were concerned for her salvation and afterlife as were my wife’s Buddhist / Taoist family. My wife and I, together with some of our believing friends prayed, asking that God would talk to her mother about salvation while she was in the coma — believing the promise in Acts 16:31 Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved - you and your household. And it happened
One day while we were visiting her, she woke up for a short time. Then we asked her about salvation and if she wanted to accept Jesus as her saviour and go to heaven. She agreed, and prayed the prayer of salvation with us. She went back into the coma shortly after and died the next day. God is faithful to his promises! Never give up on your family, God is faithful up until the last hour. Unfortunately we weren’t there went she died but My wife’s Brother in-law and sisters were. They were pretty perplexed by the smile my wife’s mom had on her face when she passed away. I mentioned to them that she was probably smiling because she knew where she was going. Even tho’ My wife’s mom became a Christian before she died, her family insisted on giving her a traditional Buddhist funeral, but I think that it was more to appease themselves. At the funeral my wife gave a great speech which spoke of Christ and salvation, and some of her relatives were touched and asked her about it afterwards.
