Thanks for the pings, Comedian and HushTX.
A nurse is leading a mission team of doctors and nurses to Brazil. They left on Jan 13, 2011. They are still there until the 28th. On the 12th there had been massive flooding in Brazil and over 600 people died. They were not going for this reason but the timing of their trip just happened to coincide.
Only one on the team had ever experienced the power of the Holy Spirit or miracles for that matter!! She had asked her friends to pray, and they did.
Her friend had sent her a small e-mail on the 13th with a small word, and she had mentioned how blessed the team was by it. So the next night, the friend sent her another e-mail, and she told her that when she read the e-mail to her team in chapel on Saturday the 15th in the morning, one by one the team members fell under the power of God. They lay there, unable to move for over an hour while someone reread the e-mail over them, over and over and over.
She said the e-mail had released so much faith to them that just at the end of the chapel time, when the Holy Spirit told them to “Go to the morgue, NOW!” they immediately obeyed. What happened in the morgue and on the street near the morgue is almost incomprehensible and hard to imagine but she talked to her friend on Sunday morning and got the incredible, play-by-play details.
After chapel on Saturday morning when they fell under the power, the team went out into the streets and the morgue and raised 16 people who had died in the floods 3 days earlier from the dead.
Attached is the local newspaper article (translated below) from the area in Brazil where this happened. The article was published Sunday, 1/16/11.
The testimony is below from the pictures attached and the newspaper article printed on Sunday morning! Read on.
Below is the English translation of the local newspaper article with the documented interviews of two of the people that had been risen from the dead:
Caleme, Teresopolis
16 Dead Bodies Confirmed Resurrected from the Dead
Sunday, January 16, 2011
CALEME, TERESOPOLIS, Brazil – People of the barrio of Caleme have witnessed Saturday 5 dead bodies raised from the dead in the street. Another 10 bodies from the morgue have been raised to life. One woman who drowned and was dead was also raised back to life. The people in Caleme reported that 5 American men went near the 5 bodies and yelled, “Rise and live in the name of Jesus.” The dead bodies started to shake and stood up and walked and are alive. At the nearby morgue, there were 10 dead bodies in the hallway. People said that 5 foreign women went near the bodies and said, “Rise and live in the name of Jesus.” The dead bodies shook and stood up shaking and walking and were alive. People were screaming, yelling. Riot at the barrio of Caleme. These 5 dead bodies in the street of Caleme have been dead since Wednesday January 12. The 10 dead bodies in the morgue have been left in the hallway since Wednesday. People have talked to the dead risen. They were still weak but were able to talk and they said, “I was in a dark place many people crying, shouting. Was I asleep? Now I am alive!” “I know I was dead. I was in a dark, ugly place. I do not know what happened, but I am back to life. God is alive.” The families of these dead are celebrating and happy. There has been hope in Caleme since Saturday.

Thanks! Every little bit helps!
Here are the details that my friend gave me over the phone about the pictures attached to the article.
The link below is to a picture (in color) of the five bodies that died in the floods on Jan. 12, 2011. It was taken on the day that they died. This picture was taken 3 days before they were raised back to life on January 15, 2011. My friend told me those bodies were lined up along the side of the road and left there for three days until when on Jan. 15, 5 men from their medical mission team, came upon them and not knowing exactly how to raise the dead, the team decided to just stand there and worship the Lord over the bodies (this is what my friend told me but the news article says differently). As they worshiped, the bodies began to shake and tremble and began to sit up and stand. Instantly, the people all around began to shouted and screamed, and within in a few seconds there was chaos and a mob of people. This picture matches exactly to the top picture you see in the newspaper article attached.
This link below will take you to that picture but you have to scroll down a bit to see it. It’s in the right hand column. To make it easier for you, we attached a screen capture above. It is the same picture used in the newspaper article that was written about that day. The pictures are both date stamped. Incredible.

(This is the link to the photo at the beginning of the post)
The second (or bottom) picture in the newspaper article appears to be the leftover pile of dirty blankets that were used to cover the 10 dead people in the morgue who were waiting to be buried but then raised from the dead instead. These bodies all had been dead for three days as well, due to drowning in the floods. The other five members of the medical missions team had entered the morgue under the Holy Spirit’s leading. He had given them the number 16 but they were not sure what that meant.
They stood to the back of the room, amongst the family members who were grieving and mourning their losses and the 5 ladies from the mission team linked hands. As they did, they began to shake under the power of God. They felt the Holy Spirit give them the words to say and all together they shouted it: “RISE UP AND LIVE IN THE NAME OF JESUS.” The leader told me that their voices were not their own and that “somewhere in our bellies” came a thundering voice in one accord, as if they had shouted through a megaphone.
They waited and within five seconds, one body began to shake as if “someone had been stomping on them” and then one by one all the bodies were shaking. Each body then began to slowly sit up, and then stand. The grieving family members began to shout and scream wildly and in an instant there was chaos in the room. The interpreter quickly ushered the team out of the building for their safety. They met up with the other team members that had been walking the street and had just raised the other 5 to life. That team had also come across a dead body that had been more of a recent death and decided to try CPR. Just as they were going to do CPR, the Holy Spirit told the team leader, “Do not do CPR! Command the body to rise and live.” So they did and that body began to shake and sit up. That person was also raised from the dead.
The team had raised up a total of 16 people from the dead on January 15, 2011. The same number that the Holy Spirit had given to them earlier that day. 10 + 5 +1 = 16

Sorry, but Paul and the apostles are dead. No one alive today has the power to raise the dead.
Who would want to leave Heaven to come back to Earth?
While I believe that the Holy Spirit works in the lives of believers and we are told we would be able to raise the dead, something about this story doesn’t pass the smell test.
I am more than willing to believe that such an event could have occurred. However, there are no names given in the story. No way to follow up. And the photo links provided to AOL do not match the photo from the story. Why wouldn’t there be photos of the resurrected? The source from the story was “anonymous”. This does not have the look and feel of truth.
If this is true, praise be to our Heavenly Father!!!
What would be even more impressive would be to hear that hundreds or thousands put their trust in Jesus Christ for their eternal lives as a result of seeing the demonstration of power. Curious how little emphasis has been placed on this.
These people are crazy...
I found it interesting and did a research, it results to be a GROSS FORGERY using this same article and translating it into Portuguese thru a Machine Translator API and then uploaded Photoshop.pdf...
That´s... What else can I say... Disgusting...

Seeking signs and wonders!!
Sorry, this kind of nonsense is what makes some religious people sound nutty.

EVIDENTLY, the expected resurrections are increasing.
This is a wonderful story. PRAISE GOD.
IT IS WORTH A READ.
For those who’s theology doesn’t allow God to do His miracles in the current END TIMES end of the Church age,
I’m sure God will be impressed by your disbelief.
About as impressed as the relatives who’ve had their loved ones returned to them resurrected.
Yesterday this “Healing Herald” article, that is linked directly under the FR headline, had a .pdf file that was claimed to be from a Brazilian newspaper supporting this story.
Today, the article at “HealingHerald.org” has been changed. The linked .pdf file has been removed and replaced with the following text (about half way down the page)....
“ARTICLE REMOVED for further investigation.”
Mighty is the Lord.
Jesus is Lord over life and death.
Thank you !!!
The Dalai Lama goes to hell while my hellish sister, in church every Sunday morning, to heaven? I don’t believe that!
At the “Healing Herald” link, it says “By Bethel Church (RSS)” right under the headline and date. So the origin of the article was Bethel Church in Redding, California.
If you go to the Bethel website, look at the left hand column where it says “Good News”. The list of testimonies there matches the list on the left side of the Healing Herald webpage, except for one thing...the story which is being discussed in this thread has been removed at the Bethel Church website.
The Healing Herald page still has the list of Bethel testimonies in the left column, but if you click on “Sixteen Flood Victims Raised From The Dead In Brazil” you’ll get the following message at Bethel’s site.... “Sorry, looks like you were trying to locate something that we couldn’t find.”

Just for the record since this story is still circulating six years later, the story was fake.
