The claims

Boden Allen and Buford — A Ranch Dog Walks a Toddler Home (2025)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

A two-year-old who wandered from his home near Seligman, Arizona, on the evening of April 14, 2025, spent about 16 hours alone in high-desert country where searchers later noted two mountain lions, then turned up nearly seven miles away at a rancher's gate with the family's livestock-guardian dog, Buford, standing beside him; the boy was found with minor cuts and mild dehydration, and the dog's behavior fits exactly what its breed is raised to do.

Jonah Handler and Nicholas Balboa — A Voice in the Surfside Rubble (2021)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

When Champlain Towers South collapsed in Surfside, Florida, at 1:22 a.m. on June 24, 2021, a man from Arizona walking his dog heard a teenager screaming from the debris pile, climbed it in flip-flops, and flagged rescuers who pulled 15-year-old Jonah Handler out alive; 98 people died in the collapse, including Jonah's mother, Stacie Fang, and the contingency that put a passerby within earshot is the whole of the providence claim here.

Máximo Napa Castro — 95 Days Adrift, Praying to the End (2024–2025)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

Peruvian fisherman Máximo Napa Castro left the port of Marcona on December 7, 2024, for a two-week trip, lost his engine in a storm ten days out, and drifted 95 days across the Pacific on rainwater, birds, turtles, and roaches — the last 15 days with nothing to eat — before an Ecuadorian fishing vessel found him about 680 miles offshore in March 2025; he says daily prayer kept him alive, and the survival has a complete physiological account.

Sascha Roth and the Trial Where Every Tumor Vanished (2022)

Sascha Roth, the first patient in a Memorial Sloan Kettering trial of the immunotherapy drug dostarlimab, was packing for radiation when her doctor called to say there was no cancer left to treat; every one of the 12 patients with a specific genetic subtype of rectal cancer reached a complete clinical response, a result one investigator called the first of its kind in the history of cancer — and the mechanism behind it is fully understood, which is exactly why the case belongs here.

Baby Aya — Born Beneath the Rubble of Jindires (2023)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

Hours after the February 6, 2023 earthquake flattened her family's building in northern Syria, rescuers found a newborn girl alive under the debris, still attached by umbilical cord to her dead mother — the sole survivor of her household, named Aya, 'a sign from God,' by the hospital that saved her.

Baby Lily Groesbeck — The 'Help Me' Voice at the Spanish Fork River (2015)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

Four police officers and two firefighters independently reported hearing an adult voice say 'Help me' from a wrecked car that held only a deceased mother and her unconscious 18-month-old daughter, who had survived 14 hours suspended over a freezing river.

Chris Gunderson — 16 Years of Feeding-Tube Dependence Resolved After Prayer (2011)

A young man fed exclusively by j-tube since infancy due to congenital gastroparesis reported an immediate ability to eat after intercessory prayer at a 2011 church service; a 2019 peer-reviewed case report documents the resolution and seven-plus symptom-free years.

Gen. Eric Smith — Cardiac Arrest, and a CPR Instructor on the Right Block (2023)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

When the Commandant of the Marine Corps collapsed in sudden cardiac arrest on an evening run a block from his Washington home, the strangers who reached him included a certified CPR instructor visiting from Seattle, whose ten minutes of compressions carried the general to full recovery and return to duty.

Jahi McMath — A Family's Challenge to the Definition of Brain Death (2013–2018)

Declared brain-dead at 13 after catastrophic bleeding following airway surgery in Oakland, Jahi McMath was kept on support by her family in New Jersey for four and a half years — long enough for a senior neurologist to conclude she no longer met the criteria under which she had been declared dead — before dying of liver failure in 2018, in a case that has become the sharpest stress test the legal definition of brain death has ever received.

Jeni Stepien — Walked Down the Aisle by Her Father's Heart (2016)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

When Jeni Stepien's father died in 2006, his donated heart went to a New Jersey man who had spent years on the transplant list; ten years later, that man traveled to Pittsburgh to walk her down the aisle — and the evening before the wedding, she felt her father's heartbeat for the first time in a decade.

John Smith — Heart Restarted After 15 Minutes Under a Frozen Lake (2015)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

A 14-year-old submerged in an icy Missouri lake for over 15 minutes had no pulse for roughly 45 minutes of CPR; his heart restarted moments after his mother prayed aloud over him, and he recovered with normal brain function within weeks.

Katie Lentz and the 'Angel Priest' of Highway 19 — Resolved (2013)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

A 19-year-old trapped in a crushed car, her vital signs dropping, asked rescuers to pray aloud; a priest appeared on a blocked rural highway, anointed her, and vanished — absent from every scene photograph — and a week of angel speculation ended when Fr. Patrick Dowling identified himself, having simply parked up the road after a Sunday Mass.

Los 33 — Sixty-Nine Days Under the Atacama and the '34th Miner' (2010)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

When the San Jose mine collapsed on August 5, 2010, 33 men were sealed 700 meters underground with three days of food; they survived 17 days before a probe found them and 69 days before all 33 rode a rescue capsule to the surface — an outcome miners and nation alike credited to a '34th miner' who never left them.

Tham Luang — Twelve Boys, a Meditating Coach, and a Rescue No One Believed In (2018)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

Twelve young footballers and their coach survived nine days without food in a flooded Thai cave — found meditating in the dark — and all 13 were then extracted alive under ketamine sedation through kilometers of flooded passage, an outcome the lead anaesthetist himself believed had close to no chance of success.

Youssef Ziadna — The Bedouin Driver Who Drove Back Into the Massacre (October 7, 2023)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

When a regular customer called him at six in the morning as Hamas attacked the Nova festival, Bedouin minibus driver Youssef Ziadna drove toward the gunfire instead of away from it, packed thirty people into his fourteen-seat vehicle, and used his knowledge of the back tracks to carry them out alive — on a day when 378 people were murdered at the festival, his cousin was killed on a beach, and four members of his extended family were taken hostage.

Heidi Baker / Iris Global: Healing Claims in Mozambique

Heidi Baker's Iris Global ministry in Mozambique has claimed numerous blind and deaf healings since the 1990s; the STEPP study (2010) measured improvements in 24 participants, but Baker's individual healing testimonies lack independent medical verification.
