I just posted my doubts about this particular story. However, I think your request should be restated:
I know the NT from front to back.
Show me where other than the first century apostles raised the dead:
First, your request is an historical non sequitur. Anyone familiar with the NT would realize that the last book was written around 90AD. Therefore, it would be very unlikely to give an "account" of anyone beyond the first century raising the dead.
That being said, I think that you should have requested that someone show a New Testament passage which would indicate that healing power would be vested in someone other than a first century Apostle.
Some Christians believe that the miraculous manifestations of the Holy Spirit were limited to the first century in order to help the Church be launched. A seminary professor I was listening to last week [Dr. Donald Fortson - RTS Seminary - iTunes U - Church History 1] suggested that these miraculous events may have stopped once the Canon was adopted. He pointed out that that should be considered since many of the Apostolic Fathers from the first century reported such occurrences in many accounts, but it dies down rapidly after Constantine.
At any rate, it seems that the belief that the miraculous has ceased seems to be based in traditions rather than any specific Biblical passage.
Since I believe in the Providence of God and that He is intimately involved with His Church, I see no statement to the effect that He would limit his involvement to the "non-miraculous".
I really think the burden of proof is on those who believe that God chooses to not employ miracles in this age. Got any passages to throw out there to state otherwise? :)

PRIDE goeth before a fall :)
(Acts 20:9 KJV) And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
(Acts 20:10 KJV) And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
Wake up.
It’s been happening in China and South America and Mexico for years.
One case in China, the wife laid her dead husband out by the side of the road and preached and prayed there with him for 3 days . . . and he came back from the dead.
A local pastor in Mexico will not even consider a candidate for ordination unless he has had at least several resurrections under his belt first.
Your theology is dreadfully wrong.
Wake up.
