An evangelist who was shot in the head while street preaching is showing small signs of recovery, according to Pastor Gary Marsh of Victory Chapel First Phoenix, who provided the congregation with an update Wednesday evening.
“It’s up and down. It’s up and down. It’s up and down. He’s not out of the woods yet, folks. He’s showing signs that he is on his way to recovery, but he’s not out of the woods yet. We just need to continue to lift him up and lift up [his wife] Zulya. That poor, dear thing. She’s just got to be beside herself.”
26-year-old Hans Schmidt, a former military combat medic, was preaching the gospel in the public square to people passing by, something he’d done countless times before, when a nearby man pulled out a gun and shot him. According to a GoFundMe released in his name, the bullet traveled through his brain and lodged on the right side of his head. As of a week ago, it was considered inoperable, and absent a miracle, severe and sustained brain damage is likely.
The suspect remains at large.
Since the shooting, folks have been rallying around Schmidt, with over a hundred people from different churches occupying the same corner he was shot at to preach and share the gospel, with the church reporting two salvations.
Not one word about the shooter?
I have been lifting him up in the incredible power of Christ that he is supernaturally healed and the signs and wonders that follow Believers will lead others massively to give their lives to Christ
No words...
Prayers Brother
Hadn’t heard about this until now. PRAYING much for a miracle and that an INCREASED Presence of the Holy SPirit, annointed people continue to preach! NO intimidation!!!
To God be the GLORY!
I had heard about it through Twitter X, not the national press. No mention of who shot him. Prayers for him!
We used to sit on the curb in the summer and listen to them. 🙏
Head wounds are very unpredictable. However, Phoenix has Barrow Neurological Institute, one of the premier brain research hospitals in the world. They influence all the neurological doctors in the area with the latest research.
Well done.
Other than stating he is still at large, no, but then what are you expecting them to say about someone who remains unidentified?
Grace to his Dr’s.
.
Peoria and 51 in Phoenix where the shooting took place and there’s rallies going on there.
Praise the Lord he is recovering!
