A 4-year-old boy in Alabama has been found alive and in apparently good condition despite spending 50 hours alone in the elements. The man who found the boy claims this was all part of God's plan.
Around 12:30 p.m. last Friday, 4-year-old Phoenix Wilkerson, who has been diagnosed with autism and is believed to be non-verbal, was killed in a town of about 3,000 people located 70 miles southeast of Montgomery, Alabama. Missing in Clayton. Cheyenne RayThe boy's mother claimed that he got out of the family's camper and walked to her mother's house. When Ray returned, Phoenix was gone.
Day turned to night and temperatures dropped to near freezing on Saturday. By Sunday morning, Phoenix was still nowhere to be seen.
After law enforcement issued an emergency alert regarding the missing child, many officials and volunteers arrived to help with the search. One such volunteer, a 25-year-old mechanic named Marquise Williams, decided to join the group on Sunday at the urging of God.
“Before I left, I asked my aunt, who is an evangelist, to pray for me because she said it wouldn’t work if she didn’t,” he said.
Williams and his wife, Valencia, then arrived at the search command center and followed others as they began searching for Phoenix in the area of the woods where the search team had found small footprints the day before. Williams claimed he felt God leading him to Phoenix.
“As I got closer to him, my heart started racing, so I knew I was getting closer,” he explained. “I knew God was with me.”
Williams' prayers may have worked, as he quickly spotted the Phoenix lying about 150 yards away. As Mr. Williams approached, he saw that the boy was alive and wearing the same shirt as Friday, and he knew this story would have a happy ending. “When he walked up and saw the shirt, he thought, 'There he is,'” Williams said.
Although barefoot and a little frightened, Phoenix appeared relatively clean and uninjured, Williams maintained. “His feet and stuff were pretty good,” he said. He was located about a mile away from where he went missing.
After rescuers put socks on his feet and draped a coat over his shoulders, Phoenix was eventually taken to the hospital for further tests. It is unclear his current condition or whether he remains in the hospital. At this time, no one has been charged in connection with his disappearance.
Phoenix's grandparents, Sandra Yeomans and Andy Pittman, gave glowing comments. praise to god And to those who participated in the rescue operations. “I want to thank each and every person who came out here and helped with this search, and most of all, I want to thank the good Lord in Heaven for bringing him back to us alive.” I want to thank everyone, the press, everyone on the ground, everything, I just want to thank everyone, I really appreciate everyone,'' Pittman said.
“I'm overjoyed because it was a miracle of God to bring this baby home. God prayed a lot. Thank you to everyone who prayed and to everyone who came to search. “This baby will be fine,” Yeomans added.
Even Barbour County Sheriff Tyrone Smith hinted that Phoenix's safe discovery may have been the result of divine providence. “It would not be true to say that I and many others were probably thinking and looking for a different outcome,” Smith said at a news conference. Here are the results we got. ”
No matter what others say, Williams humbly believes God put him in the right place at the right time. “The reason I was doing it was because God sent me to do it,” he said.
Yeomans also credits a fellow man for his grandson's rescue. “Never give up on humanity,” she said. “There are so many wonderful people on this planet with hearts of gold.”
