Andrea McClurkin-Mellini and Husband Pastor Louis Mellini Miraculously Saved From Near Fatal Car Accident
Andrea McClurkin Mellini, gospel singer and sister to pastor Donnie McClurkin, is sharing how a miraculous encounter saved the lives of her and her husband, pastor Louis Mellini.
The Mellinis were driving in their car after midnight recently, when they noticed a car flying at them at a speed of what they estimated to be over 100 mph.
Andrea and Louis took to her Facebook page to recount the ordeal that took place when the couple was leaving church and an expressway was closed which led them to travel on a service road.
"I yelled and braced myself because I looked over and saw a car coming," pastor Mellini said in the video that Andrea posted on Facebook. "It was right on us, going so fast that I totally went to the side and yelled 'Jesus' because I knew I was going to be the impact point. It was going to T-bone us."
However, something miraculous happened and the car seemed to inexplicably pass behind theirs without a sound that could be expected from a fast moving vehicle.
"So the car did not hit us, number one praise the Lord. But, the car completely passed behind us," Andrea said on the Facebook video that she made with her husband. "There was no sound, there was nothing. It was just a flash of light that passed behind our car."
During the tumultuous event, the couple stopped the moving vehicle and said in unison 'that car just went through us.'
"Honestly, for both of us to look at each other at the same time and say: 'that car just went through us.' I tell you, I'm not trying to be freaky, spooky or whatever, but God just did a miracle in our lives," Mellini asserted in the shared video with his wife.
"I'm telling you, I'm freaked out a little bit because I'm not sure that just really happened. But it really happened and we just thank God, we just started praising God because I'd be dead right now."
Andrea shared the message she took from the ordeal, which was to live for the Lord since the devil is looking to steal, kill and destroy lives.
"... If we weren't living for the Lord, I believe that we would have gotten hit. I thank God for His angels. I thank Him for his hand of protection; I thank Him for not allowing my children to be orphans or go fatherless," she said. "It was a miracle because what we experienced was extraordinary. Just live for the Lord, Jesus is coming back."
Last year, Andrea released her debut solo album Higher, which she used to spread a message of hope and encouragement.
"God is still doing great things, and we need to encourage one another," Mellini said in a statement obtained by The Christian Post. "We live in a crazy world. I want people to know that God loves them in whatever state they are in, no matter what they've done, or where they are, and that there is hope."
