A mom lost her family within a blink in a car accident in 1997. However, she received the shock of her life when her young son defied medical odds and came back to life. Now, the boy has a chilling message for his family.

A family of three, Julie and Andy Kemp, together with their eight-year-old son Landon, were driving back home from church when they got involved in a car crash. They were broadsided by an ambulance zipping back to its station when the tragedy struck.

Unfortunately, Andy died at the scene and Julie struggled to stay conscious. When help arrived, they managed to stabilize her, but they had no idea Landon was still in the car. He was sitting in the backseat and medics only discovered him when they noticed his shoe at the scene. The car was so damaged that the boy was hidden from their sight.

Rescuers noticed Landon’s little shoe peeking out, and that initiated a more thorough search for his body. They were eventually able to retrieve his body, but to his mother’s horror, he was limp and not breathing.

Landon was resuscitated and flown to Carolinas Medical Center in North Carolina, but his fight for life was far from over. He died two more times that day, and doctors informed Julie that he would likely not survive. Even if he did, he would have the mind of an 8-year-old baby and be unable to walk, talk or eat due to the severe brain damage incurred.

“I was so desperate that that was okay. I would take that just to have him. He was all that I had,” said Julie.

“I was very disappointed. Heartbroken,” she said. “And while I’m sitting at the funeral, I’m fussing at God. I don’t understand why this happened. I don’t understand why he didn’t send angels to protect us, but in the very next breath I’m praying as hard to him as I’ve ever prayed in my life for Landon to live.”

“He’s hooked up to all kinds of machines to keep him alive, and there are no signs. There’s nothing good or bad,” added Julie through tears. “They see nothing happening. I kept praying that he would open his eyes.”

And two weeks later, Landon did exactly that. He woke up from his coma, and to the doctors’ astonishment, he suffered no brain damage.

While Julie was overjoyed to have her son back, she was equally terrified at the weight of relaying the horrific news to him that his father was dead. But when she asked if he knew where his daddy was, Landon was already aware. Julie was stunned at his response:

“Yes, I know where he’s at. I saw him in heaven,” Landon told his mother.

Landon also recalled seeing his father’s friend who passed away the month before, as well as Julie’s two other children. Julie was FLOORED that Landon could have possibly known he had two siblings. According to her, she never told her son that she had two miscarriages prior to conceiving him, but she knew that’s exactly who he saw.

The third time that Landon died, he says he came face-to-face with Jesus.

“Jesus came to me and told me that I have to go back to earth and be a good Christian and tell others about him,” he said.

Landon is now fully grown, and he and his mother are using their tragic story woven with miracles to spread the Good News of Jesus and the hope that he brings in the midst of even the worst of circumstances.
