Roma Downey Brings Real Life Miracles to Television in New Show 'Answered Prayers'
Before a tornado ravaged her family's home, one Indiana woman heard the voice of God tell her to prepare her family for the upcoming devastation. This woman was one of many who decided to share their miraculous experiences on the new TLC show, produced by actress Roma Downey, called "Answered Prayers."
Downey, the "Touched by an Angel" actress, will host the new six episode TLC series that she'll also produce alongside her husband, Mike Burnett. The husband and wife duo recently teamed up to create the successful television miniseries "The Bible" and "AD."
Both Christians and non-believers who tune in will bear witness to real life footage, interviews and reactions to divine encounters such as one young boy surviving being buried under 11 feet of sand for hours, a pastor being stabbed 37 times and one family's car falling into an icy river bank with them in it.

In the premiere episode of the show, viewers will witness the power of God after the Indiana woman is warned about a tornado in a miraculous way and how prayer helped one family struggling with the decision to amputate their son's leg after a lawn mower accident.
"Each hour-long episode paints a vivid portrait of ordinary people who have faced extraordinary circumstances, and miraculously lived to tell the tale," TLC said in a statement shared with The Christian Post. "Each individual's unwavering faith and trust in the power of prayer has transformed potentially heartbreaking situations into stories of true inspiration."
Downey took to Twitter to encourage people to catch a glimpse of her upcoming show.
"Hey tweeters RT check out the very first glimpse of #AnsweredPrayers my brand new @TLC series … inspirational TV," she tweeted.
In April, the husband and wife production team were recognized on Newsmax's list of "Top 100 Christian Leaders in America" for their contributions to television and film. Their upcoming show, "Answered Prayers," will be produced by Downey's LightWorkers Media that partners with MGM, Mark Burnett, Roma Downey and Hearst Entertainment.
The series will make its official debut at 10 p.m. ET Sunday, July 27.
