Luke
Have you ever seen a dead person raised to life? I certainly haven't! But imagine what it would have been like for the people in Nain watching Jesus raise this man to life. And the joy of the mother, who was a widow and had no other sons. Her last hope was being carried out in a casket in front of her. Jesus then came along and raised him to life! The crowds were in awe and praised God (see Luke 7:11-17 for this story).
I guess my point here is that if Jesus cared enough about this woman that he raised her son to life, I think we can trust him in work in our lives too.
Colossians
Paul had such a powerful ministry, even when he was under house arrest. He wrote many letters, not just to the Colossians, and his letters have had a last effect on the world, far beyond his time. Granted, Paul did a lot of stuff before he was in prison, but still, you don't have to go too far to extend God's kingdom here on earth.
