Testimonies of Healing

I had always prided myself on my super-perfect hearing. I could, as the saying goes, "hear a pin drop in the next country" even after I became a senior citizen.

Recently I had a physical healing that also taught me a lesson about how to pray for church. At the time I had been getting quite concerned about developments in both my own branch church and The Mother Church.

One summer while in college, I was hired to assist on an archaeological dig. The crew members and I were outdoors constantly, working at times in heavy undergrowth.

It is with much gratitude that I share two of my many healings in Christian Science. One day I slipped on a muddy creek bank and hit my spine on a large rock.

I attribute my happy and healthy childhood to the fact that I regularly attended a Christian Science Sunday School and had the support of my parents, who were active Christian Scientists. It was only natural for me to want to give my children Christian Science as my mother did for her children.

I shall always be thankful to Christian Science for the blessings received through a better understanding of the Scriptures. One evening friends and I were leaving a museum located about forty miles from my home.

Some years ago an optometrist told me after an examination that I had glaucoma and offered to give me the name of a specialist. I thanked him, but said I would go to a Christian Science practitioner for healing through prayer.

My family and I live in a small town in central Kenya. The imaginary line of the equator passes through the town.

Getting into bed one night, I was suddenly overwhelmed by excruciating pain in one foot. It was as though I had somehow crushed some bones.

One wonders why the world does not more readily accept spiritual healing. Humanity keeps searching for new sets of rules for establishing good health, yet we have always had the reliable and proven example of Christ Jesus.
