Testimonies of Healing

About six years ago, while I was visiting at my uncle's home in Marshall, Mo. , he fell and hurt his hip so badly that he was under the care of different physicians almost all of the time for nearly six months.
ABOUT six years ago I fell and so injured my right hip that I could not get up. Kind friends lifted me and placed me in a conveyance, from which I was carried into my home.
