Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science came into our family when a relative was healed after doctors gave up the case as terminal. Over the years, we have had numerous healings, including those of colds, flu, childhood diseases, tonsillitis, bee stings, animal bites, and sprains.

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.

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

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.

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.
