Testimonies of Healing
I am deeply grateful for a healing of obesity that took place two years ago. I had halfheartedly considered this a problem over a period of years.
Christian Science heals. This I have proven many times.
After I had an inspiring and harmonious first year as Second Reader in a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, a vacation was arranged to visit my family, located at a military base in a western desert area.
