It has been about 1 month since Kris' last testimony from the clinic, so we thought it would be nice to share another awesome story about one of Kris' patients. In the month of December Kris saw 364 patients, and in the month of January he was able to treat 384 patients!! It seems that each month he gets busier and busier and we are praising God that he is being used to the fullest potential. I don't know if he could get much busier!!
This story is about a 19 year old guy that is currently living about 350km away attending college. He came to the clinic with an impressive MRI showing extremely bad disc herniations at L3, L4, and L5. (Basically his entire lumbar or low back region was in really bad shape). Kris was surprised to see such a bad MRI for somebody that is so young. Since he travelled such a great distance just to receive the chiropractic treatment, he and his father stayed in Bangalore for the entire week. His complaints were low back pain, numbness in one of his legs, and extreme pain with walking. He had been told by medical doctors that surgery was his only option for pain relief. Given his age, the patient was not quite ready to choose surgery as an option for treatment. Kris performed adjustments and stretches with him two times a day for 5 days straight. This is somewhat unusual for Kris to treat a patient this aggressively, but since they had travelled from such a great distance they wanted to get in as many treatments as possible. At the end of the week the patient reported that his pain and numbness were 90% improved!! We were definitely praising God for such a remarkable improvement in this patient. At the end of the week Jude and Roopa (the owners of the clinic) were able to have him and his father over for dinner. They were able to clearly present the gospel message and pray with them. This was also such an amazing thing as we believe they are Hindu. As they returned back home they were given a DVD that also presents the gospel message of salvation.
Over the past month we continued to pray that they would receive Jesus into their hearts, and that God would heal his back; then he returned to the clinic for another week of treatments. This time he complained of a slight return of the numbness, but overall was doing really well. Kris adjusted him one time per day for 4 days straight. On the last day of treatment the patient said that all of his low back pain was completely gone, and all of the numbness in his leg was completely gone. Wow....PRAISE GOD!!! The healing power of God truly is amazing. Kris also was able to pray with him once more before he left for home. The patient was extremely grateful for all of the adjustments and also thanked Kris for praying for him before he left. We continue to pray for this patient frequently, that God would continue to heal his back, and that he would accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
That truly is our prayer for each patient that walks in the clinic. I feel like sometimes we are praying the same thing over and over again, but God is listening! We ask that you would also continue to pray for all of the patients that Kris interacts with on a daily basis. We hope to be able to share with you an amazing testimony each month. We want to see miracles happen, but more importantly we want to see souls come to know the Lord.
