I've been begging Kris to share a few testimonies for the blog, but with the clinic being so busy this month he hasn't had time to discuss. He has been playing catch-up for last month after missing some work with having John. Now that things are finally caught up a bit, he had a few minutes to share with me some of his favorite stories as of late. I have 3 quick testimonies to share involving 3 women that have been receiving treatments at the clinic.
The first female has been seeing Kris since we arrived in November. She is in her 30's and is a homemaker. She came to the clinic complaining of pain on the entire right side of her body. Her right leg, lower/upper back, shoulder, neck, and head. She was unable to complete any of her homemaker tasks like washing clothes (she washes all her clothes by hand), dishes, sweeping/mopping, etc. She was also unable to sit/stand for long periods of time and could barely walk. The pain was quite debilitating for her. After receiving consistent chiropractic care for several months she is relatively pain free. She comes now about every other week for maintenance care. The pain in her leg and low back is gone and she only occasionally has a headache or shoulder/upper back pain. It's amazing to see how someone can go from barely functional in her day to day tasks to now relatively pain free! Another interesting thing about her is that she drives from over an hour away just to receive care. She saw that the treatments were effective therefore making her drive worth the time.
The second and third females have a similar story. Both women had significant disc bulging in their lower backs with MRIs to prove it. They were told by medical doctors that they would need surgery to repair the disc bulge and improve their back pain. They both decided to seek alternative treatment and receive chiropractic care with Kris at the clinic to try and put off surgery for as long as possible. After receiving adjustments from Kris they both decided to get a repeat MRI just to see if the discs looked improved from the first MRI. Kris did not actually see the MRI from one of the gals, but according to her medical doctor, she was told that the disc bulge had improved significantly. The doctor was so impressed by how much her disc had improved that he asked her if she had received surgery to repair the disc. She of course had not had surgery, but had only received treatments from Kris over the course of a few months. The other gal also had a repeat MRI, which Kris did evaluate. He said the disc looked about 40% improved from the first MRI. She was also asked by her doctor if she had received surgery, because the disc looked so much better. The doctors of both of the women said that surgery was no longer necessary!
The last testimony that I want to share is also a prayer request. Jude (the owner of the clinic) said that this month was a record month in which they handed out more Bibles and tracks than ever before. More and more people have been open to receiving the gospel through these tools. Please pray that these people would be open to accepting Jesus into their hearts. Kris and I pray daily not only for physical healing for each patient, but more importantly that they would come to know Jesus Christ. Continue to pray that the Holy Spirit would anoint Kris with wisdom and the gift of healing, so that all may be touched by the hand of God. We praise God for the work that he has already shown us during our first 5 months here. To God be the glory!
