Testimony
A woman came to visit the church and she was using a walker. She was not able to walk without using it as a support due to the pain she felt. During the meetings, she started crying, praying to God and by the end of the meeting, she put the walker away. She said that she went to many doctors, but Jesus healed her. She went home that night walking, and the walker is still at church.
