Location of Testimony: Volta Redonda, Brazil
Reference Number: 25570
A translator and I were summoned to pray for an older woman who was sitting with her daughter waiting for prayer following the Sunday evening worship service. We learned that the woman was 88 years of age, and in a lot of joint pain from arthritis. Then the daughter told us that her mom’s femur (thigh bone) had stopped developing properly after one year. We were shocked to see a 4-5 inch difference in thigh length when she lifted her skirt to expose her knees!
Her pain was decreasing after the first time we prayed, so she wanted to try walking. When she stood up on her left leg, her right foot was several inches off the floor. Her pelvis had to drop significantly for her right foot to bear weight, which also created a lot of stress on her spine. It was heartbreaking to watch her walk in the manner she had done for more than 80 years!
We kept praying and marveled as we saw her femur bone grow! Both feet were on the ground, and her pelvis and shoulders were level when she stood up the second time. Her legs were nearly the same length and all pain was gone! She walked normally and strongly as we celebrated her healing.
Note: Her testimony was videotaped by GA Brazil staff that night.
