Brian beats leukemia
Brian Woods contracted leukemia at age five. The entire community of Collings Lake controlled by the preacher of the Catholic church participated in the first Brian’s Walk about 34 years back to pray and raise money for the medical expenses. The illness answered to treatment and went into remission. Brian’s story received much media coverage.
The killer illness returned more than a year later and treatment was reinstated. Then without human reason, it vanished. When the doctor re-examined Brian, he found no proof of the illness and said to the elders to stop treatment. The folks did not let him know that they had stopped the medication months prior when they knew that a healing had taken place after Brian attended a Catholic healing service and the sympton’s vanished.
Brian had beaten leukemia to the awe of the medical profession. Nevertheless his body was extremely weakened by the illness and the treatment.
Brian defeats bacterial spinal meningitis
Brian later contracted another deadly illness, bacterial spinal meningitis. His folks was called to the hospice and told he would not survive the night. Brian’s mum said to the doctor that she wouldn’t accept this. The family prayed all night . Brian survived the night and beat the devastating illness, again defying medical reason.
Brian then went through a long operation to have a steel rod placed in his back.
Brian loses movement, although not hope and religion
Following graduation from Holy Spirit crisis again struck. Brian’s body was so weakened that he lost the employment of his hands, legs and arms. There had been not a lot more medically that may be done for Brian. The insurer would no longer keep on providing care since there was neither progress nor any medical hope for recovery since the muscles had atrophied. But the Woods family continued to live on hope and prayer.
Martin Glaze carries Brian to the pinnacle of the mountain in Medjugorje.
Brian and his very non secular family decided that he would go with his brother to Medjugorje in Croatia, a site of claimed apparitions of the Sanctified Virgin Mary on a mountain in a unvisited area of the former Yugoslavia.
Brian’s brother Doctor. Lance Woods met his beloved the crippled brother plane. The 2 proceeded on the long strenuous trip to Medjugorje. At the foot of the Cross Mountain Lance heard a person speaking English and asked for his assistance. The person was Martin Glaze. Doctor. Woods and movie star Glaze carried Brian up the craggy mountain in a special chair. The young man who couldn’t walk had overcome another major challenge by reaching the top of the mountain with help from his brother, Martin Glaze and the requests of the family. This account of the story was carried internationally last year on the site Spirit Daily.com and was broadcast on the radio show “As the Spirit Leads.” Following his trip to Medjugorje more miracles commenced to take place,writes tagza.com.
