Testimonial

Jorian Clarke

I knew God’s care was reliable because we had experienced healings in our family of problems that were as frightening as this one...The Christian Science nurse I spoke with was unafraid, and her calmness, based on her confidence in God and expectation of healing, helped to reduce my fear.
