MIRACLE IN ABIDJAN, COTE D’IVOIRE – JAN 26, 1992
By the time Dr. Gary Parker saw 4-year-old Mobio Bienvenu at the screen in Cote d’Ivoire, the firm rubbery tumor on the left side of his face had grown to the size of a small fist. When Bienvenu came to the ship, Dr. Parker prayed for him, well aware that the tumor might be incurable. A small biopsy was taken for identification by a local pathologist and the tiny cut given 2 stitches.
When Bienvenu return for a checkup, Dr. Parker did not recognize him. The tumor was gone. His only indication that it was Bienvenu was the mother excitedly pointing to her son. In amazement, as he examined Bienvenu, Dr. Parker found only a slight swelling where the tumor had been. 2 more visits over the next 5 weeks showed no reappearance of the tumor. Dr. Parker concludes that Bienvenu’s recover is no less than miraculous.
MIRACLE IN CONAKRY, GUINEA, OCTOBER 1, 1992. For the 100s of blind, lame and disfigured people at the ship's surgical screening site in Conakry, Guinea, pressing together hoping to be healed. For the woman whose eye Dr. Bob Dyer had examined, convinced her retina was destroyed. How his assistant, Diedre Graham RN, prayed with fervent tears, and when Dr. Dyer looked again the retina was fine. "It's a miracle!" Diedre Graham, RN said.
