“My mother is sick. Can you help her?” Kaak asked over the phone.

“I’ll come see her this evening when you come home from your field,” I assured her.

Later, after examining Kaak’s mother and looking at the medications the doctors had already given her, I was stumped. I had no idea what could be causing her sickness. She had been to the hospital a few days before, but the doctors hadn’t been able to help her, so she refused to go back.

“Let’s ask Chief God to heal you,” I suggested. “I don’t know what’s wrong, but He does.”

“Okay,” Kaak and her mother agreed.

Several days later, I saw Kaak again. “Is your mother better?” I asked.

“Yes,” she said smiling.

Thank you Lord for healing her, I prayed.
