TOLUCA CITY, MEXICO (ANS) -- Dr. Zipporah W. Ngumi is a respected Kenyan doctor who believes in praying for her patients and says she has seen many healings.

"I have prayed and God has answered those prayers and intervened very specifically in the hospital where I work," she told me in an interview.

"God, though Jesus Christ, is the healer of His people from spiritual, physical and emotional sickness.

"He forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases - Psalm 103:3 - and Christian doctors will witness the healing and saving power of Jesus Christ as they pray with patients in their surgeries."

And now, after a marathon journey from Nairobi, Kenya, she has joined some 350 Christian doctors and medical professionals from 24 countries for the 10th Annual World Christian Doctors Network (WCDN) Conference being held in Toluca City, Mexico, June 14-15, 2013.
This conference, which has as its theme "Spirituality in Medicine," was held last year in her home city of Nairobi and she chaired the well-attended event, with people coming from all over Africa.
During that gathering, two fascinating cases were presented. One was of a lady healed from a fractured femur and another concerned a man in a wheelchair who, after prayer, stood up and walked.

I then asked Dr. Ngumi, who is currently a lecturer in the University of Nairobi School of Medicine in Anesthetics and Critical Care Medicine and practices the same at Kenyatta National Hospital, to share her own personal story. She said, "I am a Christian who came to salvation as a teenager in high school. I grew in my faith through mentorship in the Medical School Christian Union and Nairobi Baptist Church where I continue to worship."

Then, talking about her continent, she said "Africa needs to hear more about divine healing to counteract deep rooted witchcraft in many communities. Pastors and doctors are indeed custodians of healing through the word and power of God and they should be encouraged to pray for the sick wherever they are, in churches, hospitals and homes.

"Africa's doctors need to learn more about divine healing so that they can be reminded that they are partners with God in the ministry of healing. Doctors treat patients, but healing come from God alone."
