Would David Ever Walk?

Share This article

3-year-old David has clubfeet and has never been able to walk.

“I carry him everywhere, even while I do my farm work,” says Bertha, his mother. “I worry about him, because if he cannot walk, he cannot work. I pray constantly that God will help him.”

When David's mother heard about Plaster House, a ministry supported by CBN, she and David travelled cross country by bus to come to us.

“I was really nervous, but when I arrived I saw many other parents with children like mine,” says Bertha. “I knew this place was an answer from the Lord.”

CBN paid for David’s surgery and casts and provided him and is mother with a place to stay and everything they needed during his recovery.

“Being here is like being on holiday,” says Bertha. “We get lots of rest. It has completely changed my son’s life.”

Soon, the casts came off. At night, for the next few years, he’ll wear corrective shoes that will completely straighten his feet.  But already, David is up and running.

“The day David walked for the first time,” says Bertha. “I felt like he could now finally spread his wings like a bird and fly. It's hard for me to keep up with him now. I arrived carrying him, and now he can run and play.  I thank God for this miracle.  May God bless you for helping us!”
