A pathologist who puts divine healing under the microscope

Dr. Fidel Fernandez, a pathologist from the city of Zamboanga in the Philippines, spends his days as studying diseases under the microscope, but he also is a believer in divine healing.

He was one of 400 doctors and medical professionals from 30 different countries who came to the Ukrainian capital city of Kiev for the 6th International Christian Medical Conference held on October 30-31, 2009, to explore whether miracles still happen today and, if they do, to provide medical data to prove them.

So I asked this charming doctor if he had ever experienced a personal miracle in his life.

“Well,” he said, “the best example would be my son who was born with a congenital disease. Before he was born, the doctors told me that he could only live possibly one year. We were pushed against the wall and my wife Leticia, who is a nurse, and myself, just relied on prayer and he's now twenty-two years old so that's a great miracle for me.”

I then asked Leticia why she had come to the “Spirituality and Medicine” gathering in Kiev.

“I have worked with the World Christian Doctors Network (WCDN) since 2005 and I've become active in the organization and have even invited doctors and other medical workers to attend the conference.

“I am finding that there are a lot of doctors who believe in miracles, but some others are still skeptics.”

That is why this WCDN conference took place. Various medical doctors from around the world believe that miracles should be provable and so several of them brought their medical data which was printed out in a book and also shown on a screen and then took questions from their peers.
