Testimonies

A Testimony by Abe Kosh

A mother and a father recall the frightening medical situation that resulted in their healthy, active teenage boy having his limbs amputated to save his life.

Mothers and fathers want their children to have the opportunity to be kids to enjoy their childhood and adolescence. Parents want nothing more than for their children to be happy and healthy. If anything disrupts these two desires, parents can be devastated and left searching for answers. 

Mathias Uribe was a happy, healthy and active 14-year-old boy who dreamt of becoming an engineer one day. Unfortunately, the young man’s health took a dramatic turn for the worse, seemingly out of the blue. 

What was first thought to be the flu resulted in Mathias coming down with pneumonia, a rash and a redness all over his body. He was transported to the emergency room, where medical professionals found the young man suffering from a bacterial infection. 

Once at the hospital, things went from bad to worse. His oxygen levels were a bit low, and he went into cardiac arrest.

Doctors, according to his father, Edgar Uribe, tried to raise and stabilize his vital signs. The 14-year-old was placed on life support. Doctors then told Mathias’ parents the worst possible news a parent could ever hear. The doctors working on their son said, “It was possible that Mathias might not make it that night.”

The only way to keep the young man alive, suffering from toxic shock syndrome, was to amputate his legs and hands. It was shocking to hear, to say the least.

However, Mathias’ parents are grateful to still have their son with them. 

“He is a miracle,” Edgar said. “And we expressed that to him. I said, ‘We have to be grateful. You are alive. Mathias Uribe, you’re all here. Your heart, your mind, you are all here.’”

Isaiah 41:10 “Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.”

Grammy Award-winning Christian musician Kirk Franklin has finally found something he has been searching for his entire life: his biological father.

Parents are necessary for any and every child’s growth and development. Parents, as God intends, provide children with the required love, care, support, structure and discipline they need to survive and function in life. 

However, like a band or in a church, where everyone has their part and role, so it is in a family. A mother can give a child certain things that a father cannot. On the other hand, a father can help meet a child’s emotional and psychological needs that a mother cannot. Remove one of those people from a child’s life, and they can experience several emotional, spiritual and psychological issues. 

Singer Kirk Franklin, who was adopted as a child, understands this situation all too well. His entire life, the 53-year-old singer has searched for his biological father. In a documentary posted on Kirk’s official YouTube page, he finally learns that his father is a man who lives in the same city that he works in, only minutes from his studio.

Early in the clip, Kirk is on the phone with the doctor, who breaks the news to him. The man, Rick Hubbard, who submitted a DNA test on his own accord, is his father. The doctor tells Kirk there is a 99.99 percent probability of paternity.

Kirk is completely overwhelmed, unable to process the news he has been waiting to hear his entire life. 

Later in the clip, near the 16-minute mark, Kirk meets the man who is his father. It’s understandably an emotional meeting. 

In the video, Rick opens an envelope that Kirk hands him and is immediately overcome with emotion, burying his face in his hands and crying. 

There are tears, hugs and apologies between the two men.

“He didn’t even know,” Kirk said. “He didn’t even know he had a son. And I didn’t even know I had a father. That close, I was that close. I was that close to having a daddy. I wanted a daddy so bad.”

Ephesians 6:4 “And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.”

The increasing trend in rates of depression and consequently, bad outcomes can be traced to a lack of awareness and knowing the right thing to do. In this video, I share the early warning signs you should look out for and immediate interventions to help with cope and live a quality life.

One mother is warning other parents about the danger of magnets in refillable water balloons after her 8-year-old girl was rushed to the hospital screaming in pain.

Parents hope for and desire nothing more than for their children to enjoy a safe, happy and carefree childhood. Whenever that is not the case, whether it be due to a disease, an illness or some other reason, parents can be left feeling distraught and hopeless. Unfortunately, one mother in Ohio experienced that feeling of helplessness, and she’s now warning other parents.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Kelley Whitty recalls the traumatizing and scary situation that resulted in her 8-year-old daughter, Leah, having to be sedated at the hospital. Medical professionals then worked to remove six magnets from the child’s nose.

Kelley states that the situation began innocently enough after Leah had finished enjoying time in the pool at a friend’s house. 

“I got a call from the friend’s mom, and she was like, ‘Hey, we were all in the pool.’ Leah got out, grabbed a towel, wiped her face and just started screaming,’” Kelley said.

No one was sure what was happening with the child. Leah mentioned she was experiencing “burning and stinging in her nose.” Unsure of what was happening, Kelley took her daughter to the hospital for help.

At first, those medical professionals were baffled as well. But as they continued working, they spotted something shiny in the youngster’s nose. The child had six magnets in her nostrils – four on one side and two on the other. The magnets had “bonded in each side of her nose,” Kelley said.

“Nobody ever wants to see their children hurt or in pain,” Kelley said. “And then the fact that I kind of sit back in the corner of the room and watch these doctors and nurses lay on top of her and try to remove these. I kind of had to comfort her from a distance. That was really hard.”

A doctor in the clip stated that if someone were to swallow multiple magnets, they could potentially try and bond and may damage tissues or intestines. 

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”

Christian musician and the lead singer of the band CAIN, Logan Cain, stated how he has been able to humble himself and love and help someone battling addiction. 

The world is full of imperfect, flawed people. There are individuals all around who are fighting personal battles. Whether they are struggling with alcohol, pornography, gambling or something else entirely, no one is perfect. People have problems and addictions. 

Logan, in a clip posted on YouTube, mentioned how he first dealt with and interacted with the woman who would eventually become his wife. He says that his wife had an “irregular relationship with alcohol.” He mentions a situation, before they were married, when she blacked out outside a football stadium and woke up in an ambulance.

Logan admits that her issue with alcohol was something totally foreign to him. He states that he did not understand the concept of addiction as a disease. He couldn’t understand how someone couldn’t just kick their addiction. Did they love the addiction more than him?

However, Logan stated that he had to change his thinking.

“This thing sits at the driver's seat of someone’s life,” Logan said. “And it, you know, this isn’t them choosing something over you. And I think, for me, once I was able to get there mentally, you’re so much more likely to, like, lock arms and walk through this thing together.”

He added that when loving someone battling addiction, there is a goal that everyone must have in mind. It’s one that removes self-centered thinking from someone's battle with addiction. 

“What we truly have to hope for is that that person falls in love with Jesus, and ends up looking more like Jesus, not more like me,” Logan said. 

Again, Logan reiterates how important it is to help someone with addiction and make it about them and not us. 

“Once I was able to humble myself and like I said, realize that that the best thing I can do for someone that is drowning is to get in and swim with them, “Logan said. “Then it was no longer about me. Their recovery was not about me, and that was kind of when the switch flipped.”

Galatians 6:2 “Take on yourselves one another’s troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.”

One of the biggest, most recognizable names in Christian music, Lauren Daigle, who has experienced loneliness and depression, shares her story and how she hopes to help others undergoing something similar. 

The world is a sad, dangerous and lonely place. Many in society are lonely, feeling as if they have no one to turn to or talk to when hardships and trying situations occur. This is a situation and a feeling that Lauren knows all too well.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the “You Say” singer opens up about her experiences with loneliness and how that impacted her mental health. Specifically, she talked about her life before the pandemic and how quickly everything in her career and life was moving. Then 2020 happened, and everything dramatically changed.

She states that in addition to loneliness, she experienced bouts of depression and anxiety. Her life was "absolutely spinning out of control." She started therapy and saw a neurologist to help her through this difficult period. However, Lauren says that she is grateful for this time in her life. 

“Through the panic and through the anxiety, I said, ‘God, you have to return to me the joy of my salvation,’” Lauren said. ‘Like, the true joy. I don’t want to be, I don’t want to sit here and go through life just maintaining. I want to go through life with exuberance, with zeal, with passion.’”

Lauren mentions that when people let the Creator of the universe come into their lives and do that, it can completely change their perspective. 

“And when you allow God to come into those broken places, and say, ‘I’ll return to you the joy of your salvation,’ it is, like, this beautiful lens gets added to your eyes,” Lauren said. “And you’re able to see through, it’s like a glory filter. Like walking through life and seeing the Kingdom versus the things in the natural. Like looking at scenarios and saying, ‘Oh, I can run into that scenario because I know who has me.’”

In the clip, Lauren mentioned how she was motivated by Paul and his words to the Romans when he wrote about rejoicing even during suffering. 

Lauren says that despite all her fame and recognition, she desires to use all that to assist her fellow man. She wants to help others feel less lonely.

“I want to be someone who is known as helping eradicate loneliness,” Lauren said. “Because I remember, before I was ever doing music, being in high school, being in junior high, l would look for the lonely person in the room. For whatever reason, God highlighted loneliness to me.”

Lauren rightly mentions that talking to others, caring about their needs and seeing and meeting others where they are is in keeping with God’s commandment to love your neighbor as yourself. 

Mark 12:31 “The second is this, ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.’ There is none other commandment greater than these.”

One woman, Julie Chen Moonves, the former host of “The Talk” and “Big Brother” talked about how she came into a personal relationship with God during a difficult period in her life – personally and professionally.

Life is a series of ups and downs. It comes with unexpected twists and turns, sometimes with detours that take us to places we never expected to be. These struggles, hardships and trials will often cause people to reach out and search for answers. 

In Julie Chen Moonves’ case, trials and difficulties in her personal and professional life led her to a personal relationship with the Creator of the universe. Julie’s husband, the former head of CBS, Les Moonves, was accused of sexual misconduct by several women. In a clip posted on YouTube, Julie talks about herself before and after finding God.

“Julie Chen, before she found God, was a self-absorbed, career-minded, vain, gossipy, fun to be with,” Julie said. “But probably kind of a shallow person.”

She mentioned how much she has changed since finding faith and starting a walk with the Lord.

“Julie Chen Moonves, who now knows the Lord, is someone who wants to help others,” she said. “Who wants to look at everyone with a soft heart.”

Also, in the clip, Julie was asked about prayer and whether she believes that she is actually communicating with God. 

“Yes, but what I love is I do not need to come to a church or sit before a cross to pray,” Julie said.

During the interview, Julie even prayed. She thanked the Lord for allowing her to live another day and “come together.”

Julie also stated that even when people find Christ, as she did, that does not mean it’s going to be nothing but rainbows and roses.

“We all go through hard times in this world and our life,” Julie said. “And mine are not over just because I found Christ. I think we need to keep our focus on Him.”

1 John 1:9 “If we say openly that we have done wrong, he is upright and true to his word, giving us forgiveness of sins and making us clean from all evil.”

Letter

One woman, Emily Cain, the wife of the lead singer of the band CAIN, shared her stunning and moving testimony of overcoming a drinking problem and finding the Lord.

The world is often a dark, sad and lonely place. It’s inhabited by fallen and lost people who desperately need God’s comfort and healing. No one is perfect. Everyone has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. But through Jesus Christ, forgiveness and redemption are possible. 

Even before she had her first drink, alcohol impacted Emily's life. It made for an unpleasant and chaotic childhood.

“The disease of alcoholism runs really heavily in my family,” Emily said in a video posted on YouTube. “And that caused a lot of chaos as a child growing up around that.”

However, those early unpleasant childhood experiences did not keep Emily from trying alcohol. In fact, she mentions that she started drinking before she could even drive. At just 12 years old, Emily said she began drinking. 

“I started drinking when I was 12 years old,” Emily said. “I took my first drink. Whenever I could get it, whenever I could get away, any way to escape, I would, even as young as being in middle school.”

Over the years, Emily’s issues accelerated and multiplied. In addition to her drinking, Emily experienced anxiety and panic attacks while in college. 

After graduating from the University of Kentucky with a nursing degree, Emily secured her dream job. She was a labor and delivery nurse at the University of Kentucky Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky. However, she still wasn’t fulfilled. She felt like something was missing.

“And I thought, like, ‘This is it. Like, I’ve done it.’ I overcame all these circumstances and here I am. I’ve got my dream job, but why do I still hate myself? Why do I still feel so sad and empty and lonely?”

These feelings of emptiness and sadness caused Emily to drink even more. During this time, her future husband, Logan, reached out on Instagram. The two bonded over cheerleading and became fast friends. 

Logan then downloaded the Bible app on her phone. She was reluctant and resistant, believing she would never use that application. However, she then began attending church services. 

But soon enough, Emily slowly began drinking again. But one night, after a shift, while driving home, God changed Emily’s life forever. She began thinking that maybe God was for her. Maybe she was designed for something greater.

“And again, these thoughts, they’re just, like, incessant. They just keep on coming, and I couldn’t get the thoughts to quiet down,” Emily said. “So, I was just, like, ‘OK, OK, God, if you’re real, then I’ll follow you. But I need you to show me because I don’t have anything left. I don’t know where else to go or what else I’m gonna do.’”

She felt the presence of God in her car that night. While driving down the road, the Lord met her and changed her heart and life. 

Jeremiah 17:14 “Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you are my praise.”

One man, born without limbs, shared his powerful and inspiring testimony about how God has touched his life and is using him to win over people for Jesus Christ.

The world is often a sad, dark, dangerous and lonely place. Life is not a fair experience. Everyday living is hard enough and is made exceedingly more so by the cruel, ignorant and horrible things people say and do to one another. 

Nick Vujicic knows all about the often harsh realities of life and about people’s mean, nasty remarks. In a video posted on YouTube, Nick, who has no arms and legs, explains how he went from attempting suicide as a child to winning souls for Christ.

Nick mentioned that after he was born, the doctor actually apologized to his parents.

“When the doctor saw me for the first time, they apologized to my parents that they did not pick it up in the ultrasound and give them an option to abort me,” Nick said. 

Early in his life, at just 8 years old, Nick went into a depression. It was a dark period that lasted five years, ending in him attempting to take his own life. He was angry at the world and at God. He wanted a miracle, and no miracle ever happened.

But at 13, an injury to his foot made him come to a conclusion that changed his life.

“And I realized I gotta be thankful for what I have instead of being angry for what I don’t have,” Nick said. 

Then, in high school, a janitor told Nick that after witnessing him speak, he'd travel the world talking about his life’s story. That janitor was right. 

While Nick says he may never receive arms and legs, he already has the biggest miracle of all: salvation. Jesus Christ has saved his soul. 

The Lord has also blessed him with a beautiful wife and four wonderful children. 

Nick adds that he does not represent those without arms or legs. But instead, he represents “healed, brokenhearted people to let the brokenhearted know that you can be healed, and you can be a miracle, too.”

Psalm 66:16 “Come and hear, all you that fear God, and I will declare what he has done for my soul.”
