Prayer is an important part of her treatment for seriously ill patients, insists Sister Cristina.
in My name receives Me.”
(Matthew 18:5)
Sister Cristina’s caring, Christ-like nature is a balm to the little ones who come to her, starving and sick. Personal care is very important for the children to regain their health, she says.
When Lester arrived at Sister Cristina’s nutritional center, he was on the brink of death. One hospital refused to treat him, telling his distraught parents, “He isn’t worth taking care of because he is going to die.” But Sister Cristina believes in God’s healing power. Through constant prayer and hard work, she saved his life.
Lester is now a healthy, thriving child who runs about, flashes a rare smile at visitors and acts like any normal toddler. Through your support, you help save starving children from certain death. These precious little ones who were doomed by others are now living examples of the power of your love for Christ and the poor.
