Once a little boy running and playing with his friends, to a sick child that could hardly walk, Michael found himself wondering if he would live to his adult years or be another child who died in Sudan too soon. With the lack of medical facilities and war on every corner, Michael’s family made the brave decision to flee to Kenya in hopes of finding medical support. After a two year journey, Michael was finally diagnosed and treated, however, he would forever be wheelchair bound. How does one in a wheelchair survive in Sudan where you must be ready to run for your life at any moment? On today's show Michael Panther, founder of Living with Hope Ministries, shares his story of his parent's courage, doctor's wisdom, and a divine miracle from God.
