In Rebecca’s senior year in high school, she was diagnosed with a rare blood disease, a disease which is almost always fatal. After going through an emergency surgery, being in a coma and being paralyzed, the specialist gave her parents no hope for recovery. Even if Rebecca was to live, he predicted that she would be in a vegetative state. But God had other plans.

Her parents took their daughter’s condition to the Lord. They asked their supporters to pray and also requested prayer when the local paper asked what could be done. Articles appealing for prayer were soon in papers around the country.
