Members of a small Brooklyn church held a vigil for Dr. Craig Spencer, the city’s first Ebola patient, this morning.
Spiritual leaders and congregants gathered at God’s Miracle House of Power, Praise and Worship in Flatbush to pray for his recovery.
They say they focused on a picture of Spencer while praying to send him what they describe as “healing energy.”
Congregants say even one person’s prayers can make a difference.
“We are going to pray for Doctor Spencer, all at once, send him love and praise of healing. And I believe without a shadow of a question – that we will reach him wherever he is today,” said Sister Janet Lovell, the church’s founder.
“We’re going into corporal prayer where everybody’s mood and spirit is in the same place. We focus and we just in on that—delivering, casting out or whatever the cause is, that’s what we are focused on,” said congregant Alice Tillman Danes.
“We’re supposed to pray for each other. We’re supposed to pray for one another. And that’s our way of saying thanks to him,” said congregant Yvonne Massop.
Congregants plan to meet every Sunday to pray for Spencer and other Ebola victims, as well as the doctors and nurses who are caring for them.
