My name is Charles Aurelien DIE. I am originally from Ivory Coast, a French speaking country located in the western part of the African Continent.
Since my birth, I have been suffering from Sickle cell Anemia disease, which is very common in the Sub-Saharan African countries. It is a hereditary disease that is transmitted from parents to children during pregnancy. This disease is having 2 variants: SS and AS form. I was having the AS form.
The major crisis in this disease is that you loose your blood red cells as soon as you are extremely tired. This can lead to a coma, and if not taken care of quickl,y to death. There is no cure for this disease; only tablets are available to relieve the joint pains, which come with the extreme fatigue.
I had been dealing with this Sickle Cell disease from an early age, and it had become like a part of me, carrying my tablets all over the world, making sure I had them even for a short trip, paying attention not to get tired (which is not easy to do!), shipping my tablets from one continent to another… till I came to know of Recon Center.
In fact , I even did not make mention of my disease to anybody, until one day, when I faced a crisis. The same day our Pastor called to inquire of me casually, which is when I told him what was going on and what I had been suffering from. He prayed for me on the phone and requested me to have a check up done, which I did. The doctor then advised me to take a blood test, which I agreed to do.
At the time of collecting the results, the nurse informed me that I was not suffering at all of any Sickle Celle Anemia disease and that there is no trace of the same in my blood. You can imagine how surprised you can be, when you know what you have gone through all your life, all the hospital reports and even the hospitalizations… but YES THE LORD HEALED ME RIGHT THERE.
Having received such big gift from GOD, can I sit and keep it for myself! Of course no, this is why through Recon Center, I would love to give back what I have FREELY received.
