I have the unique opportunity to participate with a wonderful ministry here in Greenville. This ministry is called Miracle Hill, and specifically I get to serve with a number of other local chiropractors at the Miracle Hill Rescue Mission. The Rescue Mission serves as the home for a group of men who work through a 6 month program getting their lives back on track. Many of them have physical challenges, and chiropractic care is a drug free way to help these men become more able to do life more abundantly. Two weeks ago, I met a man enrolled in a program at Miracle Hill who had a very inspiring story. He was a Marine veteran who had led a platoon of men during Gulf War I, and as a result of his service had suffered many severe wounds from a rocket propelled grenade blast which struck a Humvee in front of him. This physically imposing man had put it all on the line for me, my family and for all of you reading this blog. His wounds had healed, but the scarring from his injuries continue to plague him with great pain and disability, and this hero could not endure even the gentle chiropractic manual adjusting work I do for every other man at the mission. I checked with the director, Mr. Slocum and asked if I could come back later on in the week and bring along my new ProAdjuster Vision portable adjusting instrument from my office.
This past Friday at 1:00 in the afternoon, I arrived at Miracle Hill with the ProAdjuster device and set up my “portable office”. After approximately 20 minutes of working with my Marine hero, Mr. Slocum and I saw something that had rarely happened prior to that day. We saw a broad smile cross the face of this brave man. He reported that a significant amount of his pain was gone, and he was moving his head, neck and shoulder more than he had for a very long time without pain! I certainly don’t believe that I will be able to alleviate all of this man’s physical challenges, but if I can serve as a small part of allowing him to re-engage into the society he swore
to protect, and almost made the ultimate sacrifice for, then my purchase of this equipment was well worth it. I will continue to pray for this man, and this ministry, and I invite you to do the same.
