I am thrilled to be alive, to be well and to be reunited with my family. As I lay in bed in Liberia for the following nine days, getting sicker and weaker each day, I prayed that God<br /><a href="" name="more"></a>would help me be faithful, even in my illness.”<br />He also thanked the millions of people around the would who prayed for him while he was being treated.<br />“And I prayed that in my life or in my death that he would be glorified. I did not know then, but have learned since, that there were thousands, maybe even millions of people around the world praying for me throughout that week and even till today. I cannot thank you enough for your prayers and your support, but what I can tell you is that I serve a faithful God who answers prayers.”<br />According to the World Health Organisation, over 1,300 people have been killed by the virus in West Africa, and more than 2,473 people have contracted the disease.</span></div>
