CLEVELAND -- The reports on healing services have sparked thousands of e-mails and sent viewers to newsnet5.com in droves.

NewsChannel5's Ted Henry said that there are skeptics, people who want more authentications on these claims and people asking for more information about the services.

But he said there’s also a surprising number of people wanting to describe their physical healings after attending the healing services.

A growing number of churches in Greater Cleveland are hosting the healing events, including St. Bernadette on Clague Road in Westlake. Catholics, Protestants, Jews and members of all spiritual traditions are welcome to the events.

Henry: "Bishop, what about people who are not just sick, but are terminally ill? Can they also be healed?"

Bishop Anthony Pilla: "God responds to all human need and not only are the non-terminal illnesses part of the human condition, terminal illness are part of the human condition.

"Does it require a measure of faith? Sure it does. When Moses led the Israelites to the Red Sea, he didn’t say, "Everybody, let's go home, there’s no bridge.' Every now and then you have to take a step of faith. Every now and then is every day."

Henry told the story of Jessie Kicham, who along with her mother Heidi, is a frequent visitor of faith healing services.

NewsChannel5 first reported on Kicham's story five years ago, when she was in a nearly-fatal car accident. Doctors had little hope for her survival.

"They took us aside in a room and they said put her in a nursing home, she’s had a devasting brain injury and she’s going to be a vegatable and there’s really nothing we can do with her," said Jessie's mother, Heidi Kicham.

Jessie Kicham survived – but just barely. She spent four months in a coma. She came out of the coma, and couldn't walk or talk. It was suggested that she go and see faith healer Dr. Issam Nemeh.

"Jessie was in a chair, we went into his offices, she couldn't walk, she couldn't talk, she could hold her head up," said Heidi Kicham. "He looked at Jessie and he said, 'You're going to be OK.'"

Henry reported that since she started attending faith healing sessions, Jessie has shown remarkable improvement.

"She’s walking and she’s talking and she’s not walking by herself but with a cane, and she’s going to college and she’s going to be better and she’s going to be a physical therapist someday," said Heidi Kicham.

The next healing service is at St. Peter and Paul in Garfield Heights at noon on March 13. Get the list of healing services, here.
