Christopher Gunderson's Miracle: From Feeding Tubes to Full Healing

A Life Defined by Medical Struggle

• 👶 Christopher Gunderson was born with chronic pseudo obstruction syndrome, a congenital defect causing complete gastroparesis, meaning his stomach was paralyzed and couldn't process food.
• 🍽️ For 16 years, he survived on formula through feeding tubes, unable to digest solid food, experiencing severe heartburn and frequent hospitalizations due to infections and weight loss.
• ⚡ Despite being an active child, he struggled with energy levels, often feeling dizzy and fatigued due to insufficient nutrition.
• 💧 Liquids could only quench thirst temporarily; beneficial hydration and nutrition had to be administered through a feeding tube into his small intestine.

A Turning Point Through Faith

• 🙏 In November 2011, Christopher's mother, after hearing evangelist Bruce Van Natta's testimony, was prompted by God to speak with him about her son's condition.
• 🗣️ Van Natta, who also had a miraculous healing testimony, invited the family to his church the following Sunday.
• 🌟 During the service, Christopher experienced a pulsating sensation in his abdomen, which he interpreted as God preparing him for healing, and he vowed to share his testimony if healed.
• ⚡ A powerful, electric shock sensation went through his body during prayer, which he described as God jump-starting his stomach.

The Miracle Unfolds

• 🍽️ After the prayer, Christopher initially felt no different but later that night, at a basketball game dinner, he ate a full meal of Chinese food without pain and, for the first time, his body processed it.
• 💧 He continued using his feeding tubes for two weeks out of disbelief, but eventually stopped, realizing he felt hunger for the first time.
• ✅ Doctors were skeptical but happy, with his GI specialist noting his recovery and advising to keep the feeding tubes in for six months, which Christopher eventually had removed himself.

Life After Healing

• 💪 Over a decade later, Christopher is stronger, healthier, and enjoys eating and socializing without feeling like an outcast.
• 💖 His perspective on God shifted from a distant entity to a personal relationship, fostering a continuous walk and a deeper understanding of grace and forgiveness.
• 📖 He remains committed to sharing his testimony as a testament to God's power and the reality of supernatural healing.
