FORT WORTH, Texas — In an exclusive Christian Chronicle story…
Ebola patient Dr. Kent Brantly released from hospital
'Today is a miraculous day. I’m thrilled to be alive, to be well and to be reunited with my family,' the medical missionary says.
Just a few weeks ago, the prognosis for Dr. Kent Brantly — a Church of Christ member who contracted the often-deady Ebola virus while serving in Liberia — was described as “grave.”
But today, the medical missionary whose illness sparked prayers by Christians around the world was released from Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
