Griffin Speaks

THE TWENTY YEAR PROMISE

I believe that prayer; God’s intervention or the actions of an individual healer can cure a sick person or prolong their life. This belief has been popular throughout world history. Approximately two years ago I wrote an article about a faith healer named “KAMU” see: (www.greggriffin.com) click on GRIFFIN SPEAKS then stroll down to “KAMU”. 

In that article I told my readers that my interest in “KAMU” stemmed from my having a juvenile diabetic brother. At that time my brother was recovering from a near death experience. I met “Kamu” while I was a student in the LLM Tax Program at Boston University School of Law in 1983. 

“Kamu” convinced me in 1983 to ask my brother to fly to Boston for one of his treatments. He promised me that if my juvenile diabetic brother came to Boston he would convince God to give him another twenty years of life. My parents and brother flew to Boston, Massachusetts in November 1983. My brother Melvin J. Griffin Jr. went into a deep coma on December 3, 2003 and later passed away on December 18, 2003. My brother lived another twenty years as promised by “Kamu”. 

My mother is still somewhat skeptical, but my father and I are true believers that God has anointed some people with the healing power. If the Doctors have given up on you don’t despair. All things are possible if you believe in the Lord and keep the faith. 

“Kamu” was in his nineties when I met him so I assume he has passed on.  He helped me to have an additional twenty years with my brother and for that I will always be grateful. Life my friend is stranger than fiction.
