Dr. Chloe Swart collects 605 testimonies of healing related to intercessory prayer

Dr. Chloe Swart, director of Alpha UK, collected 605 testimonies of healing related to intercessory prayer for her doctoral research.

The accounts include reports of health improvements occurring in workplaces, gyms, and daily settings, often through prayer offered by friends, family members, or colleagues. Approximately 60 percent of the reports involve ailments such as back pain, elbow problems, eczema, or warts, while the remaining testimonies describe more serious conditions, including cancer. Swart noted that some individuals experienced spiritual effects, such as a sense of being loved, even when physical pain did not subside immediately after prayer.
