John W. Roehmer with contributions from George Michael Roehmer

Truly, Christian Science is the golden thread running through my life. I was blessed by having a mother, a very sincere Christian Scientist, who saw that we attended a Christian Science Sunday School and that we practiced Science in our home and daily life.

When I was drafted for World War II, I was placed in a limited service category because of the results of a required physical examination. Later I volunteered for the Air Force and flying duty, but I was told that my medical record prohibited me from such activity. I called a Christian Science practitioner for help in praying about the situation. The condition was soon healed, and I passed all the Air Force tests and training classes and was certified as a navigator. I am so grateful for the protection that I experienced during combat service, along with the members of my crew, as I related in a Sentinel testimony published in 1944.

My wife and I were blessed with four fine sons. Christian Science was also their shield and protection—from every childhood ill. If one of the children did become ill, Christian Science quickly healed him, either through our prayerful work alone or with the help in prayer of a practitioner.
