I was looking for a religion that heals

Daniele M. Fagan Wright

I grew up in Le Havre, France. My mother was sick for a long time, and when she passed on, her Bible was all that I had left of her. When I read it, I was comforted by the stories of Christ Jesus’ healing ministry. I felt inspired by the guidance from this master Christian teacher.

Later in life, my profession as a fashion designer took me to Paris, where I also performed as an actress as a hobby. But I never forgot those beautiful healings described in the Bible.

I was looking for a religion that heals as Jesus did. On my way to work one day, I went to the doorstep of a church, thinking that I might find the answers I was seeking there, but stopped. I heard very clearly in my head, “No.” In my heart, I knew that I wouldn’t find answers there and needed to keep searching.
