Ebola Survivor Nancy Writebol Wows the Media With Her First Televised Appearance

Teresa Neumann : Sep 4, 2014  Staff – Christian News Service

At the very depth of her disease, when she wasn't sure if she was going to make it, Writebol said the Lord asked her, "Am I enough for you, Nancy?"

Many major news outlets carried the broadcast live, with anchors and reporters across the board gushing about Writebol's incredible healing and faith.

The most common remarks centered on how healthy and glowing Writebol looked, the faith she expressed, and how incredibly at peace she appeared.

"Don't you just want to reach into the screen and hug her!" exclaimed one CNN reporter, shaking her head in wonderment.

The media also appeared stunned by the Writebol's desire to return to missionary work wherever the Lord leads them.

Indeed, click here to see how Mrs. Writebol, with her beaming husband standing lovingly at her side, could scarcely contain her joy.

Excerpts of the news conference obtained from multiple sources quote Writebol as saying:

Nancy Writebol"I got out of bed, and David came forward to give me a hug. I knew how dangerous that was. I told him, it's going to be okay. I had no clue what was going to happen, and yet there was no fear. I thought, whether I live or whether I die, it's going to be okay." (Photo via CBN News)

Asked about the experience of being flown home to the US to receive treatment, Writebol credits God with getting her through the ordeal as she was extremely sick during the transport process.

She recalled thinking, "I don't even know if I'm going to make it to the US [but] the Lord came near. 'Am I enough?' the Lord asked her.
"My response to the Lord was," she said, "'Yes, You are enough.'"

Since her recovery, Writebol has been asked whether she believes that it was the experimental drug, supportive care, the Liberian or US medical staff, or her faith that saved her life.

"My answer to that question is 'all of the above,'" Writebol said. "I want to say first, to God be the glory, because He is the one who gives us life and numbers our days. But God uses doctors, and God uses experimental drugs. We don't know whether the drug helped or worked. We don't know whether it was the supportive care, but I'm telling you it was very, very necessary. And we are seeing wonderful results just from supportive care in West Africa."
