is in a line of work somepeople have never heard of.
Muscle activation techniqueseeks to strengthen
and restore function to weak muscles.
- Muscle activation techniques process
was such a key element to that because
most people are dealing with things
in their orthopedic system
in their muscular skeletal system.
- [Narrator] Chris'spassion for good health
began when he battled leukemia at age 15.
He recovered fully,and in his mid-twenties
he accepted Christ, and felt called
to bring healing to others.
Starting out Chris realized he
needed guidance on howto grow his business.
- I was seeking the Lord about how I could
achieve the next level of blessing
and expansion that he had for me.
And that's when he really began
to speak to me about giving.
And that if I wanted to have a lot
of resources under my control,
then I needed to keep and open hand
and I needed to be willingto release those things
if and when he told me to release them.
- [Narrator] One Sunday, Chris saw the
opportunity to do just that.
He was in church listening
to missionaries to Africa.
- And the Lord justgripped my heart that day
and he said you need to give
and you need to give extravagantly.
- [Narrator] Chris felt led to give $2000.
Which was most of his savings.
- And so I was really wrestling with him
during that hour in church that day.
But, he gave me this piecethat if I trusted him
he would do something awesome.
And so I gave that check.
- [Narrator] Within a fewdays Chris got a new client
who had seen an articleabout him in a the paper.
- She got up off the table and she said
she felt amazing.
And this is a woman that had Fibromyalgia.
She immediately bought my biggest session
of packages that day, it was $1200.
- [Narrator] That oneappointment lead to many
referrals, which leadto many more clients.
He was even contacted byprofessional athletes.
- So I got 15 maybe 20 clients in a month.
I had the most profitablemonth I'd ever had
and it was just mindblowing what the Lord did.
- [Narrator] It also led Chris to
become a regular tither.
Within five years he saw his income
rise by more than 75%.
Then he and his wife wereintroduced to CBN's Superbook.
The animated bible stories were
perfect for their then five year old son.
- And Christian fell in love with them.
I mean my son absolutely loves Superbook.
And he actually looked the mirror that
they'll bring back to the present day
and apply it to the situation
that they had set up in the beginning.
I think that's really cool way to
present these stories of The Bible.
- [Narrator] So to support Superbook
Chris joined the 700 club.
And as he started watching
he came to love CBN's other ministries.
- Just the presence that they have
what you guys are doing all over the world
I mean, talk about being in awe
of what the Lord has done.
And I love the fact that I can go
on CBNNews.com and I can get an article
that is really encouragingand really edifying
and I can share that with other believers.
And then the testimonies are really great
because they buildpeoples faith in the Lord.
Also, the movie that they made in 2017
about the Six-Day war was phenomenal,
ah man the Lord really spoketo me through that movie.
- [Narrator] Chris is afirm believer in committing
all ones resources to God.
- We all have to cometo the realization that
God is the giver of all money,
all talent, all energy, all breathe
and the Holy Spirit willspeak to each person
who prays that prayer sincerely and will
them this is what I want you do.
And if we obey that, good things happen.
