Dr. Kent Brantly, one of the two US doctors who contracted the Ebola virus in Liberia, has spoken out for the first time. He released a statement from his isolation room at Emory University in Atlanta where he's being treated after he was flown out of Liberia last week. He is the first Ebola patient to receive experimental serum, ZMapp. Below is the statement Brantly released to the media yesterday
“I am writing this update from my isolation room at Emory University Hospital, where the doctors and nurses are providing the very best care possible. I am growing stronger every day, and I thank God for His mercy as I have wrestled with this terrible disease. I also want to extend my deep and sincere thanks to all of you who have been praying for my recovery as well as for Nancy and for the people of Liberia and West Africa.
“My wife Amber and I, along with our two children, did not move to Liberia for the specific purpose of fighting Ebola. We went to Liberia because we believe God called us to serve Him at ELWA Hospital." Continue...
“One thing I have learned is that following God often leads us to unexpected places. When Ebola spread into Liberia, my usual hospital work turned more and more toward treating the increasing number of Ebola patients. I held the hands of countless individuals as this terrible disease took their lives away from them. I witnessed the horror first-hand, and I can still remember every face and name.
“When I started feeling ill on that Wednesday morning, I immediately isolated myself until the test confirmed my diagnosis three days later. When the result was positive, I remember a deep sense of peace that was beyond all understanding. God was reminding me of what He had taught me years ago, that He will give me everything I need to be faithful to Him.
“Now it is two weeks later, and I am in a totally different setting. My focus, however, remains the same - to follow God. As you continue to pray for Nancy and me, yes, please pray for our recovery. More importantly, pray that we would be faithful to God’s call on our lives in these new circumstances.”

Wow, I had goose bumps reading that. May the Lord perfect your healing. Thanks for your selfless service.
Amen.u wl nt die as a result of ds terrible disease
I love Dr. Kent Brantly. May God heal him completely. He is an inspiration.
He didn't give us a hint as to how he may have contracted the virus even when they are always suited up. Oh Well! Someone should knock his head for holding their hands on their death bed even when he was fully covered, cos somehow, the virus penetrated or he touched his contaminated outfit. Seems like he brought it upon himself.
Cheya thank God for this doctor and his family and don't worry God has already healed u. CHI
That's a christian brother! I am deeply touched.
Dr Kent Brantly, you will be well in Jesus mighty name. Amen!
The Lord is your strength.........
Quick recovery sir...God bless you.

i pray that God will heal you,so that there will be a prove that the med is good for human consumption and with that it will eradicate this dreaded disease
What a sincere heart, may the Lord help us to understand his purpose and what he has committed to our hands in this part of the world(Nigeria) Most Nigerians included the so called clergy are not sincere in their pursuit of God. it is very unfortunate and regretable. My prayer is to know him and serve him like Dr kent. What a selfless service meanwhile our doctors are so much after money and vain things
Humility at it's finest. God bless him
such strong faith in the lord,d lord keep u sir.
D lord is ur strenght may he grants u guys quick recovery injn.

With people like these as christians who wouldn't want to a christian. Unlike all those boko haram nd isis devils dat force islam on people
the Lord is good. HE REIGNETH
May the Lord almighty heal you two iJN
After reading Dr. Brantly, I only succeeded in holding back tears only because I fought hard...
Now I feel the greater cosmic purpose behind his going to Liberia was not just to spread the Gospel of our Lord, but to be used to rein in the reign of Western aloofness to the plague...
Perhaps if the disease hadn't touched a US citizen or just limited to Africa, the world may have continued in denial...
I not only pray for Brantly's recovery, but that having become the inevitable guinea pig for clinical trial of the experimental drug ZMapp, the world through him would have made significant mileage towards finding a cure for this horror called Ebola virus....
Regardless, #eschatologyonmymind#
Thank God oooooooooooo
Hmmmm....deeply moved....God take me to dis realm in my spiritual life...Dis total surrender to God, Dis believing in God despite all odd...hmmm I yearn 4 dis lord...I wish him and his wife speedy recovery...u surely will nt die...
Wow...amazing.
I wish u and Dr Nancy quick recovery, d word of God says by d stife of Jesus Christ we are heal, therefore by d strife of Jesus I declare healing upon ur lives in Jesus name. Amen.
Very touching. I pray he recovers fully
May the Lord almighty heal you two iJN
When God calls you,u just have to heed!
God will never fail u Dr.u must live to declare his faithfulness
God takes care of those who are faithful to him. I hope Nigerians can learn from this, he said when he felt ill he immediately isolated himself. So please when you feel the symptoms, please isolate yourself or inform someone n seek immediate help.
One of the very few people in the world who understand the true meaning of religion and following God. It is simply service to humanity and charity. How many of the so called Christians today can emulate this man and go places where help is needed to serve? Also, when it was time to use his God given brain , he did by isolating himself and accepting medical help from his country. One day my African brothers and sisters will wake up and understand the true essence of religion because it is one our biggest problems today.
Amen! God bless you for being there for those victims!
I pray for perfect healing for him and Nancy.
Eeyyya. I pray for ur quick recovery and DAT of those that hv d virus.
When the result was positive, I remember the deep sense of peace that is beyond all understanding... What a confession and a peace of mind from a true child of God. And the gate of hell shall never prevail in your testimony in Jesus name for He that started the good work in your life shall perfect it for you and for all that put their trust in the Lord in this situation in Jesus Amen. What a good man you are, when you started feeling ill you isolated your self but Liberian Partrick being aware of his own situation started coming to Nigeria God will judge every body according to his work.
The God U serve will not put U in shame, Ur heal in JESUS name AMEN!
Awww...... Even with the scientific solution to his cure, he didn't decline the mightiness and graciousness of God. That's how I think we should approach religiousity and christianity in particular. This is faith, belief, resolve, optimism and steadfastness. Good one. Thank God for you.
God Bless you comrade!
All Ebola patient are healed in Jesus Name
Christianity is a call to action, a call to duty not a call to flamboyant life style. Now this is what the gospel is all about, making Godly sacrifices and being faithful to the call of God, not wearing designer clothes and having luxury cars and private jets and exploiting poor church members in the name of preaching the gospel.
Dr Kent, its well with you. The God that you went to serve in Liberia through your profession, will heal and preserve your life for greater exploit in Jesus name.
May God stretch out His healing hand upon you and your family and all those affected with ebola virus. you will live to testify in Jesus Name
I actually did cry after reading this....so touching!
Well said #saveourhealthworkers
Your healed in jesus name Amen, God bless you.
If all religion in world should have this kind of mind set, I think d world ll make a better place. Let's love one and another, embrace one another no matter the person's religion. Doctor, you re an inspiration to the World!
A heart of a Doctor. You are a hero! Speedy recovery.
Your heart is pure man. God will never forsake. You have a good heart and there are just few of your type in the world. You are healed already in IJN.
A heart of a true Doctor! You are a hero! Speedy recovery.
'When the result was positive, I remember a deep sense of peace that was beyond all understanding'. Dr, you're a hero! Jesus heals you.
So this is all you have to say after reading the write up, u are just a moron, Ashawo
God bless you for what you just said
Hmm.. May the name of the Lord be praised!
Might just be his faith in God that's doing the job and not the ZMapp serum what what.
* My R1.50c comment *
God will never let you go through anything that will kill you if you're serving Him and you're sensitive. He sees your heart sir. He will use you as a showpiece for His glory. Come out strong.
God never lies, you have a good hearth he will never depart from you.
Dr Brantly......Ur faithfulness both to God and ur profession is absolutely amazing. God does not forsake such....,,even posterity will speak for u. You would be back on ur feet again,,cos God still has need for u,
Uo God elect. I pray for ur recovering. LIB Princess!
D greatness of God will definitely be made manifest through u ijn....Amen! FJ CRUISE commenting via Nokia N78
Those that work in the vineyard of de Lord will not go unnoticed. You are a true hero.
Our ever faithful Omnipresent and omni potent Almighty God. May your name be praised forever. Hold unto your faith doctor Brantly and God will surely see you through this difficult time. I have a strong conviction that God is trying to use you to get a cure for this deadly virus. This terrible time we are facing globally and Africa in particular will surely come to pass in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our blessed Saviour. AMEN!
Your faith and gud heart shall make you whole again, u shall be healed IJMN Amen.
What an inspiration!
As in ehn.... same here
Healing is for God only, God will surly heal u. I so much admirer ur commitment 2 ur calling
Bross the lord will heal you he went there because God called him to serve i hope the bastard vampire Muslims and Isis killer are seeing what a human being is doing putting his life on the line every deed will be accounted for and the Muslims that take delight in killing they will be judged they own this earth but they dont own heaven
Great man. God will continue to be with you and your family.
Dr....By his stripes u re healed,AMEN
Awwwww I wish him quick recovery...
Am so happy that an American medical doctor will use his faith to support his vocation. If it were to be a Nigerian, a lot of us will call him unthinkable names. We just have to come to teams with the truth,God is a supreme being and uses human beings to confirm His existence.
Dr. Kent Brantly, you are the greatest of all time. Your faith in God is beyond and above. You are our modern day JOB the man of God who did not waiver in his faith in God even in time of trouble. Our God will not fail you. Your sense of humility is overwhelming. May the almighty God be with you now and forever In Jesus Name AMEN.
Only your Faith alone will set you free. What a man! By his stripes you are healed. Say a prayer for Dr. Kent and Nancy. Beautiful soul.
I'm Thankful to God that the young doctor believes in God. A lot of them white folks in the west these days don't believe in God. We Thank God very much for his faithfulness in the young man's life.
Wow,am rili touched.God pls help us to stay faithful.I pray d good lord heals u completely doc Kent.amen
Prayer and action go hand in hand. He was saved because of where he hails. Many others will die because their country isn't as resourced as the US.
Wow what an inspiring testimony, this is the kind of character, that other Christians should emulate, and not all these yeye people, going to Church on Sundays, committing atrocities the rest of the week: and not willing to help their fellow man, that needs help. Doctor Kent Brantly, God would heal you completely in Jesus name, and God would heal all those, that have the ebola virus in Jesus name-Amen!!! Whizman
This Brought me to tears.
Thank you doctor Brantley, for giving up your self to be used by God.
May God bless you abundantly and restore your health. Amen

GOD BLESS YOU DOCTOR........SPEEDY RECOVERY IN JESUS NAME........
Please join the campaign and sign the petition. #GiveThemExperimentalDrugs..Release Ebola experimental drug, Zmapp to Africa. http://wh.gov/lujQF
Brethren, this is the time God has given to take the Word of God to the muslims. I hv been taking the Word to them, and u know wat? they're eager to receive it, family deposition aside. Now is the right time, take the world to every muslim u see. Now is the time of their salvation.
Like every religion, there are bad eggs using the name of God to perpetrate evil. Examples are found daily in Nigeria where Christian pastors are involved in ritual killings, selling human body parts while hiding under religion. Calling ISIS muslims is an error, they're not muslims, islam has been hijacked by the evil ones, may Allah deliver us all from these evil uprisings.
God bless your heart. Leaving USA a place of comfort for Africa on missionary,that same God will heal you and keep you. You will not be disappointed. Our Own Doctors here I sincerely pray that they will recover from the deadly ebola. For those treating ebola,may our Lord protect you all.
This man is even willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of helping others.
and some people are busy planning how they will embezzled the money the president claimed he has released
some too,are busy killing their fellow human being
Let us repent
Doctor you have nothing to worry about
even heaven and the Earth are clapping for you..i pray for you to be healed in Jesus name.
But one thing is certain you have touched the whole world.
Wow his words are touching...u r healed doctor..take charge
9:11pm, don't generalize. There are both good and bad people in every religion, race and country.
The Lord shall perfect your healing in Jesus name amen.
Amen. I feel for this man. God will not allow him to die. Na bcus of people like him God bless oyibo countries. We naija people need to learn that.
with this mans statement and action you can see the difference between islam and christianity
GIFTED HANDS

May the lord crown your kindness with joy, amen
a real touching testimony indeed. God bless you an your family and every single person who has died, living with ebola and their families. God is their strength. Jesus is indeed Lord.
GOD bless you for all the good work you have done soo far

You are healed in Jesus NAME,amen.

God protects his own, America does too. For we Africans,its either we are not Gods' own or our country can't protect us. This dr is a very courageous man, but let's remember that his country made sure he doesn't die no matter the risk. Till today there is still 700+ death from ebola in W.Africa. Abi God no send us
Doc u are rare and you've got a gr8 heart. Praying for your quick recovery thru the Zmap serum. U are healed IJN
