  "account": "Catholic priest Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, founder of Adoration Ministry in Enugu, Nigeria, has shared his experience at the Passion Center in a video, recounting what he described as a \"medical and scientific mystery\" regarding his eyesight. Doctors told him that his eyesight had deteriorated to the point of legal blindness, yet he could still see, read, and move around without assistance. Mbaka underwent extensive ophthalmological and optical examinations following years of stress and sleeplessness. The tests, conducted with modern medical equipment, left the doctors astonished. They initially assumed he had been brought to the hospital by family members because he was blind, but Mbaka insisted he came alone. When he opened his Bible and began reading, the doctors became even more surprised, as they could not explain his ability to see and read. The doctors reportedly said the only explanation was if God had given him new eyes. Mbaka claimed that the medical findings were sent to doctors Dr. Chiogbu Chukwu and Dr. Scott, who confirmed that both of his eyes were no longer medically functional. He emphasized that while he believed in both medical and spiritual healing, followers should not abandon orthodox medicine while seeking spiritual intervention.",
