With 1% chance of survival, pastor beats Covid-19, “Without Jesus Christ I would not have survived”

A pastor from the Atlanta area in Georgia, USA, survived a long fight against the Coronavirus and credits his recovery to his faith in God.

Pastor Robert Burt has been grateful to be alive after defeating the deadly virus he fought against for several weeks.

His wife, Joy, revealed that sometimes the situation did not seem so compromising. “I was so close to death, incredibly close to death,” he said.

“But I refused to believe that because I know that my God is the supreme healer and that he was going to cure Robert,” he added.

Burt, who runs Danielsville Baptist Church, did not have health insurance, so he sought help from GoFundMe to help pay his medical bills. So far, he has managed to raise $2,000.

“God bless you all and thank you from the bottom of our hearts,” the family said in appreciation of all those who prayed and donated.

With only a 1% chance of survival

In the church that Burt shepherds, no one was infected by the virus; and this was a great relief to him.

On March 19, the preacher was rushed to the hospital. Surprisingly, he credits Jesus for his recovery.

“I do know that without Jesus Christ healing and touching my body and giving me what I needed that I wouldn’t have survived,” Burt said.

For some weeks, the pastor was confused and disoriented without realizing where he was or what was happening.

One of the most incredible things about his case is that the doctors explained that he was in such a bad state that he was given only a 1% chance of survival.

“We have to look at it as a very serious virus,” Burt said. “I pray every day at this point that people who have this don’t lose their lives”.
