A Springfield-area church is claiming that prayer re-grew a woman's amputated toes last week. During a livestream of James River Church's March 15 service, Pastor John Lindell explained that a "creative miracle" took place the day before at the Joplin James River Church campus.
James River Church and the woman involved, Kristina Dines, have not returned the News-Leader's requests for comment. As of publication of this article, there are no photos or videos of the event taking place or the aftermath.
The alleged toe-regrowth event has drawn considerable attention on social media, with many expressing skepticism of the claims. A website urging anyone with proof to share it has popped up at ShowMeTheToes.com. The website cites Luke 17:14: "And when (Jesus) saw (the lepers), he said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
