What We Want You to Know
Students. Faith + Swagger. We're just a group of students trying to figure it all out.
My name is Jonathan Revoir, I am 13 years old and this is my faith.
I was born in April of 2003, 2 years later I was diagnosed with a mild case of scoliosis. They didn’t do much, I was in a cast 24/7 because we thought it would fix my back. It didn’t. It kept getting worse and worse and at the age of 6 I was having surgeries every 6 months until I was 10. Because of my back, my stomach was small, I couldn’t eat much. I was 60-65 lbs. at the age of 10. In August of 2014 my doctor decided to do a halo traction to try to straighten me out. To do this I would be in the hospital for 2 months. So in September I started the journey of my life. During that time it was tough. The thing that gave me hope in the hospital was my faith in Christ, because He can do miracles and He was doing one in my life. The end of that journey couldn’t come sooner. I got out 6 days before Christmas! Before I went to the hospital my spine had a 120 degree turn, after I left it was at 60. God can do miracles! I still have scoliosis and it still effects my life but I have God to help me out! My name is Johnathan Revoir I am 13 years old and this is my faith.

Jonathan you are an inspiration. I pray the Lord will continue to give the doctors wisdom in how to treat your condition. My husband and I were honored to meet you and your family this summer when we were visiting the Switala's.

God has given you the faith and the gifts to live your life with joy, and to spread that joy to others. Through the light that shines within you, you have given strength and hope to all, the medical staff and to strangers who hear your story. My personal Bible verse - rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus - you live this. Thank you Jonathan for your testimony.
