Get Up! The Miracle Story of Jarvis Johnson

From Donny Rowles | 01:00:04

Jarvis Johnson was a basketball prodigy by age 2. He’d developed elite basketball skills by the time he was 12, which is also about the time he discovered he had a genetic gift: Michael-Jordan-like jumping ability. But the same genes that freed Jarvis to levitate off the floor almost magically, also hid a dangerous secret, inside his body, one that wouldn’t make itself known until Jarvis was 13, at basketball practice.

Jarvis Johnson was a basketball prodigy by age 2. He’d developed elite basketball skills by the time he was 12, which is also about the time he discovered he had a genetic gift: Michael-Jordan-like jumping ability. But the same genes that freed Jarvis to levitate off the floor almost magically, also hid a dangerous secret, one that wouldn’t make itself known until Jarvis was 13, at basketball practice. Jarvis' story is a miracle story. A story about the true faith of a family put in a situation where most would have simply given up in despair. A story that proves that life can be taken away from you at any moment. But, sometimes, life can also come back.
