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.

Without any actual proof I take any of these kinds of claims with a truck load of skepticism. In this case - pics or it didn't happen.

I believe it COULD have happened, and I believe that it possibly happened in this case. That's as far as I can go. Evangelist RW Schambach said that it happened during his ministry-albeit, it was a foot, and in increments. I rather believe him. "According to thy faith, so be it unto thee."

This same megachurch recently hosted a men's conference:
strongermen.org

Stronger Men's Conference | April 12-13, 2024 | Springfield, MO

The Stronger Men’s Conference exists to empower and motivate men to live out God’s view of manhood and be the best husbands, fathers, and leaders God has called them to be!
strongermen.org strongermen.org

It's hard to decide what's more cringey: having as one of the headliners at your men's conference Mark Driscoll, the face of toxic evangelical masculinity, or tanks and fireworks in the sanctuary:
