Meet The 8-Year-Old Girl Who Cures Cancer & HIV With A Single Touch

8-year-old Alani Santos could be called a wonder as she keeps amazing people with the level of her faith in God considering the fact that her father was a car thief who recently became born again and a pastor.

Santos claims to be channelling God's power in order to perform faith healings, curing everything from cancer to HIV.

The little preacher claims to cast out demons and heal the sick and believers come from miles around to her father's church in favela of San Gonzalos, just outside Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

Alani who has been healing people for the past two years says she enjoys making people feel better and would love to become a doctor in future to continue helping the sick.

"To see God working though people and their lives, that is very pleasing. I pray and God performs miracles. My Dad interviews people who say I have cured them" she told Vocativ.

Describing her 'powers', Alani says: "A lot of the time I just touch people, sometimes I pray and worship and the person is cured."
