Thirty-nine years of physical and emotional illness had stifled my will to live. I had attempted suicide more than three times, and, once again, death was looking like the only solution -- the only escape from the hell I was living in. I was "without hope and without God in the world."

That was my state of mind when both corneas were cut by my contact lenses in May, 1979. This was a serious injury that threatened my eyesight. At this critical time, my Christian supervisor sent me some healing tapes and phoned to tell me to watch a T.V. program called "The 700 Club." Though I was heavily drugged and in great pain, I turned on the television and as the host, Pat Robertson, prayed Jesus Christ healed both my eyes. All the pain, throbbing and running stopped instantly. I did not understand what happened but I kept watching "The 700 Club" and Jesus revealed Himself to me.

I had always called myself a "Christian" but finally realized I did not have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. (If I had died then, I would really have known what hell was.) Just past midnight, May 27, 1979, I cried out to the Lord to save me and come into my life. As tears freely flowed, I experienced the redeeming, cleansing Love of God and KNEW miraculously, that all my illnesses were completely healed by the Power of God.

In August 1979, the Lord showed me His plan for me to attend Rhema Bible Training Center, Tulsa, OK.

It was such an incredible idea, I told no one for nearly a year. I was hungry for God's Word. I studied, prayed and taught each week in Children's Ministry of the church I attended. I was happier than I ever thought possible.

I graduated from Rhema Bible Training Center in May 1983. In September 1983, I was licensed and ordained by the Ministerial Fellowship of the USA. In 1987, I became a member of the Rhema Ministerial Association International and was ordained by Dr. Kenneth E. Hagin at Rhema Bible Church in Oklahoma.

Since November 1983, I have been "preaching, teaching and healing in the Name of Jesus Christ" in India, Republic of South Africa, Mozambique, Swaziland, Botswana, Great Britain, the Philippine Islands and the USA. I have ministered to the Body of Christ and trained nationals called to the five-fold ministry all over the world.
