My husband worked in construction sites but there was little work to do in the field in February 2012. So my family experienced difficulty and we even had to skip meals. Then, my friend talked about Davao Manmin Church and I was guided to the church.
I was weary in heart and body at that time, but after I attended the church I was given hope for Heaven and my husband got work. But I still had a problem. I had smoked since I was a teenager. I could not stop it. I knew I should, but I couldn't.
In early 2014, I got pregnant. Around four days before my delivery, my face and legs began to swell. Test results showed I had gestosis. On November 22 in 2014, I delivered my baby. But my baby lacked oxygen and had to be protected in the incubator for a month. Four days after the delivery, I had another problem. Blisters formed from my back to chest. It was so itchy that I could not sleep. It was shingles.
I received postnatal care in hospital for a month. But there was no improvement. So, in January 2015, I went to church and received Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer for the sick through GCN in the worship service. I also received Pastor Kathryn E. Kim's prayer of the handkerchief that Dr. Lee had prayed on (Acts 19:11-12). After I received the prayer three times, pain and itchiness were gone. The blisters also burst and dried, and scabs formed. Then I was healed completely. Through this incident, I even stopped smoking. My baby also is also growing up well. Hallelujah!
