Praise Report: Found hope while going through a health crisis

I am a Singaporean living in England for the past 25 years. Some years ago, I went through a divorce. During that period, my brother who is living in Australia, would download Pastor Prince sermons and send them to me on USB sticks. Listening to Pastor Prince speak about God’s grace and favour gave me hope. 

The Lord sent help and brought people into my life and the lives of my children. It was because of my God’s faithfulness and love for me, that I was able to raise my children here in England.

A few years back, I was diagnosed with a brain tumour. I was transferred to the nearest hospital that had a neurology department. I felt cold, afraid, alone, sad, and confused. I missed my children and wondered if I would ever see them again. I was deeply discouraged and absolutely terrified. 

The doctors saw me immediately and I was told that I needed emergency surgery. I was also informed that I could lose the vision in my right eye during the surgery.

On the day before my surgery, I was woken up by a hospital worker. We got chatting and she told me she was from another country. She asked me if I would like to watch TV. I politely said yes, but really only wanted to go back to sleep. I closed my eyes, but I could hear her talking to me, telling me that none of the channels were working, except for one. 

With my eyes shut, I heard a voice coming from the TV—a voice I had heard many, many times, over the years. It was Pastor Prince speaking on my hospital TV!

I opened my eyes, stunned, and the lady said to me, “You should listen to this man preach. My daughter listens to him all the time. God healed her from stomach cancer. Have you heard of this preacher?”

I laughed and said yes, and told her this preacher is from the same country I came from. Hearing Pastor Prince’s voice, seeing his face on TV, and hearing a woman from another country speak about him, just made my day!

It gave me hope again. I knew then that the Lord had not forgotten me, and He was with me. And as He has always done, He sent people into my life to aid me and to give me courage.

I went for my surgery the next day and it was very successful. And now I live to tell of His goodness, with perfect vision in my right eye.
