Pedro is 31 years old. He is married and has one daughter. Although he had a happy home life and a good job as the security supervisor of a large company, the constant drain of an incurable illness marred his life. But that changed when two friends shared words of faith with him. Here is his story in his own words:

After two years of dizzy spells, always being tired and having an insatiable appetite, my illness was finally diagnosed: I had hypoglycemia, a disorder of the pancreas. This sickness is considered incurable, and the patient must submit to a rigorous diet.

Periods of severe difficulty caused by my condition were long and wearing. Any and all activities were difficult to perform, but lying down to rest didn't help, as I would feel like I was suffocating. I had to take lots of medicine, and even then the attacks would always return.

The Lord healed me!

I lived like this for five more years. Then one day I had a visit from Emilio and Silvana.

I had met these Christian missionaries from The Family about a year earlier, when they had told me about Jesus in such a happy manner. They were always busy showing others how Christians should be happy and active, not sad or so wrapped up in their problems that they spent their lives just praying for themselves and doing little or nothing for others.

That day I told Emilio and Silvana about my illness. They prayed for Jesus to heal me-and He answered!

It's been ten months now since the Lord healed me, and I haven't had even one sign of hypoglycemia since then!

I am very thankful for what God has done in healing me after so many years of sickness. His love shown to me in this way makes me want to try to follow Him closer with every day that passes.
