“From that moment on, I felt a change inside of me. I felt something happen inside, and since then I began to recover.”
Oaxaca church: 54-year-old Sabino's terminal illness healing testimony after miraculous healing through prayer, 2017.

A Terminal Diagnosis

In the heart of Oaxaca, Mexico, Sabino, a 54-year-old villager, faced a dire prognosis. Plagued by a terminal illness, he appeared frail and hopeless, resembling a 'walking cadaver.' Doctors had exhausted their efforts and advised him to prepare for the inevitable.

A Desperate Prayer

Yet, Sabino clung to a thread of hope and attended a local worship service. As he stood amidst a gathering of believers, missionaries prayed fervently over him.

Miraculous Recovery

Sabino later recounted, 'From that moment on, I felt a change inside of me. I felt something happen inside, and since then I began to recover. I made the decision to follow Christ and gave my heart to Christ, and God answered.' His transformation was nothing short of miraculous. Sabino's health rapidly improved, and his vigor returned, a testament to the power of prayer and faith.
