Leukemia Healed!



Ben Rodriguez

 The following is the account of Juan Carlos Tena’s healing as told by his sister Gioselin Gonzalez to reporter Ben Rodriguez.

B: So how did this all begin?

G: Four years ago, we had just started coming to this church. And my brother became terribly sick. He had bruises all over his body. And the doctors said there was nothing wrong with hm. But my mom was praying and fasting for weeks to see what direction to take for my brother, and she felt to take him to the hospital. They said that he had leukemia.

B: What was Juan’s attitude about the disease?

G: In the beginning, he was just like, terrified. Because he was just five and just a normal little kid. He wanted to play outside and be with his friends, but he was scared. We started talking to him about how God great is, and about His carrying us. After we spoke to him about God, he never cried afterwards. He actually won a certificate for bravery at his hospital.

B: How did you take the news of your brother’s sickness?

G: I was, I guess, in shock. Totally in shock. Because no one in our family had such a sickness. But that’s where my faith started to grow. I prayed every day and night, because I knew God is a healer. Afterwards, I felt better. 

B: How did the healing happen?

Gioselin Gonzalez

G: It was four years ago, during service, our pastor was preaching. And he called the whole church to come and pray for my brother. He prayed for a divine healing over him. My whole family was there. After that prayer, they were just proclaiming Jesus’ blood over him and anointing him with oil. After that we’re like, we know everything is going to be ok. Especially when we felt that the church was really with us.

A month after his diagnosis, he had a test to see if it had spread. The doctor had said that it had probably spread to his brain and spine.  [The doctor] thought [Juan] was going to have more, but he had none. The call from the doctor said that there was no cancer. They were completely shocked. And that was our response from God.

B: And who healed your brother?

G: A God named Jesus.

B: Can He heal other people?

G: Yes he can.
