Maruja, One of our contacts tells us about her Christian experience:
I was born in the midst of a Christian family in the city of San Fernando, Apure State. I always remember how excited I was when Sundays came because of the classes that we shared on Sunday School.
I separated from church alter I got married because my husband was a Business man and we had to travel a lot because of that, and never had the time to go to church.
One day, alter a medical check-up, my doctor found that I had breast cancer, and as a result I had this part of my body totally removed. Everything went on as always alter this. We had a lot of work and better income, but the same worries as ever.
While I was pretty busy with social activities and work, I started to feel very tired and with a bad back pain. After examination and gone through several tests ordered by my doctors, they discovered that a cancer had appeared on my right lung. Doctors told me that I only had seven months of life.
My whole family and I were disappointed about life and God, who we started to blame for all.
One day a friend of mine told me about the Lutheran Hour and the great Christian support they offered to suffering people. I got in touch with them right away, and they started to come to visit me, and to help me through their advice, prayers and Bible Studies. I asked them to pray for me. One month later, I got the results of some more tests and they showed that the cancer had started to decrease. With tears in my eyes I knelt down before God and thanked Him for what was happening. Two months later the cancer was in remission.
Now my mouth and my heart speak about the Christian message to many people, because the Lord has granted me some more time to live. I belong to a Christian church and I never tired of witnessing about the work of Christ in my life, and I asked the Divine Master that I be brought to His presence when He determines. I thank God because I went back to His paths and He once again granted me His forgiveness, and sustains me in my spiritual life by means of His grace.
