TESTIMONIES BRAZIL NOVEMBER 2007
My name is Cleverson Pereira De Araujo . I am 39 years old I have been married for 17 years to Rivane Araujo and I have two children Evellyn 16 years old and Emmerson 7 years old. I am a dentist since 1997 and I worked in Amargosa - Bahia Brazil full time. My wife and I were called to the Pastoral Ministry at Restoration and Vida Evangelical Church in Amargosa. Throughout this ministry, we have experienced great changes in our lives and precious blessing from the Lord. In the last year I have had a terrible pain in my back, my spine was out of line giving deep pain all over my back and there was a burning feeling all the time. I had been to see the Physiotherapist and he said that I needed at least eight sessions in a clinic. This clinic was in Salvadore which was so far away from Amargosa, about 280 km. I asked myself if I could finish work. How could I do these all these physiotherapist sessions? How could I cope with all the expenses and work? How could I solve these problems? But yesterday in the meeting when Pastor Colin Tilley was praying for the sick I felt in my heart a deep desire to ask Pastor Colin to pray for me. But I was also thinking that I was in the meeting to help him minister too, so I did not want Pastor Colin to bother about me. Then the Holy Spirit said to my heart it is not like that! I asked the Lord’s forgiveness. I came near to Pastor Colin and immediately Pastor Colin prayed for me, instantly the pain that had tormented me all through the meeting went! I thank God for Pastor Colin’s life. He was an instrument for my healing. Now I do not have pain anymore. I do not need to spend money on travel and expenses looking for my healing. Praise the Lord our God cares for us. Hallelujah!!.
PASTOR COLIN’S COMMENTS:
I remember Pastor Cleverson edging very slowly forward for prayer. When we prayed with him, he immediately jumped up in the air star jump fashion shouting Hallelujah! Hallelujah! I have no doubt that Pastor Cleverson has received his miracle from Jesus. He was so happy.
PARA NORTH BRAZIL
My name is Marlene. I had a problem with my back due to an anaesthetic injection and caesarean section when I was 29 years old. Since then I always had pain in my back but I had hope and faith in God that I would be healed. Pastor Colin prayed for me at the Assemblies of God Church in Redencao, and now I thank God I am healed. Amen. Also I had a problem with my ear. I could not hear well but after prayer I can now hear. If we believe, have faith and walk in God’s ways – God will do the healing. I am so glad and thankful to my God. AMEN.

PASTOR COLIN’S COMMENTS:
This lady came out for prayer with pain in her back. After prayer she was slayed by the power of God and was on the floor fifteen to twenty minutes. When she eventually got up I gave her a few minutes to come round as she did not appear to be with us. I then asked if the pain in her back was gone and she said it was. She then told me that she had this pain since the birth of her son which was 29 years ago. At this point I realised she also had a problem with her right hear and she could not hear very well out of it or hear at all. So we then prayed with her again and the presence and power of God again overwhelmed her and she was again lying helplessly on the floor for a further ten minutes. When she came round the second time I tested her hearing and she could hear perfectly. We give praise and glory to Jesus who is the mighty healer and he is the same yesterday today and forever!
