Greetings from Odessa, Ukraine. Here is the testimony of our sister Zoe. She and her husband got saved in the early years of our church and have been a faithful couple for more than 20 years. Testimony Zoe
Greetings, brothers and sisters! My name is Zoe Yefimova. I am 44 years old, and I live in Odessa, Ukraine. I want to share with you a miracle that the Lord has done.
Some time ago, I was given a terrible diagnosis: cervical carcinoma, stage 4 cancer. The tumor had already grown into my bladder and affected my lymph nodes. The doctors told my husband directly that there was no hope and that we needed to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
It was too late for surgery, so I was
Zoe & family - healed from stage 4 c prescribed nine rounds of intensive chemotherapy, followed by radiation therapy.
But we decided not to give up and to ask the Lord for healing. The churches of our Fellowship prayed for me. I constantly felt God’s presence and comfort. My husband fasted, prayed, and constantly encouraged me.
Sisters from other churches also prayed and fasted. Natasha Tarasova sent me Bible verses almost every day for encouragement. I repeated God’s promises out loud and read books on healing. Pastor Dennis gave me a book on healing by Pastor Greg Mitchell. Pastor Sergey Golubev also passed on words of inspiration, saying, “Do not be afraid, the Lord will give you healing!” The church is a great support.
After every three rounds of chemotherapy, I underwent a medical scan. After just the first three rounds, the scan showed that my bladder, which had previously been bleeding and deformed, had completely recovered! And the tumor began to shrink and break down. My oncologist did not expect such tremendous progress and said that there might be a chance for surgery in the future, although it was still a long way off.
But after another three rounds of chemotherapy, a new scan showed that the tumor was completely gone, and the bladder was absolutely clear. The doctor was in shock. The surgeon immediately took me in for surgery. When the pathology results came back after the surgery, they amazed everyone - no cancer cells were found, and the lymph nodes were fully restored!
According to medical protocols, radiation therapy was required, and I was referred to another hospital. I arrived there with my test results. The doctor looked at them and said amazing words: “I have nothing to radiate here; the cells are absolutely healthy. What happened to you simply doesn’t happen; it goes completely against the protocol.” Six months later, I went through all my follow-up checkups, and they showed that there are no cancer cells! cancer! I want to say a huge thank you to all of you, brothers and sisters, for your prayers and support. Praise God for His mercy! He brought me out of this evil and granted me healing!”
