Gerri from Kenya suffered with<br />
AIDS for years. As her condition<br />
deteriorated, she developed<br />
lesions and grew too weak<br />
to care for her children. While<br />
visiting Kenya in 2009 to plan<br />
<strong>the</strong> 2010 outreach to Nairobi,<br />
Richard <strong>Roberts</strong> prayed for<br />
Gerri. After her symptoms improved,<br />
Gerri had new medical<br />
tests which proved she is healed<br />
of AIDS. She testified of how<br />
God healed her at <strong>the</strong> 2010<br />
Nairobi crusade.<br />
God knows <strong>the</strong> divine opportunities and doors that will open up for us in 2012.<br />
Jim from Tulsa went to his doctor<br />
with symptoms that turned out<br />
to be lung cancer. The lump in<br />
his left lung was significant, and<br />
it looked like he would need<br />
to have his lung removed.<br />
But his wife, Peggy, convinced<br />
him to go to Richard <strong>Roberts</strong><br />
for prayer. Richard laid hands<br />
on Jim and prayed. When Jim<br />
returned to his doctor for blood<br />
work, X-rays, and a CT scan,<br />
everything came back normal.<br />
The cancer was gone. And Jim<br />
became a Christian as a result<br />
of his healing.
