“Thank God. If not by God’s grace, I would not dare to think my disease could be healed,” Bao says. In the past she was extremely careful not to drink cold water but now she can eat meat and is recovering from the disease she has suffered for 15 years. 

Bao Guilan, a believer from the Horqin Church, has been a Christian for 20 years. At the age of 70, she says she had ulcerative colitis for 15 years already and suffered from diarrhea every day. Doctors told her to try traditional Chinese medicine for years because the disease couldn't be cured.

For 15 years, tortured by pain, she had developed a habit - she would be awakened by the sign of trots at 5 in the morning and for the rest of the day she would spend more than half of the time in the toilet. Sometimes, there was blood in the stool when she didn't take enough food. Her weight had reduced to 45 kilos from over 65. In her prayers Bao asked God to take her away several times.

In 2014, a sarcoma grew in her intestine. She had a painful surgery in Beijing. She begged God to bring her back to the heaven because she couldn't bear any more, while her brothers and sisters in Christ called and encouraged her daily. Later, she regained her faith and offered repentance to God and prayed for His help.

She says she prayed to God the moment she woke up in the morning for the past 15 years. In the second half of 2015, a friend suggested for her to take enemas. After taking enemas for half a year, she felt much relieved. Her diarrhea was in better situation and there were no more bloody stools.

Bao says God hears prayers. God not only healed her disease but also healed her brother. 

Her brother suffered from diabetes for more than 20 years. In 2009, he was almost dying with his whole body ulcerating. Christian brothers and sisters came to pray for him at a fixed time every week.

One day he seemed like he was dying. His jaws were locked and his eyes were turning white. People near his bed burst into tears. Their crying went on and reached into a house nearby. Hearing this, a woman of that house asked about what was going on and recommended a drug that she had which might work.

Then Bao Guilan pried his teeth to fill the drug into him. After being unconscious for three days, her brother woke up and his first word was that he wanted water. Since then he has been getting better and was given an external drug to use until he was gradually healed.

Bao praised God, saying "It is God who works! He let our crying reach into the ears of that woman and healed my brother through her hands."

Bao witnessed that doctors said her brother could only live within three months at most while he who has lived eight more years with joy and peace and attends services in his wheelchair every week.

She says her mouth can't speak out all the grace of God. Although she had been tortured by her disease for more than 15 years, God healed her and her brother from their illnesses and let them witness His grace while they are alive. Now Bao always gives her testimony of God's power and preaches the Gospel. She also prays in front of God to ask Him to heal patients who suffer from the similar pain.
