BOLD Ministry

This is a testimony from Pamela Chowyou.  Pam has been a member of BOLD since 2002.  It is an example of everyday faith, making an extraordinary difference.  Pam has demonstrated a facility to pray for the sick and see God manifest through healing.

Pam writes: God met me in the middle of my errands last Friday. I was running late to my appointment with my personal trainer in the City. A few people called me as I was rushing out, and I was begining to panic because I was going to be very late for my appointment. As I was wrapping up my last call, my trainer called and told me she was actually in MY neighborhood in Queens to pick up vitamins. We were planning to meet up to take the subway together into the City, but my husband suggested that I show her the gym in our building. She agreed, and I learned that her appointment after mine was cancelled, so we actually had time to catch up and talk. I decided to bring her up to our apartment to talk to her and to pray for her.

My trainer had been suffering from alot of anxiety due to a difficult ending of a work relationship at a local gym and severe asthma which she had since she was a teenager. She was on the steroid Prednisone which causes bloating and weight gain (something not desirable for a personal trainer!). I prayed for her asthma and anxiety, and she received total healing immediately. Her labored breathing became easier as we were praying, and she began to give thanks to God. She had been waking up at 2am or 3am in the mornings because of her asthma, and she is now waking up at her normal 6:30am which enables her to return to her exercise regimine. She's been away from church for 3 years, and I encouraged her to return. She is praying now for a church to attend. I gave her a book on leadership that I had purchased a few months back but which had been sitting on my bookshelf. She says that the book has been blessing her so much, and it's meeting her exactly where she is. She said that the day that we prayed together felt like the real start of the 2009 for her. My trainer says that she now has the confidence to launch her personal training business, and she is no longer afraid about the finances. She knows that God will provide.
