An Anointing That Made Her Tumors Disappear!
“For Valentine's Day last year, the Lord gave me my life back. He healed me from the head of, you know, the top of my head to the sole of my foot. He healed my life.” Jane says. In the fall of 2023 Jane Beal started having health issues that took a heavy toll on every aspect of her life. She continues, “I was so tired. I was physically tired and my heart was tired. I was having very heavy menstrual periods, so I was feeling awful. They were involved blood clots and heavy bleeding and led to low iron.”
An ultrasound revealed several fibroid tumors on the outside of her uterus. Another was found inside her uterus and had grown quite large. Jane says, “The internal fibroid grew to the size of a grapefruit. And my, and I had four on the outside as well. And my uterus was hard. It was as hard as a stone.”
A biopsy of the tumors revealed they were pre-cancerous and surgery was scheduled for february 13th. Jane called her mom Barbara for prayer. “We just continued to go to the Lord about it.” Says Barbara, “Yeah. We did it over the phone. I did it privately. She prayed, we prayed I prayed. We just, uh, kept going to the Lord about it.”
Jane says, “I was asking him for a miracle because I wanted an instantaneous healing if possible. I knew beyond any shadow of a doubt that God could heal me. I just didn't know if he was going to, or if he was going to, when he was going to.”
What she did know for certain was that God loves her and cares about her health. She recalled Matthew 9 where Jesus healed a woman who suffered with a similar issue. “God cares about that. He cares about that.” Says Jane, “That's why it's recorded in the gospel, that the woman with the issue of blood came and touched the hem of the garment of Jesus. I believe that's recorded there because God cares about issues that women experience. They are issues of blood. I went to the altar every Sunday, and I asked people to pray for me that I would be healed.”
The Sunday before her surgery, Jane, once again went to the alter at the Father’s House Church to pray. She met a woman named Deborah who anointed her with oil and prayed. Deborah recalls, “And I just started praying over her and I could see the light of the Lord. She, she just, to me, she exudes Jesus. And, it was delightful. And she looked at me, she started to cry. And I said, don't fear.”
“Later in the night,” says Jane, “I was pressing on my belly and I did not feel that hard, hard distorted, large uterus. And I literally thought maybe it just turned deeper into my pelvis.”
The next day as she was being prepped for surgery, Jane says she felt the presence of God with her. She says, “No one was there. They like left me alone. And I was like, ‘God's with me.’ And I felt like this tremendous peace, like the peace, I mean, like, they talk about the peace that passes all understanding. I was like, the Lord is like truly with me.”
After surgery, Jane was released. That night, she looked up the surgeon’s notes and was amazed at what the doctor had written. “‘We went in and we looked.’ right, they have a, a small, small camera that guides their surgical direction, right when they go in. ‘And we looked and what we visualized was a normal uterine cavity.’ And she said, ‘so then we compared to the ultrasound pictures where you see a fibroid the size of a grapefruit. And so she went back to look again’, and she said ‘There was no tumor.’ Instantly I knew that God healed me inside my body, that I was healed of the fibroids before I ever went into surgery. And that the doctor was the one who got to see that this was the same doctor who had biopsied pieces of that very fibroid in November. Tt was a miracle. I couldn't wait to tell people who had prayed for me, ‘Thank you for praying for me, The Lord heard our prayer.’”
“Wow.” Says Jane’s mom Barbara, “Jane was, you know, just over the moon and we were too. Praise God. I mean, it was wonderful to know. And she said when she called me to say it, she said, ‘Mom, I feel so special.’
“I feel special because God instantly healed me the day before Valentine's Day.” Jane says, “But just because somebody doesn't receive an instant healing doesn't mean they're not special to God. They are. Every person is God's Valentine. And God loves every person, and he wants to heal every person. Put your trust in him, and don't be afraid. And even if you're overwhelmed with anxiety and fear, the Lord is with you. He will never leave you. He will never forsake you. He's already rejoicing over you with singing, just like it says in the scripture.”
Jane looks back on her miraculous healing with joy that God saw her and loved her and gave such a special valentine’s gift. “I'm so thankful.” She says, “I'm so thankful that God healed me. He had mercy on my life, and he healed me from the inside out. that's the best Valentine ever. I'll take that, I'll take that.”

‘Mom My Stomach Hurts! I Need A Doctor!’
7-year-old Aden was born with an Inguinal hernia. He loved playing with his friends but that often ended with him being teased and laughed at in the small community where he lives in Indonesia.
Aden recounted, “One day, we were playing. Afterward, we went swimming in a pond. When the kids saw me, they started laughing at me. They said, ‘What’s that big lump you have?’”
Aden said the lump also hurt when it got bigger.
As Aden widen his hands to the size of a baseball, he said, “I remember one day the lump got this big when I was running. It hurt when I pushed it back in. I asked my mom, ‘Why do I look different from other kids? Why do I have this big lump?’”
Aden’s parents took him to the doctor to have it checked out.
Aden’s mother said, “He said it might go away and to wait until Aden was 7 before doing surgery.”
But the hernia did not disappear.
Aden’s father explained, “I felt hopeless because I knew I would not be able to save enough money for his surgery.”
Then Operation Blessing met the family and paid for Aden to receive free surgery to repair the hernia.
Aden’s mother said, “I am so happy and have so much joy because Operation Blessing has helped my son.”
Now Aden says he can run and play without embarrassment and without pain.
Aden said, “Now I am already healed, and I can jump and run freely. I want to thank Operation Blessing. Thank you!”

Finding Faith While Facing Loss
Rosanne: "’Why? Why me? Why this?’ That's still my biggest question. ‘Why?’”
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” ~
Rosanne: “Mark was our firstborn, he was a happy, full of wonder little boy.”
Rod: “There was a lot of delight in Mark. He loved the world. He fell in love with Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings story. He had a real active, imaginative mind.”
When Mark was 14, a classmate introduced him to pornography.
Rosanne: “It-it just – it changed him. Wonder and imagination just vanished it seemed like.”
Rod: “It just shut him down and shut all the light out of his eyes in a lot of ways.”
Rosanne: “And everything became about that obsession. We'd take away anything we found that were his sources, and we locked the computers the best we could, and we made rules. We made ground rules. And they were broken in, over and over again.”
The following year, Mark began using marijuana and dropped out of school.
Rod: “He took on a-a very, very combative nature. It was him against the world and him against us. And every step of the way where I had to take a hard stand, I had to close off a portion of my heart.”
Rosanne: “’Help me to love him’ was my biggest prayer. ‘God, I'm having a hard time loving this boy, my own son. I’m having a hard time loving him.’ God was faithful to remind me that he is in my son's life and he loves him more than I ever could imagine.”
They tried counseling and a private boarding school, but neither helped their son.
Rosanne: “It was hard cause over time it felt like we were losing him.”
Rod: “We had tried, we had tried everything and in every case I thought I had hope. And at every step I thought, ‘Well, he surely won't push it to the point where he has to leave the home.’ But he did.”
Rosanne: “He flunked out of school, and he was even stealing from us at some point to get money to buy drugs.”
Rod: “I had no question about what I had to do. There was nothing repentant about him. By the time he turned 18, I said, ‘You're going to have to leave.’ He never ceases to be your son, and that's the hardest part. It was hurting me. But I had to let him live with the consequences of what he chose to do.”
Mark became addicted to LSD and ecstasy. Over the next four years, he frequented jails and homeless shelters.
Rod: “He was like a zombie – wandering the streets at night and-and stepping out in traffic. And he disappeared; I remember having to go down and look for him, and not finding him. And how do you – how do you deal with that? That's where I felt the lowest…I had no plan.
Then, in May 2011, they heard from their son – he was finally ready to change and enrolled into rehab.
Rosanne: “We didn't think he was going to stay or make it, but he did! And after a few months he actually made a strong commitment to the Lord and was baptized. We saw light in his eyes we had not seen in a long, long time. We were so encouraged.”
But after years of drug use, Mark had become schizophrenic, and he dropped out of the program a few months later.
Rosanne: “He called us a few times – sometimes up. ‘I can do this.’ Sometimes crying, ‘I'm a loser, I should have never left.’ But I told him, ‘Honey, you always have second chances because God is a God of second chances. And you can do this. I love you. We love you. Jesus is with you. Just don't forget that.’ And he said, ‘I love you, Mom’ and he hung up.”
Mark disappeared in November 2011, leaving only his backpack on the front steps of a church. Four months later, they received a call — police found Mark's remains. He had jumped the fence of a nearby park and climbed into a covered slide, where he overdosed and never woke up.
Rosanne: “There's always the question of ‘Why didn't you stop him? You know you could. I know you could. You're the God of our hearts, right? You can call us out of darkness, why not?’…I remember our pastor at Mark's memorial service said, ‘You may ask the question: 'Where was Jesus when Mark took his life, when he took those pills?’ He said, "I would suggest to you that he was there and he caught him when he fell and took him home to be with him.’”
Rod: “We were all together as a family to receive that call. And it allowed us to grieve together as a family. The kids – they could see us grieve together about it and grieve in faith and grieve in trusting God. Each in their own way came to faith that they'll see him again, they'll see Mark again.”
Rosanne: “I know that God loved him all the way up to the end. I know that I can trust him with my children. And I know that what he does is right and good.”
Their faith kept the family together. Then, three years later, they were tested again when Rosanne was diagnosed with a brain tumor. It was benign but fast growing, and it was destroying her hearing, sight, and balance organs.
Rosanne: “What went through my mind was ‘Really, God?! I don’t understand why.’”
Still, she knew that trusting God was more important than knowing why.
Rosanne: “What he's shown me is that when he takes away, he gives something better in return because He's given me Himself. In all the losses that I've gone through, I have sought him and I've found him.”
The tumor was removed, and while it left Rosanne with double vision, loss of balance, and complete deafness in her right ear, she chose to be grateful.
Rosanne: “As I learned to thank God for the little things and for the things I have left, it gave me joy. I began to understand what James meant when he said ‘Count it all joy, brothers, when you go through trials of many kinds.’ How can you otherwise recognize God's goodness in every part of your life? I thank God that even though I've lost part of my hearing, I can still hear a bird song in the mornings. And I thank God that I can still look through my camera and see his beauty. I have a husband who loves me and cares for me. I have three beautiful children, and now two grandsons, and another on the way. I have a church body that came around us during the time of Mark's death that just blew us away with their love. How can I not be grateful?”
Through their sorrows, they have found the meaning of joy. And through their passions, they have found the beauty of God.
Rod: “I find that I fall in love with the pottery when I make it. I can put my thumb in and it shows. I can put a stamp in it; it shows that pattern. And then I cut it off the wheel and I set it aside and it dries. And it’s not soft and pliable anymore. It's hard. And it's kind of lifeless. Then when it comes through the final firing, it's just like ‘Wow!’ It takes on a whole new life. There is almost a pathway of death and rebirth in that whole process that I think is reflected in what we've come through – what each one of us goes through as God brings us through death, really into new life in-in Him and it’s His work. And He brings you forth into something that really, really glorifies Him.”
Rosanne: “I love capturing light. I love the way God has created light and the way it filters through things, the way it changes colors…the way the landscape changes. I get up in the mornings and I look out and the first thing I see is a sunrise. It's just a constant reminder of his faithfulness. Every day the sun rises. He's there – every day, he's with me. He never fails, never ever fails.”
