THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR HEALING: ANYONE CAN BE HEALED OF ANY DISEASE by Adelle Penn-Brown, D. Min.
The Truth About Your Healing: Anyone Can Be Healed of Any Disease by Adelle Penn-Brown, D. Min.If you are fed up and exhausted of being sick, this is your book. When medical science says it’s a chronic disease, you don’t have to live stuck in that dimension. There’s healing for every disease and every sickness. This book tells you why anyone can be healed of any disease and how you can be healed of any disease.Adelle was born and raised on the island of St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. In her early teens she made Jesus Lord of her life and had her first missionary trip to the island of Anguilla shortly thereafter. Her salvation dramatically changed her life. She went from an extrovert to an introvert because of her lack of understanding that the new birth was indeed truly a new birth. She had several supernatural experiences. Her first missionary trip opened her eyes to ministry. She completed her bachelor’s degree in three years from Creighton University in Social Work so she could use the finances designated for her fourth year to attend Rhema Bible Training Center in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. In 1982 she graduated from Rhema. In 1983 she returned to St. Thomas and was instrumental in the establishment of VI Christian Ministries. In 2005 she received her Doctorate of Divinity in Conflict Management from Trinity Theological Seminary which was endorsed by the University of Liverpool, England. She’s authored several books, one of which is “The Truth About Your Healing (Anyone Can Be Healed of Any Disease).” Adelle pastored over 30 years and has traveled and ministered in several countries including Australia, Belgium, Kenya, China, Hong Kong, Czech Republic, Croatia, Sarajevo, Taiwan. This new season is a compilation of everything over the past 40 years for the purpose of building, engaging and strengthening Christian communities and leaders, as was God’s original plan. This is being accomplished through writing, short term missions and ministry of the Word.https://www.amazon.com/Truth-About-Your-Healing-Disease-ebook/dp/B0BVNPC2R1/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=%22The+Truth+About+Your+Healing+Anyone+Can+Be+Healed+of+Any+Disease%22&qid=1693485965&s=books&sr=1-1https://www.amazon.com/63-Days-Your-Healing-Miracle-ebook/dp/B0BVNZ18HT/ref=sr_1_1?crid=SR0WJKN01FSO&keywords=63+Days+%2B%2F-+to+Your+Healing+and+Mirahttps://covenantbooks.com/books/?book=the-truth-about-your-healinghttps://covenantbooks.com/books/?book=63-days-plusminus-your-healing-and-miraclewww.AdelleBrown.org info@adellebrown.orghttp://www.KingPagesPress.comhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/9723kpp1.mp3
