I would like to share my experience of the benefit of attending BEC. I am from BEC St. Mark 1.

In June 2014, I had a rude shock when my 12 year old daughter went into depression, she was bullied in school and isolated by her teachers, and she felt as if no one loves her. She was afraid of being herself in crowd. She didn’t want to mix with anyone. She lost her self-esteem. She would cling to us, parents and the more I try to help her, the more depressed I became and slowly, I started to f… Read more

In 1996, I contracted a disease that baffled the doctors. It started with a sudden high fever and I gradually lost my ability to walk. The pain when my feet touched the ground was so excruciating that it felt as if my bone would shatter into pieces. I was admitted to the hospital where the doctors suspected an autoimmune disorder that had caused my body to shut down. I developed rashes all over my legs and my blood infection level kept increasing at a very alarming level. The rashes began to… Read more

I don’t feel like going to the healing mass initially after a long day at work. The thought getting stronger when I saw Grab fare hikes was high. It was double the price that I usually grab to church. However, I still had to go because I have promised someone that I’ll be there! Healing mass started with praise and worship. The woman sitting next to me caught my attention. She was hopping and clapping with joy throughout the praise and worship. My heart sank for a while. I almost can’t re… Read more

My name is Joyce and I am 32 years old. I was not a Christian until 3 years ago. Since secondary school I had a friend and teacher talk to me about Christ. I have even followed them to Church once in a while. I believed in the existence of God but my belief in Jesus wasn’t strong and I did not follow Him.

My turning point happened 4 years ago. My aunt and uncle both died of colon cancer. I saw them suffer a lot during that period. Then, my father was diagnosed with nose cancer and during the… Read more

I had been suffering severe migraine attacks over a period of 3 long months. The pain became so unbearable that my worried family wanted me to get an MRI scan to find the root cause. I was terrified that the doctors will indeed find something serious which I could not accept! After another night of terrible pain, I decided to attend healing mass on the 20/08/2022 at my parish, the Church of Divine Mercy, Penang. Our parish priest, Fr Michael Raymond invited us all to close our eyes and ‘s… Read more

For the past two years I had a persistent blocked nose due to constant sneezing and also a runny nose. As a result, I had difficulty in breathing. I had to breathe through my mouth, especially during the night. Whenever I woke up in the middle of the night, my mouth would get very dry and painful. I had seen an ENT specialist twice and he prescribed a steroid spray with some medication, but I did not get any better.

On Feb 14, 2015, I decided to go for the healing mass for the sick at the… Read more

This is the story of a couple from India, who moved to Penang 7 years ago when the husband found work as a guard. They lived happily, having been blessed with two beautiful daughters now aged 5 & 6. Disaster struck a few months ago when the 42-year-old husband suffered a massive heart attack and passed away. Many kind people around them including our CDM parishioners and Caritas helped with funeral arrangements, house rent, food and other basic necessities. All that the now widowed Selvi wan… Read more

God works in mysterious ways… Like me, I am sure many came for the weekend family formation with their own expectations. Would we be getting a series of tips and dos and don’ts? Formulae for happy families or more? While I certainly didn’t get the expected package…I believe God knew how to minister to each of our individual needs in His own miraculous way. The charismatic and spirit-filled formation leaders in the husband and wife pair of Darren Michael and Anna Coelho if nothing els… Read more

I’m not one of those people who has visions or has witnessed fabulous miracles but I have always felt the quiet whisper of God in my ear. Most times it is to lead me do some task or take on a role that perhaps I may have struggled to accept. Today, I know that sometimes God doesn’t just whisper, HE sends messages loud and clear. Such was the case which happened recently to me, perhaps because in my case I was happily oblivious, maybe even deaf to His will for me. The month of June 2019… Read more

On May 29th 2016, at Sunday Mass; 10 minutes into the sermon by Fr. Martin at Church of Divine Mercy, I saw a halo around Father Martin from head to toe.

Father Martin was talking about the Eucharist: the significance and importance of partaking in the Eucharist in the Catholic Church. I was attracted to this glowing incessantly bright yellow light which outlined the periphery of the whole body.

The yellow light tapered to white light before it blended into the surrounding environment. Thi… Read more
