Chronic fatigue victim claims miracle healing

Alan Wallace

Alan Wallace

A 24-year-old Ballymena man has revealed how be believes God performed a
miracle - curing his chronic fatigue syndrome last week at a meeting in an
Elim church.

Alan Wallace, a former youth trainer, said he had suffered from chronic
fatigue syndrome for 17 months.

The illness involved him having to leave his Belfast-based job and move home
to his parents in Ballymena.

Alan's story comes after claims from the Elim church that a "miracle" had
saved 18-year-old Andrew Duffin's life. The Belfast teenager said he died
for 16 minutes in a hospital operating theatre but revived after his father,
a Christian, made an international appeal for prayer.

Andrew's and Alan's cases are being seen as part of an international
Pentecostal healing movement which began in Florida.

Dozens of people are now attending nightly meetings in the Elim church in
Tigers Bay - led by Pastor Brian Madden.

Alan said: "I had chronic fatigue syndrome for 17 months. It was very bad.
Most of the time I was in my bed and could not go out the door. On good days
I could do something small, but then I would be wrecked for about three days
and have to lie in bed.

"Then only a few weeks ago I heard about the healings going on at the Elim
church in Belfast. I went online to see what was happening.

"The first night I went online I heard Pastor Brian Madden mention that God
was calling on him to help someone with chronic fatigue syndrome, but I felt
nothing. The second night I went online he said the same thing and I
honestly felt something, like a tingle in my body. It was like God was
touching me and I was getting more energy. I knew I had to get up to that
church."

After getting in touch with a member of the Elim congregation an arrangement
was made for him to be taken up to Tigers Bay the following night - Monday,
June 9.

"When I got to the meeting that night it was not Pastor Brian but another
preacher called Bobby Sullivan. When I got there I did not feel as drained
as normal. I just felt a bit better, it was nothing major. Then when the
worship started and during it I felt able to stand up, which I would not
have normally been able to do.

"Then my body started to tingle with excitement. It almost started
vibrating. Then the preachers asked for people who wanted healing to come
up. Or if anyone felt they had been touched at all by God to come up. So I
thought I would go up."

He said when he got to the stage he started to tremble again. Alan said the
next day he felt "a little different and better".

"Compared to how I had felt before, I had loads more energy, but I did not
have a mad energy boost. But I was able to go out for coffee that day which
I could not have done before.

"I went to the service every night that week till the Friday."

Last weekend, for the first time in two years, Alan was able to go away for
the weekend.

"My girlfriend and I went to Scotland for the weekend to see friends," he
said.
