My name is Susi, and I was born in Banyuwangi. My family was a very normal Javanese family, so I grew up in that atmosphere.

I married when I was 14 years old, then I migrated to Bali in 1982.

I became interested in the Lord Jesus when some of my relatives talked about Jesus and I started watching programs on television.

Then on Christmas Day 2020, I was invited to take a picnic on the beach of Bali Beach, to celebrate Christmas Day. There was a foreigner holding the event. During the picnic, he shared about the Lord Jesus, and he explained the way of salvation. Only then did I begin to understand how my sins could be forgiven.

Before Christmas, I had had stomach ulcers for more than a year. When I ate, my stomach became swollen and hard, so I was afraid to eat. The disease really disturbed my life. For a period of more than a year, even though I was frequently treated by doctors, and took a lot of expensive drugs, I was still sick. The pain was so bad, I even fainted.

On Christmas Day on the beach, I was prayed for by the man who preached the Bible message, and I immediately felt something was happening in my stomach. After that time, I never felt the ulcers again. I was able to eat as usual, and I was completely cured!

So, starting from there, I started to believe in the Lord Jesus, and started to attend Bible studies at the House of Life Renewal, Sanur.

What I’ve been experiencing since Christmas 2020, is a release from anger. I used to be quite irritable, and I was often angry at anything and anyone, until I yelled at people.

But after I accepted the Lord Jesus I have been much more patient, and I feel joy instead of anger! My heart is so much happier now that Jesus lives in my heart! Praise be to God!
