In 2019, Hanh Hua’s faith in miracles transformed a quiet family dinner into a divine encounter that forever changed her father-in-law Sun’s life.
Diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer that had metastasized to his colon, Sun, a lifelong Buddhist, was frail and barely mobile after surgery to remove a foot of his intestine.
Hanh, newly walking with Jesus and emboldened by the Holy Spirit’s power, prayed for supernatural healing despite Sun’s resistance. What followed was a cascade of heaven-sent interventions that eradicated his cancer and led to a profound conversion, astonishing his family and doctors as they witnessed the Holy Spirit’s transformative work.
A Bold Prayer: The Holy Spirit Immediately Sparks
Sun’s journey began with Hanh’s unwavering faith.
When he rebuffed her offer to pray, citing his Buddhist beliefs, Hanh refused to back down.
“I made up my mind I wasn’t leaving without praying for him,” she recalls.
Silently, while holding his hand, she commanded the “spirit of cancer” to leave and spoke healing over his body. The effect was instantaneous: Sun’s demeanor shifted, and he unexpectedly said, “Thank you.”
Later, he confided to his son, “When Hanh prayed for me, I felt something. What was that?” Hanh believes it was the Holy Spirit, a tangible sensation of divine power that pierced his skepticism.
This moment was extraordinary in its cultural context.
For an Asian man of Sun’s generation to vocalize such a feeling was rare, given the emotional reserve typical of his background. “For him to say, ‘I felt something,’ it must have been big,” Jan reflects, likening it to her own grandfather’s stoic recounting of a ghostly encounter.
Sun’s admission marked the first crack in his lifelong Buddhist worldview, setting the stage for a miraculous transformation.
Progressive Miracles: Healing Body and Soul
Hanh and her husband began a weekly ritual of prayer and discipleship, nurturing Sun’s fledgling faith.
“It’s not enough to set someone free, you have to disciple them to retain that healing,” Hanh explains, likening her role to a “mama bear” shielding a vulnerable new believer.
Within three weeks, Sun’s physical condition visibly improved. His pallor gave way to rosy cheeks, and he began walking around the block, regaining strength despite not yet starting chemotherapy. “Life was flowing into him,” Hanh says, marveling at his regenerating vitality.
When Sun began chemo, another miracle emerged: he experienced none of the debilitating side effects that typically ravage stage four cancer patients.
While others struggle with nausea, exhaustion, and immune suppression, Sun was digging holes to plant trees in his garden and performing physical labor that no chemo patient could do. By the fifth month, his PSA levels, a measure of cancer cells, plummeted from 6.8 to 0.06, effectively zero. A full PET scan confirmed he was cancer-free, leaving doctors astonished and stunned. Sun knew the truth.
“It was the Holy Spirit that cured me, not the chemo.”
From Buddhist to Christian - A Conversion That Defies Culture
Sun’s physical healing was miraculous, but his spiritual rebirth was the greater triumph. By the sixth month, he declared, “I want to be a Christian because I knew who healed me.” He chose baptism, a radical departure for a man steeped in Buddhist tradition.
During the video interview, Jan underscores the magnitude of this shift: “For Sun to turn his back on everything he’s known and do a 180, that’s huge… It’s an actual encounter with God. Which is a miracle in of itself.”
His conversion was not just a change of belief but a cultural upheaval, as lifelong Buddhists of his generation rarely make such a public pivot.
To this day, Sun’s faith endures. He regularly asks for prayer and makes “declarations of who he is in the Lord,” a testament to the lasting impact of his encounter.
His story echoes the transformative journeys of others, like Leo Orlov, who survived a catastrophic brain injury through prayer and divine timing, or Rick Thomas, whose angelic visitation turned an atheist’s life toward radiant faith.
In each case, a bold act of faith, Hanh’s silent prayer, Oxana’s global prayer mobilization, or Rick’s desperate cry, ignited a chain of miracles that defied medical and cultural expectations.
A Testimony to Inspire
Sun’s story is a beacon of hope, illustrating that no diagnosis or cultural barrier is too great for divine intervention.
“God can work miracles as fast as you’re willing to receive them,” Jan says, a sentiment Hanh embodies through her childlike faith and fearless persistence.
For those facing illness or spiritual desolation, Sun’s journey offers a challenge to dare to believe, pray boldly, and expect the impossible.
As Hanh puts it, the ultimate miracle isn’t just healing the body but “saving somebody eternally.”
