As I grew older, I became involved in drugs and ended up in an abusive relationship and feeling depressed. After being diagnosed with breast cancer and enduring the severe effects of chemotherapy, I received an invitation to go to The Universal Church. I began attending the services, and I received the Holy Oil. After the anointing and prayers, I am happy to say that God gave me victory over cancer. Today, I am healthy and no longer depressed, and free from all addictions.\u00a0 (Umeka Holley, from California)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Save the Date<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On <strong>Sunday, September 15th at 10 AM<\/strong> at <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/universalchurchusa.org\/en\/locations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Universal Church.<\/a><\/span> For information on locations, please <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">click\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/universalchurchusa.org\/en\/locations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">here<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0For more information, please\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">call\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"tel:18883324141\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">1-888-332-4141<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">or\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">text to 1-888-312-4141.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em><strong>*DISCLAIMER:<\/strong> The Holy Anointing Oil is an element of faith and is NOT a replacement for any medical treatment.
