Tom Was Healed From Heart Disease as a Result of Alcoholism

I suffered from very serious heart failure in 2005 which was caused by excessive alcohol. When I left school in the early 1970’s I came to Port Moresby and was employed as a salesman with a brewing company (which is next to the Rally venue today). My job was to sell as much beer as I could because we had a competition with our sister company. I was privileged to be given a vehicle on a 24 hour basis and sales allowance so I had everything I wanted at that time. Women and alcohol were part of my life 7 days a week. I had to drink and promote this beer in all the entertainment and drinking outlets around Port Moresby. This job took me around the country and I ended up at New Guinea Islands region and I was basically doing sales in many townships including Kimba, Rabaul and Kavia. I was promoted to Assistant Area Sales Manager.

As I said earlier, entertainment was part of my life so I have done most of the things that the Bible describes in Galatians 5:19-21. That type of life broke me and I came to Lae in 1985. I had a job with the University of Technology until 2005 when the heart failure due to excessive alcohol caught up with me. I had to be admitted to hospital. The chief physician sent me to Port Moresby to hospital where I had treatment but it did not help to heal me. The doctors sent me back to Lae so I could stay close to my relatives because they knew I was going to die.

The message of repentance was brought to me by one of the leaders in the Revival Centre Fellowship. He told me to repent, get baptised and receive the Holy Spirit, which I did on 20 August 2005. The Lord healed me from this dreadful sickness and I know I would not be standing here today before if I had not actioned the salvation message.
