Responding to crises in people's lives through telephone counseling, using prayer and the Word of God - this is the heart of The 700 Club Counseling Center. And true to its mission, the Center has responded to over 400,000 calls since 1995, all from people who needed encouragement, prayer, sound advice, answers to questions, or simply someone to talk to.

Manned by dedicated and trained telephone counselors, the Center operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Working in support of CBN Asia's television ministry, particularly its flagship program The 700 Club Asia, counselors are ready to take calls anytime from viewers touched by the show.

Over the years, God's power to heal the sick, transform lives and restore broken relationships has been made real in the lives of so many people who have called the Center asking for prayers and seeking God's will in their lives.

One such story is that of breast and lung cancer survivor Mary Ann dela Cruz. Last August 11, a counselor received a call from Mary Ann who regularly called the Center to ask for prayers for healing. But this time, she called to share that God has finally healed her.

In 1996, Mary Ann was diagnosed with stage 2B breast cancer. Soon, she began calling the Counseling Center to ask for prayers. Even though a Christian, Mary Ann was angry and questioned God and stopped going to church. A separated single mother, Mary Ann thought her illness was a curse for all her sins in the past. But in spite of how angry she felt towards God, Mary Ann continued to call the Center for prayer and encouragement.

Over the years, the cancer transferred from her left breast to the right, and she eventually had to undergo mastectomy. Wanting to survive, Mary Ann underwent all possible treatments for cancer - chemotherapy, radiation, lumpectomy, immuno therapy, and various surgeries, along with different kinds of medications.

In July 2003, doctors found lumps in her lungs the size of 25-centavo coins. Within 30 days, the growth multiplied from 3 to 15 lumps, and doctors diagnosed her case as stage 4 lung cancer. This time, instead of feeling more angry, Mary Ann saw it as a wake-up call from God. She knew God was calling her and her children back to Him. Mary Ann and her two kids recommitted their lives to Christ and began attending church once again. It was then that her relationship with her kids and family began to flourish.

Still, Mary Ann's battle with cancer continued, and she developed complications - type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart enlargement and arthritis. By this time, her family hardly had any money left to sustain her treatment and medication.

Then, last August 9, during a routine chest x-ray, doctors were surprised to find her lungs clear of any growth. Perplexed, doctors suggested that Mary Ann undergo the test again, and for the second time it showed that the lumps in her lungs had disappeared. Somewhat still unconvinced, Mary Ann was asked to have her chest x-rayed for the third time, and by God's miracle it was indeed clear. She underwent a couple of other tests, and doctors diagnosed her totally healed of cancer.

Mary Ann gives all the glory to God for her miraculous healing. She is also deeply thankful to counselors of The 700 Club Counseling Center for tirelessly praying for her through her nine years of battle with cancer. And in time, God answered their prayers. Today, Mary Ann is a committed member of their church choir, while her kids are with the dance and music ministry.

Mary Ann is only one of thousands whose lives have been touched by the power of God through The 700 Club Counseling Center. Regardless of belief or station in life, the 700 Club counselors are always ready to pray for and encourage people in need.
