Miracle Healing Church.
133 Bituru Kenya.
From Rev Jong Embark

Dear Brother and Sister in Christ.

This is a message from Miracle Healing Chruch. Am Rev Jong Embark, a
man
of God of which God has been using me in many ways of healing people
with
different problem, but the issue is that God want you to be free from
all
type of problem. And again it is not the will of God that the Children
of
God will suffer.

All you have to do is for you to try an beleive you will find out that
the
God of yesterday is still the same God of Today and Tomorrow.

My reason of writing you this message is that God want you to assist
him,
in developing our branch in your Country, but the fact is that our
funds
is deposited with a Security Company in aboard, simply because our
church
got fired early this month which is 1 of july 2004. And my Secretary
together with the Church committee died in that process.

Have been working towarding this issue to make sure that l get across
to a
good christian that can assist my church in receiving the funds with
the
Security Company, but l will provide to you the documents that was used

to
deposit the funds with the Security Company with the Church's name
Miracle
Healing Church, and you shall be going to claim the funds with the
Security Company as one of the members of our church Miracle Healing
Chruch. Then the Security Company will now beleive that you are a
member
of miracle Healing Church, whereby the consignment will ne handle over
to
you with the documents we shall send to you.

But bear in mind that the consigment was deposited to the Security
Company
as a Chruch tressure Box, it was been deposited by my late Secretary
Elder.Samuel Mila, who died in that incident.

The Chruch will like you to send to your telepone number and address,
before we shall now issue to you our members card, as one of the member

of
Miracle healing Church. lf possible you shall inform me on what type of
good site to Establish the Church in your country.

Amount deposited shall be disclosed to you, after your response.

Yours Truly,
Rev Jong Embark.
Best Regard,s
