In the year 1998, one day while he was praying, he received miraculous healing. He received supernatural strength from that day onwards. At about the same time one of his close friends who was also an evangelist died of asthma. It is in this context Evangelist Dr. Eabenson James understood that God had given him a new life.

What have you done for me?” This is the incident that prompted Evangelist Dr. Eabenson James to preach the good news of Jesus Christ.
