Hello, my name is Adora DeGraff, and this is my story.
Four years ago, God called me to Charis Bible College. Fear and obstacles held me back until a friend—who knew nothing about Charis—had a dream of me there. I knew it was confirmation from the Lord.
At the time, I was battling chronic fatigue, past trauma, and no clear direction. Desperate for change, I packed my car and drove to Charis, trusting God. I had suffered multiple near-death experiences, from severe illness, brain injury, car accidents, concussions, and a lacerated cornea; but this time, my heart was failing. With over fifteen daily palpitations, and chest pain, I knew I was again dying, but God saved my life and healed me yet again. That night at Freedom Church, I surrendered to God’s love as He told me: "Only receive." I wept for an hour—and my heart was completely healed.
I stayed in Woodland Park for a month, believing for a financial miracle to enroll. As an international student, I needed $34,000 CAD. The funds arrived six days late, and I was told it I could no longer enroll, because I missed the deadline. Refusing defeat, I ran to Andrew Wommack, shared my story, and within minutes, he came back with Mike Pickett and he said, "Welcome to Charis."
Now, I face another mountain: staying for year two and three. I am believing for $40,000 minimum to continue my studies, grow in worship ministry, and pursue film production to inspire others , as I have also been inspired. With no family or support in Canada, I long to make this my home and fulfill God’s calling on my life.
