Ailin and Kenneth's Testimony

My name is Ailin Iwan and I got to know Pastor Basil Frasure through his website www.wholeperson-counseling.org. Previously, my husband and I lived in Hong Kong and at the end of 2017, I found his website because I read many inspiring testimonies about healing through his counseling. I have a lot of personal issues at that point in time and I thought that I also need a counseling that is not secular but a counseling that is based on the Bible. Pastor Basil’s website is really well-organized and full of a lot of information and many resources from the Bible. One of the topics that I read is about emotional wounds and identity issues. I learned so much from Pastor Basil’s teaching online and felt moved by many of the testimonies that motivated me in wanting to see him in person and to receive counseling from him. I told my husband, Kenneth, that I wanted to go to San Angelo, Texas to receive Pastor Basil’s counseling. Thankfully, my husband agreed on this and then planned our trip to Texas on our 3 rd years of our wedding anniversary.

It was a long flight from Hong Kong to San Angelo, Texas, but we made it through. Meeting with Pastor Basil for the first time was a memorable experience. He is a friendly and Godly man. He told us that we need about 2 weeks of counseling. We had our notebook and Bible then we had a few hours of counseling with Pastor Basil per-day. Pastor Basil explained to us about breaking generational curse, which is very important for us because both of us grew up in non-Christian families and there were so many un-biblical ways of life that perhaps we unconsciously practiced. Pastor Basil explained many things to us and he also prayed for us. Both Kenneth and I grew up in traditional Chinese families whereas our parents seldom praise us or give us confirmation that we are precious. When we became Christians, we carried this wrong way of thinking to project God as a demanding and a critical God, like our parents. As consequence even though both of us became Christians, we have the tendency to ask God for approval instead of knowing that we are precious and we are already approved by God through Jesus Christ, His Son.

Pastor Basil also gave us many examples about God’s love, Jesus’ teaching, and how to live as Christians using various models that he created by himself. We read books that Pastor Basil wrote and we were given so many Bible topical leaflets. These resources are so valuable for us to learn. Pastor Basil prayed for us to break the soul ties with all the negative experiences. The two weeks counseling period with Pastor Basil was truly refreshing for our faith. God also has been very kind to us that somehow during this time after 3 years of marriage without a baby, God opened my womb in San Angelo, Texas. After the counseling time finished, we went back to Hong Kong. Pastor Basil and our family becomes good friends and he always makes himself available whenever I have issues in life and needs someone to talk so that I can receive Godly insights before making any decisions. A few years after that, in 2022, we got the chance to visit Pastor Basil again in San Angelo. At this time, we brought our miracle child, Melissa, who was 4 years old. Pastor Basil and Elayne (his wife) were kindly spent time with us during this trip and prayed for us. I sincerely appreciate Pastor Basil’s kindness, Godly characters, and friendship.
