The Story
Kenneth Chinn, a financial advisor from East Texas, experienced a near-death event from COVID-19 pneumonia. He fell ill on Christmas Eve 2021, tested positive, and his condition worsened. On January 4, 2022, doctors admitted him to the hospital, where he refused a ventilator and used a BiPAP machine instead. Alone in his room that night, he prayed desperately, recalling Bible stories of survival. He saw his body covered in a glowing, alive white light that first scared him but brought calmness and love. He heard a voice three times say, 'You shall live and declare the glory of God.' This gave him strength to fight through the night. He felt a surge of God's spirit when a nurse entered later. After surviving a month in the hospital and losing 32 pounds, Chinn gained a deeper appreciation for life. He wrote the book 'An Encounter with the Healer' to share his story and emphasize persistent prayer. He continued his Chinn Guitar Project, donating guitars for music therapy in children's hospitals.
