Healing and Revival
John Graham Lake was born on March 18, in Ontario, Canada. When he was small his family moved to Michigan, in the United States. While he was still young, Lake attended a Salvation Army meeting and became convicted of his need for a savior, and he invited Jesus to become Lord of life. Lake was incredibly impacted by illness. He was one of sixteen children, and over the course of his young life eight of them died. He grew to hate the sickness, grief, and death that was so much a part of his family life.
Lake felt a call to the ministry, and studied to become a Methodist minister. He took to heart the Methodist teaching on sanctification and sought it passionately. When his studies were done, however, he made a decision to go into business and start a newspaper in Illinois. Then he moved back to Michigan and began a career in real estate.

The Life Of John Lake
ART BY STEPHEN CHEN
The examples of some people’s lives make it very easy to believe in the Lord. The life of John Graham Lake was one such life. It can be measured as one long string of miracles. He was born in Ontario, Canada, on March 18, He came from a large family of eighteen and they moved to Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan while he was still a young boy.
At age sixteen, Lake heard the gospel at a Salvation Army meeting and, shortly after, gave his life to Christ. Lake says, “I made my surrender to Him. The light of heaven broke into my soul, and I arose from my knees a son of God, and I knew it.”1
One difficult trial which faced the Lake family was that of chronic illness. Four of Lake’s brothers and four of his sisters died prematurely from illnesses. Lake says, “For thirty-two years some member of our family was an invalid.” 2 He said, further, that “During this period our home was never without the shadow of sickness.” 3His childhood memories were filled with “sickness, doctors, nurses, hospitals, hearses, funerals, graveyards and tombstones; a sorrowing household; a broken-hearted mother and a grief-stricken father, struggling to forget the sorrows of the past in order to assist the living members of the family who needed their love
