In a world frequently defined by adversity, KoHsin Chang Illingworth shines as a beacon of hope, strength, and healing. Recently recognized as the Best HIV Recovery Advocate in the USA for 2025, this accolade underscores her tireless efforts to support those living with HIV, offer emotional healing, and raise awareness about HIV stigma and its impact on mental health. KoHsin’s journey from trauma to triumph is a powerful testament to the restorative power of faith and her unwavering belief that Jesus Christ brings healing, restoration, and deliverance.
From HIV to Christ: A Journey of Healing and Restoration
KoHsin’s story is one of resilience. Diagnosed with HIV in 2010 following a traumatic rape, she faced the harsh reality of living with the virus. However, instead of succumbing to despair, she embraced Jesus Christ again. Today, she experiences healing not only physically but also emotionally and spiritually. She continues to take Anti-Viral HIV medication, and by the grace of God, her viral load is now undetectable. KoHsin strongly believes that God gave her a second chance at life and a purpose to live. She is trusting God for her full healing.
Her testimony, “From HIV to Christ,” has resonated with countless individuals across the globe, offering hope to those grappling with HIV and trauma.
In her own words: “When I was infected with millions of HIV viruses and on the verge of death, God intervened and saved my life.” Over the years, KoHsin’s unwavering faith in God has led her through a miraculous healing journey. Through medical treatment, the power of prayer, and speaking and declaring the Word of God, her HIV viral load dropped dramatically from 25,000 to zero in a short period of time. Her favorite scripture is Isaiah 53:5: “Jesus was pierced for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes, we are healed.”
Healing In Victory Ministry International
Healing In Victory Ministry International is dedicated to inspiring people to believe in Jesus Christ. KoHsin’s ministry has already touched millions of lives worldwide. From rural villages in Kenya to women’s prisons in Taiwan, KoHsin has boldly shared her testimony, offering emotional support and spiritual guidance to those in need. She has spoken in churches, schools, charities, and prisons across multiple nations. Today, she is a pioneer evangelist, empowering people to believe that they can overcome the obstacles in their lives by believing in Jesus Christ.
One of the significant milestones in her ministry occurred when KoHsin became the first woman to speak about HIV stigma on Taiwanese Gospel TV. Her courageous appearance on the channel, followed by her appearances on Kenya TV and BBC Leeds, helped spread the message that there is certainly hope through Jesus Christ and that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Her story has been featured across many media platforms through the years, as God continues to use her testimony to inspire hope in others.
Her powerful testimony video aired on Taiwan’s Good TV, reaching over 95,000 viewers, further solidifying her global impact. As a result, her story has been translated into multiple languages, enabling her message of healing and hope to reach communities across Asia, America, Africa, and the globe.
The Power of Forgiveness, Healing, and Deliverance
A central theme in KoHsin’s testimony is the power of forgiveness. Having survived several traumas, including sexual assault and the stigma of HIV, she speaks openly about the importance of letting go of bitterness. She believes the power of forgiveness allows healing to take place, both physically and emotionally. Her story offers a message of freedom and liberation, emphasizing that one is no longer a victim but a child of God, healed in victory through the cross. Many individuals living with HIV have received healing after reading her story online, sending her positive messages of thanks and support.
A Champion for Empowering Women and Families
KoHsin is passionate about empowering women. In 2021, she authored Real Mums, Real Struggles, Real Love, Real Jesus, a book featuring twenty-two stories from mothers around the world who have faced challenges such as HIV, trauma, and infertility. The book has been translated into multiple languages, providing comfort and solidarity to women across the globe. KoHsin’s message is clear: mothers are not alone, and God understands their struggles.
Her unwavering support for mothers is rooted in her belief that they deserve to be heard, supported, and encouraged as they navigate the complexities of life. Her book continues to touch lives, offering a space for mothers to share their struggles and realize they are not alone in their trials because God is with them.
KoHsin’s Expanding Ministry and Global Reach
In 2025, KoHsin was awarded the Best HIV Recovery Advocate in the USA for her relentless commitment to this work. This recognition is a testament to the years of hard work, compassion, and dedication she has poured into her advocacy.
Her mission is far from over. In 2025, she will travel to the United States as the keynote speaker for the International Women’s Conference in Harrisburg, PA, organized by Bishop Terri Thomas. The conference will focus on empowering women of all backgrounds to strengthen their faith and trust in God. KoHsin’s message to the American people is clear: no matter their past struggles, they should not doubt but only believe.
A Support System of Faith
KoHsin’s journey has been supported by a strong network of family, friends, and faith leaders. Most importantly, her husband and their miracle daughter—born without HIV—serve as daily reminders of God’s miracle in her life. The unwavering support from her Church network has been essential as she continues to expand her global ministry and spread the gospel message to all people.
A Look Ahead: Continuing the Mission of Healing and Restoration
As KoHsin’s ministry grows, her message remains clear: no one is beyond the reach of God’s healing love. Her commitment to HIV recovery, mental health awareness, and empowering women continues to stand as a testament to the profound impact one person’s calling and dedication can have on countless lives. Through her healing ministry, books, and preaching of the gospel, KoHsin is living proof of God’s miraculous power—from a woman once dying of full-blown AIDS to a Minister of the Gospel, healing evangelist, and international speaker.
