Dear Brothers, Sisters and Pastors, May I humbly request to keep me in your prayers, My name is Jonathan Tan. I’m a Chinese, from Malaysia, born with a rare, severe dry skin disease called Ichthyosis, since birth (1996) now 30 years (2026), covered from head to toe, not one part is spared. Ichthyosis is a rare skin disorder that affects the skin regeneration cycle. My skin metabolism regenerates and change skin cells too quickly, instead of every 28 days like a normal person, I change / shed and regenerates every 1-2 days. The accumulated dead skin cells causes dryness, thickness of the skin layer and blocking moisture from entering and exiting my skin, which disables me to perspire and regulate body temperature correctly because of blocked pores. I’m often inflamed, red and hot on my complexion. Cracks and peelings is my daily. Pain, suffering and embarrassment has never left me since I’ve been alive, Not even a day of having a normal skin. I’m a 2nd gen Christian. Attends church regularly, sunday schools, youth…etc I’ve been to multiple healing services, rallies, conferences. Prayed for, laid hands and anointed oil by many pastors, elders, evangelists, apostles and have travelled near and far to find cure, regardless of spiritual, natural or medical ways. Have spent a fortune on medical and natural remedies only to no avail. Please pray that my skin’s basic function will return to its default settings and that my skin metabolism will revert to its original regeneration cycle, 28 days instead of every 2 days. and for my pores to be unblocked and allow perspiration to occur. Whatever the cause is, whether its Genetics, Medical complication or Spiritual Attack, God is Greater than ALL of these. Please pray for me and with me. Thank you and God Bless.28

请让我为你祷告：
天父，我们把 Jonathan Tan 带到你面前。
从他出生的那一天起，他的身体就遭受着皮肤病的折磨。皮肤本该在时间中慢慢代谢更新，却在加速；本该保护他，却成了他日日承受痛楚。
Cracks, inflammation, heat, pain — these are not abstract words to him,
they are his everyday life.
主啊，你比一切原因更大，
You are greater than genetics, greater than disease, greater than what we cannot explain.
你看见他一次又一次祷告，被抹油、被祝福、被差遣去“继续相信”；你也看见祷告之后，疼痛依旧回来，盼望一次次落空。主啊，你说凡事都有定期，我们请求你施恩于他。
主啊，求你让他的皮肤病快些好转。
Let him know he is not abandoned in his body.
在他红肿、灼热、疼痛的时候，
在他因外貌而感到被关注的时候
请你靠近他。
给他刚强壮胆的意志。
因为我们知道，你不轻看这具受苦的身体。
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Dear Jonathan**,**
Thank you for sharing your story with such honesty. Your courage and faith, even through years of pain, are deeply moving. I want you to know you are not forgotten, your brothers and sisters in Christ stand with you, and the Lord is near to you.
I am praying that God will touch your skin, calm the inflammation, restore your body’s natural rhythm, and bring comfort to your daily life. Nothing about your condition is beyond His power or His compassion. May He surround you with peace, strengthen your heart, and remind you that you are deeply loved and never alone.
I will continue to lift you up in prayer.
