The wife of a healing evangelist who preached in front of thousands has been left heartbroken after his sudden death from a short illness.
John Mellor, the internationally famous evangelist from Queensland's Sunshine Coast, died on March 17 having devoted 47 years to Christianity after converting at 20-years-old.
His theatrical sermons had his followers believe they had been cured from serious ailments such as cancer, blindness and Parkinson's disease.
The apparent healing qualities of Mr Mellor's preaching gained him international fame, performing across the globe and on television.
His wife, Julie Mellor, wrote that Mr Mellor was 'called to heaven way too soon' and that he would be 'having the time of his life with Jesus'.
