Fought the good fight and finished the race! “Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. Bro. C.V. Prabaharan The sun will not beat down on them, Age 66 nor any scorching heat” (Rev. 7:16). Bro. C. Vijayaraj Prabaharan was born as the irst son to the God-fearing couple Mr. Chelliah David and Mrs. Santham David of Sawyerpuram, Tuticorin district on 31.03.1954. He was introduced to the Vishwa Vani ministry by Emil Annan in 1980, being one among the pioneer leaders. He was appointed to take care of the social development projects in the interior villages of South Tamilnadu. When he was called to uphold the mission in unreached interior villages of North India, he happily accepted His call and served as a development worker for full time. He was one among those who prayed together when Vishwa Vani was born at the Hare Island in Tuticorin. He also took much effort in the formation of Dhyana Nilayam in Palaverkadu and accomplished great works for the Lord. When the approach of Savings Boxes was introduced, he carried them to many district in Tamil Nadu. When Bro. S.G.P. Bhominathan went to be with the Lord on 21 October, 1992 Bro. C.V.Prabaharan took charge as the State Coordinator for Tamil Nadu. He mobilized prayer at the churches in Tamil Nadu and has played a remarkable role in development of ministry and so his ministry was fruitful! During the days when he established the of ices in Tuticorin, Madurai, Trichy, Coimbatore and Chennai, the weekly and monthly planning meetings of representatives and workers attained new height. The sweat that he shed during the State and District Camps yields its results even today in Tamil Nadu. His messages were illed with the love of God. It inspired the believers towards the gospel work. He shared the love of the father to all the missionaries who visited Tamil Nadu for ministry purpose. He also voiced for the radio messages in 1990s. He was simple at heart, clean in work, strict and caring, irm in his decisions, honouring the pastors, evangelists and representatives. He was clear in words and humble in life. Praying in knees, praying with tears, heart that never gave up faith, foot that traveled day and night for ministry, face illed with love all belongs to him.

Those who do not like to run towards the world! Have dedicated their lives to run towards Jesus Christ!
The world may seduce you! But Jesus will clear your eyes. All those who are enchanted will stop with their enchantment. Their heart has been tied with something or somebody in this world. Their time, money, and strength – everything will be utilized for it. Like the Prodigal son till his senses returned he was in stupor. The Holy Bible says: "the whole world is under the control of the evil one" (1 John 5:19) "Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God" (James 4:4) is the judgment of the Holy Bible. All those who desire to have peace, happiness, contented and happy heart, clean heart, clean in works, truthful mouth and victorious life, look only at Jesus! But those who run towards the world will not receive this! For those who run towards Jesus early in the morning will not only receive these but more than they think and ask for. The life's end time will be wonderful. Their life will be eternal life with Jesus Christ. "The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever" (1 John 2:17). There are some who have run along with the world and have fainted! And got nothing and staring by keeping hands in their chin There are some who ran towards Christ and got everything and praised Him! Which category are you? Your reward is based on your choice. The fruitfulness of your days will depend only on that.
SEPTEMBER 2020 Vishwa Vani Samarpan The days ahead of you can be used as you please. You can waste them by not being a blessing to your family or your loved ones. You can change those days as useless! Or else today, now look at Jesus and say, "Jesus, I am a er this world, I am tired, dried, and spoilt" Won't you bloom me again, who is withered? Won't you pour out the Holy Spirit into my dried heart? Won't you accept me who is spoilt? If you ask and fall at the feet of Jesus, there is a chance to start a run of faith. Those who have received such opportunity will travel around the world to share the gospel; Their legs will run like the deer and reach mountains, peaks and will cross deserts. Isaiah 43:2 talks about such feet, "When you pass through the waters, (From Red sea to Jordan) I will be with you; (I will hold your hands and walk with you) and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze"! The run from red sea to Jordan: The Israelites were slaves to Pharaoh for about 400 years and they were anguished. In the same way if you are slave to many sins and sinful thoughts. What did you achieve? You only had a troubled heart! Even the Israelites had such troubled hearts in their life of slavery. They cried towards the Lord to deliver them and to change their sorrows into joy. The Lord miraculously delivered them from the life of slavery in midnight from Pharaoh! The end of such deliverance is the Red sea. There is no slavery; there is a free life in the Lord! There is no sinful life but a life in Christ! Each day in our life is a miracle! For those who dwell in the life of salvation all through the day, it's miracle over miracles. SEPTEMBER 2020 Vishwa Vani Samarpan River Jordan: The Israelites entered Canaan only a er crossing the Jordan. The desire of Christ for those who run for Him should enter into "Heavenly Canaan". For that all of us have to cross the river of death one day. Then there will be victory! At that time angels will carry you and Chariots of fire will carry you! When you pass through the rivers... You receive the assurance of salvation and till you reach eternity – I will be with you. This is what Isaiah 43:2! In St. Ma . 28:20 it is said, "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age". What is the meaning of this? From the beginning till the end of the year All 365 days the Holy Spirit is ready to run with you. He will give strength according to your years He will give responsibilities according to your race. He will give you strength to overcome any problem you encounter Jesus will go in front of you. A note says, the word "Fear not" comes 365 times in the Holy Bible. Every day the voice of Jesus says, "My son, my daughter do not be afraid". Water: who are afraid of water? Rivers: Who are bold enough to put their feet in the rivers? Who will enter into the rivers without the protection like boats and ships? River Nile is the longest river in the world and it runs for a distance of 4160 miles. In that river a small child named Moses is floating in a basket made of bamboo by his mother! The basket which has to be washed down by the river is floating! The Lord was with the baby in the basket. In this world 60% is filled with water which are the rivers, seas and oceans. In this world men are not destined to walk on grassy land but to walk on the 60% tough land.
SEPTEMBER 2020 Vishwa Vani Samarpan When can we walk without di iculty? When we look on to Christ! Read Ma hew 14:26-32: The Lord Jesus walked on the sea! Peter also came forward to walk on the sea. The Lord accepted it! But Peter did not look at the Lord's face, he looked at the waters; He was afraid! And he started to sink He cried, "Lord save me". Immediately the Lord's hand was stretched out to him. He walked with Jesus and he walked on the sea. Look at Isaiah 43:2 again. "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you". Every worries in this life is like crossing the waters. Those who pour out their tears like Hannah in the presence of the Lord, those who wipe the feet of Jesus with tears like Mary will never sink in the troubles of life. Because they called out to Jesus just like Peter. They called out to Him who said, "Call me in times of trouble"! They will run through the valleys of tears with praises! They will not stand still but will run! Flame: Water will drown; but fire will burn! Yes, all those who run towards the world, devil, lusts of the flesh, money and positions, will be drowned. Their lives are burning! But think of Shadrach, Meshack, Abednego! Fire was lit by man against the people who respected the Lord! Who changed that fire into breeze! Only the Lord of Shadrach, Meshack, Abednego! He himself came in their midst and He walked with them. You won't know how many fire brands you will encounter in your life? SEPTEMBER 2020 Vishwa Vani Samarpan Eyes of men are fire, their word are fire their envious plans and plots are fire But if Jesus is your goal, Every day morning, all 365 days if you get up early and be filled with the fire of the Holy Spirit, the fire of men can never harm you. Isaiah 43:2 When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze"! Everyday if you focus your eyes on Jesus Your faith will keep on increasing. All those who believe in Jesus will never experience the intensity of fire, the intensity of fiery men's doing, the fire brands of temptations sent by the devil will not harm you! For that all the 365 days you must get up early in the morning. At least for an hour you have to pray. Your prayer must begin with confession of sin, You must humble yourself in His presence every morning and You have to empty yourself. You must be filled with the Holy Scripture and the Holy Spirit. You must feel in your heart the fire of the Holy Spirit filling you. Your prayer must end with praise. Your day should also end with praise! Those who kneel down early in the morning, will not be afraid to face any challenge of the day. They will not be afraid of opposition. They will cross waters and quench the flames of fire. They soar high like eagles but will not grow weary. They will go from place to place, village to village, city to city or country to country but still they will not be tired. They will go to all the needy places. They will go knowing the will of God to let go astray even one soul. This will be the history of those who run all the 365 for Christ. Run to win! Run towards Christ! Run on your knees!

Ram Panna SEPTEMBER 2020 Vishwa Vani Samarpan A WHEAT GRAIN IN NAVAGAM FIELD - Bro. V. Vijayakumar (14.10.1975 – 25.07.2020)
It is heart-breaking that a young servant of God Bro. V Vijayakumar has joined the row of those who have been sown as wheat kernel in our mission fields of Andhra Pradesh. Our souls are comforted by the track they le behind as we carefully consider how the faithful missionaries are passing the world so quickly. Bro. V. Vijayakumar, who was 44 years old, was coordinating our field ministry in the surrounding villages of Palakonda of Srikakulam district in Andhra Pradesh. In the days of Bro. Prem Kumar, he was one of the pioneer missionaries, dedicated himself to Jesus Christ as a volunteering field worker and in 1998 received God's call to full-time ministry and got trained in Maripivalasa training center. ''Five Villages'' the web-strategy was his prime task and he always extended his ministry opportunity village a er villages. Along with reading the Holy Bible he also read many more spiritual books and taught his co-workers with the tongue of learned. He will take the lead boldly in proclaiming the gospel to anyone because of his faith and zeal for Jesus Christ. He encountered rough situations with love whenever interruptions arise in his ministry; He faced challenges with a calm mind. In his 22 years of service, more than 50 villages were transformed by the love of God. Worship Groups, Churches, Elders' Fellowship, and Community Development work are the solid reflection of his ministries which were carried out by his steadfast prayer. Rising from one, two, he e ectively carried out the task of overseeing 625 ministerial villages and he cared for the sta families and worship groups. Though Antalavara and Pinni ipe a were tough fields, his SEPTEMBER 2020 Vishwa Vani Samarpan hard labour brought fruits and it is still wonder in our eyes! In mid- July, Brother V. Vijayakumar, was diagnosed with last-stage pneumonia. The God of Heaven sent the eternal call to His servant on 25.07.2020; Vijayakumar travelled from this world to give thanks in eternity! The thousands of souls, hundreds of congregations and all believers' families are being comforted with the words “We will meet him in the presence of God in eternity''! May the Lord strengthen and continue to use Mrs. Shanthi Vijayakumar, the wife who glorified Jesus by singing evangelical songs with Vijayakumar. Let the teenage children Sunny Moses and Sandhya be guided by Heavenly Father who engraved them in His palm and wipe their tears away! Pray. - E. Samuel, State Coordinator
NOT IN MAGIC BUT IN THE WORD OF GOD, I FOUND THE TRUE GOD I was a magician from my teen and I am from Manoharpur in the state of Punjab. I was involved in all types of black magic and I destroyed the lives of many people by the works of the evil spirit till my 60 years. I have never thought about the life of people. I used to think about the money that I receive to do magic. Though my house was filled with everything that I desired, I didn't have peace! Though I travelled to many places, in search of peace, my heart haunted me of my sin. I wandered here and there and lost hope. The evil spirit in me, made me bedridden. I was paralysed! My neighbours a ended the worship every week at the nearby village Granthgarh. They felt pity on me. They took me to the worship conducted by worker Jaspal Singh. The evil spirits that bounded me was driven out in the name of Jesus. I received new life and I am alive by the gospel. I am sorry for the life that I lived with black magic. I am living for Jesus who has given me a second life. All that I tell to my family and those who come in search of me is that “Jesus is alive”! Hallelujah! – Joginder Singh
SEPTEMBER 2020 Vishwa Vani Samarpan Dearly beloved brothers and sisters, We greet you in the name of the eternal God and our Saviour who rules this world. The days are moving fast and these are the last days when Jesus Christ is going to come into this world. My heart was so distressed by the demise of our fulltime workers specially loving brother C.V. Prabhaharan who has fought a good fight and entered glory. Though our hearts are heavy, we are comforted in the Lord. He has worked for the Lord throughout Tamil Nadu and finally he worked specially in Chennai and entered the glory. Please pray that the Lord will continue to comfort their family. I want to share with you the ministries of Vishwa Vani in West India. When Rev. Ben Oliver was with us, he used to share the ministries of Gujarat. There are many people group in Gujarat namely Gamit, Chaudhari, Vasava, Kukhna, Ko uwalia, Warli, Mouchi Dodiya and Bhil etc., By the grace of God, Vishwa Vani ministry in South Gujarat was started in 1985. It was in 1986, radio programme in Gamit language was started, which was spoken by majority of the people in South Gujarat. The Gamit language programme was broadcast in the name 'Jeevana Ko ' which means Living Word. Rev. Dhansukhbhai, Rev. Rameshbhai and Rev. Kanthubhai voiced the messages in radio. Rev. Ahimas Jeyachandran was the Coordinator of the radio programmes. Our ministry was coordinated from 'Songadh' during 1986 in South Gujarat. When the radio programmes received great response, the night meetings were started by our Gamit fulltime workers Kanthubhai, Banabhai, Rameshbhai and Dhansukhbhai. Bible Study Groups and faith confession services continued. Churches were formed. Church buildings were raised at Khambla and Keloie fields where there were more Gamit believers. Rev. Mahesh stayed at Songadh and coordinated the ministries in 1991. During his time, the ministry among the Gamit people increased. Churches at Rupwada, Chikhli and Chapawadi were established. Rev. Mahesh was transferred to Vizianagaram district to start ministry in Andhra Pradesh in 1993. His ministry is greatly appreciable. In 1993, Rev. Paul Jeyasingh from Songadh and Rev. Ben Oliver from Vyara were working. Rev. Percy Desai was the state coordinator at our state SEPTEMBER 2020 Vishwa Vani Samarpan o ice in Ahmedabad. The vision of Vishwa Vani ministry is to bless the villages in India through the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. Yes, beloved, if you visit the villages where the Vishwa Vani workers have been working in South Gujarat in the name of Jesus, you could see the goodness and blessings that God has done for His children and praise Him. There is a great transformation! They were once addicted to alcohol. They had a wicked living, poverty and sickness. Today it is changed in the name of Jesus. They lead a holy life. They work hard and get a good income. Their lives are flourished. The reason is the glorious gospel of Lord Jesus Christ. A miraculous change in the life of every individual; there is a wonderful change in the society; their financial status is li ed – all these are the result of the gospel in Gujarat! Today, we have structured the ministry in the state of Gujarat into two major regions. The ministry of South Gujarat is coordinated from Songadh by Rev. Benjamin Bhai Gamit, the state coordinator. The ministry in South Gujarat grow day by day as there are only native workers toiling for the salvation of their people groups. Today there are 109 mission fields in 572 ministry villages in 5 districts of South Gujarat. 249 churches were planted and 85 church buildings were constructed. Praise the Lord. The Lord has enabled us to raise the State o ice of South Gujarat in Songadh near the high way. We also have a training centre at Navapada field and child care center. The Lord blessed with an English school till 11th standard. This school acts as a light house for the interior villages in Gujarat. We are witnessing great harvest with the help of the Holy Spirit in South Gujarat. At the same time, the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit is '2000 unreached villages'! 1400 more villages to be reached through 280 field workers. Hence please come forward to adopt a needy village by contributing Rs. 3000/- every month. South Gujarat is yielding fruits. May the Lord enable to yield much more fruits! May those who reach the feet of the cross increase! May Lord bless you! Hyderabad Yours in Christ 14.8.2020 P. Selvaraj SEPTEMBER 2020 Vishwa Vani Samarpan Fallen Kernel in Wagdi Ground
Young Ganesh Damor walked with Jesus. He worked for the Lord. He ran for the gospel of Jesus. But now this young man is resting in Jesus. Ganesh Damor was 26 and he was working among the Wagdi people group in Pratapgarh district of Dhariyawad taluk in Rajasthan. He joined Banswara training center in November 2019 and he completed the training perfectly and he opened the field at Manpur for the salvation of his own people. The Word of God was shared at Ganera, Ade, Mandavi and Charpotiya through him. The e orts he took to eradicate the evil caused by alcohol and darkness is very much and he witnessed greater results! He was returning home in a two-wheeler on August 3rd by 6 pm. He lost balance when he avoided hi ing the rashly driven opposite vehicle and thus fell down and injured. He was admi ed in the hospital. Though he was under treatment, the time came where he was called to rest at the feet of Jesus. Ganesh Damor went to be with the Lord during the early hours of 4.8.2020. The kernel Ganesh Damor that is sown in Wagdi field is going to yield greater result. Days are not far where the hamlets in Dhariyawad taluk are filled with the fragrance of the gospel and love of God. This is the faith of the Wagdi field workers. Only our Savior can comfort Ganesh's wife Mrs. Monica who is in the valley of tears and one-year-old Aliyana who searches for the face of his father. May the Lord comfort all those who are in great loss! – Silas Chauhan, State Coordinator. SEPTEMBER 2020 Vishwa Vani Samarpan IN THE APPOINTED RACE - Rev. Emmanuel Gnanaraj, Director - Prayernet
There is a start for eternal life. At night, an elderly person came to meet Jesus all alone. There were many questions in his heart! What were the questions? He had questions about him and his life. This elderly person lived a good life in the world. Though he followed a very disciplined life and a ained a very good status. He had questions at his old age! Life always has a beginning and an end. The period in between is called life. And there are no chances to continue a er the end? But the Bible I learnt tells that there is life a er death. As a Pharisee I believe that the dead will rise and will be judged for eternal death or eternal life. But how can we get that eternal life? I have made many sacrifices all these years. I have followed the Law. But still I do not have the faith of eternal life. To whom shall I ask all these questions, so he came to Jesus that night. Because he was clear that Jesus was the Preacher from God. The miracles of Jesus are the witness (John 14:11). What did Jesus say to the elderly man? (John 3) Nicodemus, life should have a start. You have lived so many years and have reached the end of your life. But you are not born again. You must be born again (John 3:3). Your spiritual life must start. Jesus answered the question of being born again is to believe in Him who is going to be the sacrifice of the whole world. A person who believes that Jesus died on the cross for his sin and is raised again to make me righteous is being born again. Then he is starting his eternal life. Dear beloved, are you born of water and the sprit? The day you touch Jesus is the day of beginning. There is a plan for eternal life Paul with the vigour in flesh did not know the plan of God in his life. SEPTEMBER 2020 Vishwa Vani Samarpan He thought that he is doing something great for God and went to torment the church a er receiving the permission. On the way to Damascus, this young Pharisee Saul was changed to Paul. He failed to believe that Jesus was Christ from God. He worked against Jesus and He came down to meet him. We read in Acts 9:4 that He came down to touch His life that was the beginning for Saul. He questioned Saul: “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” when you do not know the plan of God in your life then every day you torture Christ who died for you! Jesus introduced Himself as the One who is troubled by Saul. The first question that he asks Jesus is the question that every person who has confessed his sin must ask. What question is that? Lord, what do you want me to do? The One who has created You is very clear for why you are created. He has a very clear plan. That plan is the target for our life. Are you living without knowing the reason why you were caught by the Lord or why you were born again? Consider what Paul says who was chosen by God: “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, … Run in such a way as to get the prize” (1 Co 9:24). He says in Phil 3:12,14 that “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus”. Today, why do we live? For whom do we live? Do we live for the present or eternity? There is a plan for the God who has created you? There is a plan for the God who created you. Will you plan to fulfil and choose it? That is your life's goal. We need steadiness for eternal life: For all the believers who are born again, the lord has a plan. Every day we should not live for flesh but for the spirit. The author of Hebrews says that we must throw o everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance
SEPTEMBER 2020 Vishwa Vani Samarpan the race marked out for us in Hebrews 12:1. Nicodemus who came in search of Jesus was born again. Jesus who came in search of Saul clang to the goal of life. Now let us run with patience towards the One who starts and finishes the faith. What hinders us for that? No one can take that price from you. But you have the chance of being fallen without running properly. There are many in the Bible who reached the goal. Paul says in 2 Timothy 4:7,8 “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day – and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing” The list of those who lost eternity because of the present world: Lot's wife turned back and became the pillar of salt. It was because, they did not run to the mountain that God asked to run but chose a di erent lifestyle (Gen. 19:20,26). King Saul lost the chance that was given to him. Demas who was good worker but later turned back because of the desires of the world (2 Timothy 4:10). Satan who is a deceiver takes steps, so that we do not reach the goal. Jesus said in Mark 13:15 “Watch out that no one deceives you”. James 1:22 asks us not to deceive ourselves. We must move beyond the elementary teachings and be taken forward to maturity (Heb. 6:12). For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. (2 Tim. 4:3). Hence we must leave of the desires of the world and must not give room for sin. We must run with patience to fulfil the plan of God. Let us understand the importance of time and redeem it. If you need to know the value of time, ask those who have lost. Hence let us run so that we will receive. The crown of righteousness and eternal life are waiting for us. Let us fix our eyes over that prize (Heb. 12:2) and run like Jesus in the path that is kept for us with patience. Jesus help me not to stumble again! Jesus give me grace so that I will not lose!

SEPTEMBER 2020 Vishwa Vani Samarpan Petite feelings
It was called as the land of figs! If we walk faster, we can reach Jerusalem in 18 miles! A great number of priests who work at the temple of God live in this city! It was a holy city where there is fragrance of piousness seen everywhere! A pair of foot came towards Jerusalem to do the will of God a er completing the ministry for 3 ½ years by walking 30 miles on an average daily! There was a great crowd at the front and back! Many desired to see Him! He did many miracles. He did many signs that cannot be forgo en. His answers for their dangerous questions were extraordinary. Many parables, simple truths, life to many people, tears of people were wiped away, words of life gushed out of His mouth like flood. These have changed the life of many. It was Jesus who has created a history and is walking through the land with fig trees! There a man desired to see Jesus. His heart burned to see how Jesus would be! If a man gets the desire to know who Jesus is then it is very easy to start the gospel work! “Curiosity and simplicity are a sort of preparation for faith” said John Calvin! Even today we preach the gospel at many places. But miracles and revival take place where people are interested! There are no chances to reach the other shore until the mankind do not show interest for the gospel! Zacchaeus means righteous. He was in a great position in the government. He carried an authority like a customs o icer. If he would have thought to hold his status in the society, when he
SEPTEMBER 2020 Vishwa Vani Samarpan had the desire to see Jesus, he would have thrown it o , and saved his status. But as a small lad, he ran quickly to the fig tree and climbed on it as a child. At that very instant, the first door to enter heaven was opened! He had the desire to see the Lord! The Lord looked unto him! Even today God sees all those who desire to see Him! He continuously is looking at him with wonder! He is looking with joy! The fame and shame of Zacchaeus is flying high and the entire city is mocking at him. But Jesus calls him down and calls him to his own house! He collected tax in unjust manner and filled his house with it! He was hated by his own Jewish people! He earned wealth but lost joy in his heart. He became a stranger to his own house! Even today there are many such people. "His breath screams for riches but life is filled with drought and scarcity! I remember the lines of Emil Jebasingh Annan song – “For whom do you live…”! But at the time when he met Jesus, he had the responsibility to come down and meet Him! God is hastening, come down soon! We ourselves are growing many fig trees and are si ing on top of it! Selfishness, pride, covetousness, lust, grip on vanity, desire to cling over the things of the world, wrong relationships, stealing, adultery, addiction to drugs, inclining to this world, ignorance in the spiritual life, stagnant in the gospel work and addiction to mobile are all fig trees! During this lockdown period, God is looking at us and is asking us to come down! There are two blessings when we come down quickly! One is to give away all that we have earned till today! Second is to get Jesus that anyone cannot earn through his own e orts! During this lockdown period God is giving us these two opportunities: Loose what you have. Gain what you have lost. Today salvation has come to this house will be received on the basis of what we have chosen. Yes, let everyone of us receive such blessing. Amen! – Haris Premkumar, Vishwa Vani Media. SEPTEMBER 2020 Vishwa Vani Samarpan Able to Stand and Walk by God's Grace My wife is deaf and dumb. So I passed my days by helping her with great sadness. We reside at Pursi village in Gujarat. We were saddened day a er day physically and mentally. At this juncture, I was paralyzed and bedridden! We prayed all our gods expecting deliverance but nothing happened. My neighbor Pravin Bhai Kadmi used to a end the service conducted by worker Renison Rathod. He said that the blood of Jesus can only take away the sin, curse and sickness. We realized that we have got yet another life in Jesus. We pleaded for the grace of Jesus. I was bedridden for many months. Today I stand and walk. We are growing daily in the knowledge of Jesus. The One who has touched me will one day surely touch my wife's ears and tongue. He will also touch the people at Pursi village through us. We have this great hope. Glory be to God. – New believer Kalinga Bhai Damor. Donate Online
