God's grace amidst my agonies- Sherin G.

 God's grace amidst my agonies

 

I’m 27 years old working as a teacher.  I’m originally from Chennai but settled in Kolhapur.  In 2016, I lost my sister who was just married for two years to renal failure.  Within a year I lost my dear Dad who was upset after the demise of my sister.  He was a railway officer at Kolhapur.  Now it’s only my mother and myself. 

Immediately after my Dad’s death, I was detected with jaundice and Australian antigen virus.  There was no hope for me.  But God is so good, Jesus brought me out of this situation.  After a year, in May of 2019, I suffered from a slipped disc which was agonizingly painful.  Even after visiting 18-20 doctors and spending lots of money on treatments, nothing seemed to work.  I went into severe depression and lost hope of healing. 

It was through God’s goodness and mercy that I underwent an endoscopic discectomy surgery this year in June.  I thank God for the needed rest during this pandemic. 

We are so blessed every Sunday by the Word brought to us through KCF, Newtown online services.  We are encouraged and we worship along with you all.  We are so blessed by the songs and every part of the service. It is only by God’s grace that we are safe and sound over here. May we grow more in the Lord.

He makes all things beautiful in His time- Mary M

 He makes all things beautiful in His time     As I listened to the sermon on Hannah about barrenness and hopelessness, it brought to memory my own personal journey.   We’ve gone through so many difficulties in our life and sometimes I even wondered if God really exists.   Everything seemed to be going wrong. About 4-5 years ago in December of 2015, my husband, Rahul, was given a letter of suspension without any intimations.   Our whole life took a turn which none of us were prepared for.   Our children were small and still in Montessori and were hoping to move into a regular school.   My in laws were staying with us and Rahul was the only earning member in the house. Things went from bad to worse and it seemed like life had drawn a curtain on us. We wondered what to do, why did this happen to us? What did we do to deserve this?   In my brokenness and shattered dreams, I turned towards the Lord not sure of our future.   We decided to...

We trust in the name of the Lord! - Mhalo

We trust in the name of the Lord!  2020 has been a year of grief, struggles, pain, loss and uncertainty for everyone around the world.   Yet, as I look back and reflect upon the months gone by, all I see is God’s amazing grace, faithfulness and provision blurring everything else.   There are many things to share, but I would like to share two. The first thing is that when our nation went into lockdown, there were so many inconveniences.   But that’s when our family became the most connected through prayers and Bible studies every morning until the online classes became too many.   For over two months we came together every morning through zoom and studied the Bible and spent time in prayer.   That was an amazing outcome of the lockdown for us as a family.   We became closer to God and to each other. The second thing is that as the classes went online fully, it became so difficult to make things work smoothly for my three sons with just one mobile...

An opportunity to witness for Christ! - Ravi

 An opportunity to witness for Christ! Hello!   I am so thrilled to share an experience I had.   After almost 9 months I was able to share about Jesus face to face with someone!   It happened in my Gym where I invited my trainer to visit our church on December 25 th .   He was happy to accept my invitation and said how much he loved the environment surrounding Christmas with cakes, candles and music.   I had the opportunity to ask him if he knew why we cut the cake at Christmas.   He said he did not know and I was able to share about Christ to him.   Please pray that he would understand more clearly the love of God which is available for him.        Ravi
