Testimonies
"Empowered by faith, transformed by grace. Discover how lives are changed through the love of Christ."
Sis. Susan
Sister Susan had requested the WOW Prayer Group to uphold in prayer the training camp she was attending in Nagpur. The weather conditions were quite unfavorable, and there was much concern about how the camp would proceed. However, she joyfully testifies that, by God’s grace, everything went smoothly, and the camp was a great success despite all the hurdles.
Sister thanks the WOW Prayer Group for their faithful prayers and gives all glory and praise to God for His goodness and faithfulness.
Bro. Theodore Immanuel
In August 2023, Br. Theodore faced serious challenges and allegations at his workplace in the U.S. Consulate, putting his job at risk. It was a time of deep distress, but through fervent prayer and Pastor Prabhu’s wise counsel, he was sustained in his role until August 2024. Throughout this season, he sought God’s guidance and held on to the Word spoken through Pastor Prabhu, especially as 2024 was declared the “Year of Open Doors,” trusting in God’s promise of new assurance.
In His perfect timing, God opened not one but two major doors: one with a U.S.-based IT company in Hyderabad as Chief Strategy Officer, overseeing international business with double the salary; and another with the Australian Consulate in Chennai, offering a higher-profile role and better pay, overseeing business engagement for South Asia.
After much prayer, he chose the role with the Australian Consulate, even though it meant relocating to Chennai and being away from his family in Hyderabad. The strain of managing two households, constant travel, and the emotional toll of separation began to weigh on him, leading him to question whether he had truly waited on God’s perfect will. Around August/September 2024, our church launched the Prayer Tower initiative. He saw it as a chance to submit his prayer request through brothers Sunil, Alex, and Douglas—each of whom consistently followed up with prayer, care, and encouragement.
In December 2024, Pastor Prabhu declared the promise for 2025: “The Year of Soaring – A Promise to Experience.” Holding firmly to this word, and after much prayer, he officially submitted his transfer request to Hyderabad in February 2025.
Our God, who hears and answers prayers, moved powerfully. In April 2025, his transfer was approved and without question—a rare exception in the Embassy/Consulate system, where transfers are uncommon and rarely granted. Bro. Theodore is now back in Hyderabad, officially working from the local Trade Office. Truly, this is nothing short of a miracle. Proverbs 3:5–6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
This journey has taught him the profound value of obedience—not just hearing, but faithfully following the Word preached Sunday after Sunday by Pastor Prabhu, Pastor Rekha, Bro. Wilson, and Bro. Bobby. He can now testify that these messages are life-giving, soul-nourishing, and truly a lamp to our feet.
He gives thanks to God for His unfailing love and favor and deeply appreciates the prayers, support, and encouragement of our pastors, the Prayer Tower team, and his fellow believers.
Sis. Aruna
Sis. Aruna was unwell but had to go for 10th class paper corrections, which usually require staying from morning till evening. She requested prayer from the WOW team. She testifies that, by God’s grace, she was able to finish the corrections in just a few hours and was even allowed to leave early.
She thanks and praises God for His goodness and also appreciates the WOW team for their prayers.
Sis. Shashi Michael
Sis. Shashi’s husband’s family comes from a Catholic background, and despite her many attempts to share about Jesus, they would often ignore her and not let her continue. But last week, God opened a door and even brought scriptures to her remembrance, allowing her to speak to them about Jesus. She encouraged them to read the Bible and pray daily and this time, they listened and agreed to follow her encouragement.
She thanks and praises God for this divine opportunity.
Sis. Angel Meagher
Last Monday night, there were very heavy winds and unknown to them a very large power line had fallen across the side part of their property. The way that it fell, it landed on a barbed wire fence that runs through that side where the dogs stay and that they all regularly grab hold of & walk under. Because of the current running through it, the whole fence was highly charged as well as the ground where it lay. Because it happened late Monday night they were unaware of it. Tuesday evening one of the staff noticed it as she went watering trees. Thankfully she saw it before going under that fence and alerted everyone else that caused them to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. Another miracle was that none of the dogs touched any of it and the power company came within 15 minutes to shut it down & remove the wire. They are very thankful for the numerous ways God is ALWAYS watching over them, truly HE NEVER SLUMBERS NOR SLEEPS!
Bro. Rajender Byri
On 23rd March, during the worship, Br. Rajender experienced severe pain in his right ear and felt swelling on his face. That didn’t stop him from worshipping Our Almighty God. While the worship was going on, he put his hand on his face and started praying. By the time the service got over, he was healed. All Glory to God for this healing.
Bro. Rajasekhar David & Sis. Vani of their daughter Sis. Sreya
Sis. Sreya finished her MBA in marketing in April last year. The campus placements in core marketing were not in line with her vision for her career and Sreya did not want to compromise or deviate from her major in academics which is marketing and media. Also, she did not want to relocate to another city at this point in time when she was just starting her career.
As a family they have tasted the goodness of God again and again and in the same faith, she kept looking out for opportunities that met her expectations rather than adjusting to what was available. The journey was long and not without disappointments at times but the encouragement from our Pastors and the support of various prayer groups of our church were a constant reinforcement of faith to continue to trust and wait on the Lord.
Praise be to God, In February, exactly on her birthday, she received not one but two openings in her chosen field out of which she chose Google.
The entire selection process was over four months long and was very stressful, yet by God’s grace she stayed calm and composed throughout. This was a countrywide recruitment process, and it was made clear to her even before the first interview that she should be willing to relocate to any of the four cities upon selection. However, when she received her offer email, to her delight she was assigned to a team in Hyderabad. She will be working in hybrid mode with regular hours, with no night shifts, and the company is providing free transportation for the days she has to work in the office. In every way this is a job that meets all her preferences and more, which is only possible by the grace of Almighty God who is aware of our every need and willing to bless our hearts desires.
The family would like to thank our Pastors for their teaching and guidance and the CSR prayer group and the Wow group for their prayers and support.
Sis. Ganga Bhavani
Lately, Sister Ganga Bhavani had been under immense pressure at work, burdened with responsibilities that felt devastating. A customer had maliciously conspired to deceive her branch, and the situation took a significant toll on her. As the pressure mounted, the customer set a deadline for resolution by Wednesday, leaving her feeling completely hopeless, she had no answers and no way forward. During her distress, God reminded her Isaiah 41:10: “Fear not, for I am with you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
Holding onto this promise, she reached out to Bro Sunil, asking for prayer. He prayed for her deliverance on Tuesday, just one day before the deadline. In that moment, she placed her complete trust in God, believing that only He could intervene.
Miraculously, on the very same day, God answered her prayer in an unimaginable way. Just as she was about to give up and head home without a solution, one of her sub-staff discovered a long-missing file. This file contained crucial transaction details that exposed the customer’s bad intentions. Instantly, the entire situation shifted, what seemed impossible just moments before was now completely resolved.
God had worked in a mysterious and powerful way, making a way where there was none. She was delivered from the burden of stress and worry, and through this, she testifies to the perfection of God’s timing and provision.
She gives all glory to God alone for His miraculous deliverance!
Bro. Melvin
In August 2021, Melvin struggled to find college admission due to delays and preferences. However, through his father’s friend, God led him to the right college. On August 17, 2021, Melvin and his father visited the college, filled out a form, and waited outside the principal’s office for an admission slot. Hearing the Principal’s questions to other candidates made Melvin anxious.
When their turn came, they entered the principal’s cabin. To their surprise, the principal did not ask him any questions, unlike the other candidates. Instead, he simply asked Melvin to write down his preferred course of study along with an alternative option. He was told that they would receive an update by the end of the day regarding his admission.
Praise be to God! That very evening, Melvin received a call confirming his admission into the B. Com Business Analytics program at Loyola Academy Degree and PG College. The college administration asked him to visit the next day to complete the formalities. Even more miraculously, God graciously provided the full sum of the first-year fees on the same day!
Melvin joined the college and, by God’s grace, excelled in his studies—overcoming past academic struggles. A remarkable transformation occurred—Melvin’s weakest subject, Mathematics, became his strength. He mastered advanced concepts and scored near-perfect marks in all exams!
Despite challenges, God guided Melvin to excel. In August 2024, he graduated with a B. Com in Business Analytics, achieving an outstanding 9.14 CGPA—beyond what he ever imagined! He firmly believes that this victory was made possible solely by God’s grace and uncommon favor.
2nd Testimony from Br. Melvin:
God’s Goodness in his Professional Life:
During college, Melvin was unsure about campus placements, as he planned to study abroad. Instead, he applied off-campus but later realized work experience would help secure a better job after further studies. Despite multiple applications, most opportunities were unrelated to his field.
In January, a company reached out regarding a job. After much thought, he accepted, initiating the application process. By God’s grace and the Holy Spirit’s guidance, he cleared all interviews, despite the complexity. The Background Verification Check took over a month, extending to 45 days. On March 20th, while praying for confirmation,
he received a call just hours later, informing him that the process was complete, and his joining date was set for March 24th.
It was solely by God’s grace that he secured an Analyst role at a top global company.
Sometimes, the wait feels long, but God’s plans are always greater! If He did it for Melvin, He can do it for you—trust in Him!
Melvin thanks our dear Pastors, Worship Team, brothers, sisters in Christ, loved ones, and family for their prayers and support. All glory to God alone!
Subin Das Pasula
Subin is delighted to share that he secured 1st place in the Storytelling Competition at St. Patrick’s High School, Secunderabad, for the academic year 2024-2025!
A 2nd-class student, he thanks God for granting him wisdom and helping him give his best. As the Bible says in James 1:5, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all.” He is deeply grateful to our dear Pastors, ARK Teachers, and his parents for their love and support.
Above all, Subin joyfully thanks Jesus for this wonderful blessing!
Sis. Sumitha Martin
Since August 2024, Sister Sumitha had been praying about a difficult situation at her workplace and asked the CSR prayer tower and the WOW team to pray. The Grade 4 teachers struggled under a dominating superior who had direct access to the VP and other higher-ups in the management.
When given the choice to select her grade for the new academic year, Sister Sumitha prayed and chose Grade 4 despite warnings.
Amazingly, within weeks, the superior willingly accepted a transfer after 17 years in the same role, bringing peace to both her and the teachers.
Sr. Sumitha thanks God for this amazing breakthrough which brought peace and happiness to the teachers as well as the superior.
Sis. Neha
Sis. Neha graduated with a BTech during a recession when job opportunities were scarce. Trusting in God’s will, she prayed and gave her best in campus recruitment. God answered her prayers, blessing her with a job at her dream MNC, Accenture. However, when Sister Neha received her joining details, she was disappointed to be assigned to Nagpur, far from home. Though disappointed, the Church’s Youth Group prayed for her, giving her strength.
During training, she faced uncertainty as others received project calls while she didn’t. After months of waiting, she was finally selected for
AT&T, one of Accenture’s top clients, reminding her that God’s timing is always perfect.
She also expected to stay in Nagpur like her peers, but praise be to God, she was allowed to work from her home city while none of her friends could return home. Truly, God’s ways are beyond understanding! In January, just before her final coding exam, Neha was hospitalized with pneumonia. Weak but prayerful, she gave her best and not only passed but was featured on the company’s Wall of Fame for her high score. God also provided financially. Though initially ineligible for insurance claims, God miraculously made way for a 90% reimbursement, easing her burden.
In February, still recovering, she needed an exemption from weekly office visits. After weeks of uncertainty, her request was granted, allowing her to work remotely for three months. She now prays for a permanent transfer and trusts God’s plan.
Through every trial, Neha’s faith, nurtured by our Church, has kept her strong. She is grateful to her friends and Church family for their constant prayers and support. All glory to God!
Sis. Sathyavathi
Sis. Sathyavathi would like to take this opportunity to share a powerful testimony of God’s incredible protection over His children. She would like to quote Psalm 91:10 that says, “No harm will overtake you; no disaster will come near your tent.”
Last Sunday, her younger sister and she experienced this divine protection in a very real way. As they made their way to Church, they were waiting at a crossroads opposite Keyes High School. A large travel bus approached from their right, and the driver signaled for them to cross. However, sister felt a strong prompting to pause and double-check before stepping forward. In that very moment, an RTC bus sped past right in front of them. It was a close call, and she realized that if they had crossed when the travel bus driver indicated, they might not be here today to share this testimony. They know without a doubt that it was the Holy Spirit prompting her to wait, ultimately saving their lives.
As Scripture reassures us, “The Lord will keep you from all harm; He will watch over your life. The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” Sis Satyavathi is grateful for God’s mighty hedge of protection surrounding them every moment of each day. All glory to God.
