Sister Jagathesvari, age 34, Chennai Manmin Church, India

I was born and raised in Sri Lanka. I was separated from my brother Antony. In 1994, he left Sri Lanka on a refugee's boat and we didn't even know if he was alive or not. Sixteen years later, I heard that he lives in Chennai in Southern India. He was Hindu but accepted the Lord in India and became a Christian. He is married and attends Chennai Manmin Church with his family.

He said that he had earnestly asked God in prayer to let him know any news about his family in Sri Lanka. In July, 2011, I finally went to Chennai and met him. In September of that year, I followed him to Chennai Manmin Church, and met an Indian man in October and got married.

The cultural difference, discord with my mother-in-law, and quarrels with my husband gave me a hard time. When I was pregnant, my first baby's heart stopped twice. After repenting I had not lived by the Word of God and of hating others, I was able to overcome the critical moments by receiving the handkerchief prayer from Pastor Joseph Han ministering to Chennai Manmin Church (Acts 19:11-12). In July 2012, I gave birth to my son by the grace of God.

In 2013, during my second pregnancy, the doctor told me that I had a problem with amniotic fluid. I was told that both my baby and I were in danger. But I received Pastor Han's handkerchief prayer and again delivered a healthy son.

When I lived in Sri Lanka during my childhood, there was a war. A bullet fragment came into my body. This caused me to frequently have cold sweats, high fever, and tremors all over my body. I had otitis media for 30 years so a sore oozed from both of my ears.

In November 2015, I received the prayer of the handkerchief from Rev. Heesun Lee, Manmin World Guidance Pastor who visited Chennai Manmin Church for its 11th anniversary. I experienced an amazing work! The sore in my ears stopped oozing, and the symptoms caused by the bullet fragment were all gone! Hallelujah!

I was so thankful to God that I started to serve the church volunteering as a teacher for Children's Sunday School and in the church cafeteria. My husband and children go to church together now.

I give all thanks and glory to God who let me accept the Lord, experience powerful works, and receive true peace and blessings.
