B 12, lay bedridden, unable to open her eyes. Her motionless body looked dead. But her father, Prakash, couldn’t – wouldn’t-help her. When he should have been there for his daughter the most, Prakash kept leaving home to gamble and buy alcohol.

ADDICTED FATHER REFUSES PRAYER, ADVICE

Before she got sick, B got sick with a cough, fever and abdominal pain, her mother went to Pastor Timothy to come and pray for her daughter. He and his wife went to B house. But P wouldn’t allow them to pray. He told them he believed only in his forefather’s spirits. Pastor Timothy and his wife left the house. Asking P to at least take B to a hospital for medical treatment.

After they left P turned to his wife and unleashed a fury of blows on her, angry she had asked Pastor Timothy to pray. Instead of taking B to the hospital, he gambled again. A month passed, and B health declined to the point at which she couldn’t move or open her eyes. She lay in bed like a dead person.

HEALING BREAKS FATHER’S, HARD HEART

Desperate for her daughter to live, P wife returned to Pastor Timothy house while her husband was away and asked Pastor Timothy to come and pray. Pastor Timothy immediately went with his wife to her house, prayed for Bhavani, and encouraged P wife. Saying Jesus could heal her daughter.

The next day Pastor Timothy and his wife returned to pray, but they found P at home. Surprisingly, instead of kicking them out, he let them pray for B. Although he had previously refused their prayers and ignored their advice, he has seen how B health improved following their visit. Then after a few months more days, B could open her eyes and no longer had a fever! Pastor Timothy and his wife came to pray four more times, and gradually, the girl completely recovered.

Witnessing this miracle, P realized there was something special about the God who healed his daughter. This Jesus was real. Changed by this knowledge, P stopped gambling and drinking. He started to act as a caring husband and father.

FAMILIES TRANSFORMED

Soon, B healed, P filled with tears in his eyes, asked Pastor Timothy, “WILL YOUR GOD ACCEPT ME?”

We have been waiting for this one word for so long, and when it comes from his mouth, we shared the Good News that Jesus died for all peoples, and they prayed with P and B. Since that day, P and his wife have been praying to Jesus, the God who healed their daughter. B is back to normal life and where she continues to thrive along with others and experiences Christ’s love through carrying Deepam and Grace Project Pastors.
