Testimonies
- Sol.Sathya: I am from S.P.Kovil. I was hindered by an unclean spirit. From the third day onwards, I was able to accept the explanations given. That very day, I became a new person. I received deliverance during the session. The Spirit brought all my sins to my mind. I asked for forgiveness for them. I came to know about the organisation. I will ask for forgiveness from my parents. I will preach the gospel to my friends. Thanks to the Lord for bringing such a big change in my life.
- Sol.Abhishek Samuel: I am from Ambattur. Before coming here, I was not in God. I did not study the Bible, was unruly, and lived a superficial Christian life. I was irritated on the first day I came. I was thinking of leaving. From the third day, I worshipped God freely. My mind became clear, and I became clean. I am eager to go to my mother and ask for forgiveness. I have a desire to live for God. I will start a troop church. I will preach the gospel to my fellow students in college. I will walk humbly. I believe that God will help me to live with purity till the end. Amen.
- I came to this training with confusion. I was tired, and on the third day, I got relief from leg pain, shortness of breath, and hearing loss. I prayed to God to stop the children from fighting at home. I believe that God will help me not to be bitter towards others.
- Sol.Kumar: Six months ago in our village, saw a Catholic Nun standing tall in a nun's robe. It was God's will that I should come and receive training from these sisters dressed in such robes. Out here, the Lord anointed me. It gives me great joy that my wife also came to this training and held mike by the hand for the first time.
- Sol.Sasi: I am from Vaniyampadi. Sol. Sudha underwent a great change after participating in this training. So, I prayed and wished that I, too, would somehow participate in this training. But a big obstacle awaited. The day my elder brother died and the rituals for it were performed. It was the day I was leaving for this training. I told him that if I could give him a convenient time and conduct the ceremony at this time, he would also be able to participate in the ceremony. The Lord graciously agreed. Also, my haemoglobin level was 7.7. That is why my husband forbade me from coming here. However, by the grace of the Lord, God helped me to participate in this training. God brought me here with a plan. Except for us, everyone in my family does not know Jesus. They should also know Jesus. I believe that God will fulfil my wish that my husband and children should participate in this training. Amen.
- Sol.Rajan: I listened to the testimonies of the young people and thanked the Lord. We greet and thank all of you who prayed in the name of Jesus Christ. May you receive abundant fruit in this world and the hereafter. Some of them saw some visions and testified that the Lord was speaking to them. They have repented and asked their parents for forgiveness because the word of the Lord touched their hearts. They have confessed their sins and become reconciled with God. The Lord has given the gift of prophecy to some and the gift of healing to some. They were given direct training at the Raya Petta Government Hospital to test the gift of healing. We will know who has what gifts in the upcoming days. Some have decided to preach the gospel to their friends who are studying in college. Some have decided to start a troop church in their homes. They have made many decisions. Always pray for them to remain steadfast in faith in the trials they face.

Testimonies
- I am Gomathi sister’s daughter. God has always been with me. How a father leads his child, in the same way he led me. Whenever I am down, he takes me up. He gave me many spiritual friends. I don’t have words to express my gratitude to him. I always thought we had such a big house, but why is his worship sound not heard? The sound of fighting and quarrelling was heard in our house, but on this day of fellowship, we could hear the sound of worship and praise. This was a long-time wish for me, which was fulfilled. Watching a worship service on TV is not as worthwhile as joining and worshipping in a place. This was a major realisation I got. Through this fellowship, the worship sound is echoed, and the peace of the Lord has entered our house. Praise the Lord!
- Sol.Anitta: I have been coming to Gomathi sister's house for 8 years. I have seen her praying in the corner of a room with fear. I used to tell her Do not cry before anyone, but go into the presence of God and cry to him. Do not give a room to satan by worries. One day, Prasanna told that prayer meet was going to be conducted in Gomathi's sister’s house. I couldn’t believe it. I have seen her struggles couldn’t even tell how deep it is. I had another meeting, but I attended this fellowship meeting. Praise be to the Lord!
- Sol.Annalthanakodi: I thought simply sitting in the house didn’t work. I need to grow in my spirit. When Gomathi called me to say that a prayer was being conducted in her house. I am the person who usually takes care of my grandchildren. My son used to leave them to me. I decided to attend the prayer meet. My son himself dropped me off with the grandchildren. it is a great blessing for me. Praise God!
- Sol.Rakesh: I always used to give gifts to people on their birthdays. One day before my birthday, I prayed to God that someone would give me a gift, and I went to sleep. The next morning, my sister gifted me a wall hanging, and my mom gave me a gift. Even Jancy aunty gave me a gift. I thank God. One day, Prasanna brother was sitting in a chair it suddenly collapsed. During the night, I called my father and started speaking to him, saying that the chair was broken and all the other things. I heard a voice telling me how happy you are when you eat biryani, and I am that happy when you play the keyboard. I didn’t like to play the keyboard, but after hearing this voice, I woke up at 3:00 am and started playing the keyboard, praying and worshipping God. Everybody was sleeping.
- Sol.Gomathi: As God said, “I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction”. He has led me through all my ups and downs. A woman without her husband is always a “talk” to many people. But God was always there for me and led me.

Testimonies:
- Sol.Daniel: This training was really useful for me. Many of the examples that were shared touched my heart. The lesson on “Forgiveness is not an option” and the generational healing also touched me. I want the team to come back and conduct these lessons again, for everyone to hear, and for the entire church to know this. I am praying for that. I will do all I can to help.
- Sol.Kaniamary: These two-day classes were very useful for me. Many questions that I did not understand were answered here. I felt a desire to do the ministry. I want to take this training to many places.
- Sol.Thennarasu: I learned spiritual things during these two days. The lesson on forgiveness is not an option touched my heart. I pray that this ministry will grow and that this training will be taken to many places.
- Sol.Jayachitra: I have come to understand deeply that if we do not forgive, we are in prison. I have come to understand deeply about curses and sin.
- Sol.Abraham Rajasekaran: The two-day training was very beneficial for me. We are conducting it as a prayer house in the upper room of our house. We wholeheartedly want to conduct this training and take it to many places.
- Sol.Mallika: This training was very beneficial for me. When Mother Leema Rose came to conduct the topic of "Forgiveness is not an option ", I realised that I had been bitter for six months without speaking to my sister. Now that I have apologised, that bitterness has changed. The Lord has given me visions. All glory to God.

PROPHECY NEWS
TSUNAMI WAVES HIT HAWAII AFTER 8.8 EARTHQUAKE. WE EXPLAIN THE NATURAL DISASTERS
An 8.8 earthquake in Russia's Far East early Wednesday that forced evacuations for nearly 2 million people in Japan and triggered tsunami waves there, in Hawaii and across the Pacific.
The tsunami warning was downgraded to an advisory overnight after the wave impacted Hawaii, and so far, officials say no damage or injuries have been reported.
While South Florida is safe from earthquake and tsunami threats, many are wondering about how the phenomena work.
Where did the earthquake happen?
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was centered about 119 kilometers (74 miles) east-southeast from the Russian city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, which has a population of 180,000, on the Kamchatka Peninsula. It occurred at a depth of 20.7 kilometers (13 miles).
How strong is an 8.8 earthquake?
States like California may be no strangers to earthquake impacts, but this is one of the strongest quakes ever recorded.
So a 4.0 earthquake is 32 times more powerful than a 3.0 earthquake. But an 8.0 earthquake is 33.6 million times more powerful than a 3.0 earthquake.
Why do earthquakes trigger tsunamis?
The power of the quake is why tsunami alerts can expand so far away from the epicenter.
When tectonic plates move well below the ocean, that motion creates a ripple effect.
Think about when you put a blanket on your bed and make a wave of sorts with the sheet. Your hands would be the epicenter of the earthquake, which creates that ripple effect.
So you can get some smaller, shallower waves out ahead of that main tsunami, but the principal waves that become increasingly more dangerous pull all the ocean water away from the coast into a main ripple. That's the one that moves on shore and inundates coastal areas.
And that's where it can be very dangerous, because that can move in upwards of miles in some spots. Think about Japan, where you get those bigger ones.
Impacts of this earthquake and subsequent tsunamis
A tsunami height of 3-4 meters (10 to 13 feet) was recorded in Kamchatka, 60 centimeters (2 feet) on Japan's northern island of Hokkaido, and up to 1.4 feet (under 30 centimeters) above tide levels were observed in Alaska's Aleutian Islands.
Waves of nearly 6 feet were recorded in Maui, according to NOAA data, along with about 1- to 2-foot water inundation in parts of Hawaii that are still under those advisories.
But some of the waves away from the coast could reach anywhere between 4 feet or even 7 feet possible, not just on the islands, but even along the western coast.
Much of the West Coast, spanning California, Washington state, and the Canadian province of British Columbia, was also under a tsunami advisory.
While the NWS did not provide exact wave heights for Washington, forecasters have indicated that waves along much of the West Coast are expected to remain under one foot.
The impact of the tsunami could last for hours or perhaps more than a day, said Dave Snider, tsunami warning coordinator with the National Tsunami Warning Center in Alaska
“A tsunami is not just one wave,” he said. “It’s a series of powerful waves over a long period of time. Tsunamis cross the ocean at hundreds of miles an hour -- as fast as a jet airplane -- in deep water. But when they get close to the shore, they slow down and start to pile up. And that’s where that inundation problem becomes a little bit more possible there."
