Life before coming to faith
Thummalagunta
Durga Devi Comes from a broken family. Her husband is Lorry Driver. Most of the
days, he is away from the family. On another hand he is a heavy drunkard.
Whatever money he earns he spends ion drinking and never gives enough money to
his wife T Durga to meet the family expenses. Somehow she was meeting the needs
of the family.
Her husband once
came to the faith as he was healed from the sickness. Once her husband severely
fall ill. They went to different doctors and visited different hospitals for
the treatment but there was no healing coming to his way. His both the Kidneys
were weak because of the heavy drinking.
Conversion Experience
In their
difficult situation his wife found shelter in Church. She shared the situation
of her husband and family situation to pastor Spurgeon. He started visiting
their family and began to share the word of God to them. Meanwhile her husband
was hospitalized and admitted into ICU. Ps Spurgeon regularly visited him in
the hospital and kept praying for him. Back in the church also all the
believers were praying for him and all the Sunday school kids were also praying
for him for his faster healing.
Thanks are
to the Lord who always performs miracles. Amazingly her husband got complete
healing. He got discharged from hospital and came to the family and for few
months kept coming to the church. His spend around 60,000/- rupees on his
treatment. She borrowed this money from
one the known person. She was able to pay 40,000/- rupees back to the person.
Still she is in debt of 20,000/- rupees. As a family they became the true
followers Christ.
After coming to faith
After coming
to the faith, for few months her husband kept coming to the church. As he got
complete healing he again began to go for the Lorry driving. Again, most of the
days of a month, he will be away from the family. Again he fell into heavy
drinking habits. The family lost the peace and joy. Now he developed some
psychological problems and bothers the family a lot. His wife and two daughters
are praying earnestly for him that he may come back to Christ and live a life
of devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Learning the tailoring Skills
Thus living a peace less life without having
money, depending much on the husband, she was in a difficult situation. In such
a phase of the life S&S launched the free tailoring tuition center. Joined
this Sharon tailoring center in Gunadala, Vijayawada. This 6 months course has
become a boon for her, as she learned to stitch children’s cloths, blouse, baby
frocks, woman’s petticoats, and cloths for small kids and all the modern
dresses. Along with that she learned some handicraft works such as ladies mini
vanity bags, decorative stars etc.
Her Vision and future plan
As she
received her graduation and a free sewing machine she is very much optimistic
about the future. She says with this sewing machine she can put up a small
tailoring shop. Once the customers start to come in to the shop she can easily
earn 150/- rupees per day. Once her get settles she will move to the city and
start the shop there and she can earn more money. This tailoring skill is
making her self-supportive and independent. The money which she will earn she
can easily take care of the children and their studies and meet other expenses
of the family.
She is very
much thankful to the Share and Serve Charitable Trust Vijayawada for imparting
the sewing skills, empowering her and giving her an independent personality in
the society. Thank to the Lord and thanks to the share & Serve charitable
Trust India.
Keep praying
for Thummalagunta Durga dev, for he husband, for her family, her children and
her shop. In heaven, you will never regret that you did it.
