Miracles in the Ramagiri Relief CampAfter the Tundruma Program, we went to the Ramagiri Relief Camp where we ministered for the second time.
It was the plan of God that we could able to go and spend the time over there with our brothers and sisters. They were eagerly waiting for us. God used me in the way that He wanted to. It was wonderful ministry. I can say God did marvelously beyond my expectation the things which supposed to be.
It is true that the persecuted believers deserved to be filled with the Holy Spirit, to receive the Lord’s healing touch, and also to experience His mighty presence in their life. And these all happened there when we ministered to them.
We all together worshiped for few times. Then afterwards I gave the message. While I was sharing the word of God, I could see tears from many of the believers. I asked them how many of you believe that you going to receive the Christ and His healing touch in your life? So many raised their hands. And I started to minister to them.
There were hundreds of healings and miracles which took place. More than four hundred of these people raised their hands to indicate that they were receiving the Lord Jesus Christ for the first time in their lives.
These are the photos in which they are giving testimonies how they experienced the Lord’s healing touch in their lives.

She is testifying that she was healed today by the ministry of Pastor Subodh and by the grace of God.
