Healing the Body and Soul!
Anitha Subba of Singpheng village, Sikkim was affected by physical and mental illness one after the other. The entire family was in great trouble. On hearing the words of the neighbor, in order to make their daughter live, Anita’s parents brought her to the church in the Singpheng village. A miracle happened in the Name of Jesus. Now Anita is not only the member of the church but the one who has confessed her faith and has committed her life totally for the Lord. She is a believer in Christ and also a soldier in His Kingdom shouldering the ministry of the Lord. - Worker Keshar Rai.
