"Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted. Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world"- (Isaiah 12:4-5) "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will over shadow you"- (Luke 1:35) Testimonies - Part-1 Part-1 Part-2 Part-3 Part-4 Part-5 Dear uncle Suresh and all those in the Gethsemane Prayer Group, I would like to thank everyone for their prayers in regards to the renewal of my scholarship. I was granted a scholarship upon entering university, and was required to maintain a high average for its renewal. Although this school year was very difficult, I managed to maintain the average required to continue my scholarship, which makes the financial burden of school easier for my parents and I. I know this is only due to the grace of God and the prayers of the members of Gethsemane Ministries.Thanking you sincerely, Myanca Rodrigues - Etobicoke, ON., Canada - 22 Jul. 2008 My uncle is heart patient and had Major hernia surgery, Team of Doctors had given only 25% hope to survive but our mighty God has saved him with a successful surgery.I thank Br Suresh and Gethsemane intercessory ministry for powerful prayers Sunil - Toronto, Canada - 17 Jul. 2008 Dear Br. Suresh and all the other members of the Gethsemane ministry: This testomony is long overdue. I want to praise and thank our Lord Jesus for this mighty healing. My brother Trevor Gonsalves (who is in Bombay) was complaining of severe headaches and this was all due to his blood pressure which shot up so high that it ruptured one of the blood vessels thereby forming a blood clot. He was in the ICU for about a week and was very sick and no medication was acting on him. He was just not in his proper senses. A lot of people from different prayer groups in Bombay visited him and with a lot of people praying for him he got better and was discharged. Again after a few days his headaches still kept coming even inspite of the strong medication he was taking. I just did not give up praying and told our our Lord Jesus that you raised Lazarus from the dead I know you are a God of miracles with just one touch my brother Trevor will be healed I kept praying and crying out to the Lord and used to cry out to the Lord for his healing. I attended the convention at Cawthra when Fr. Augustine Vallooran came im March 2007 and during the healing I was calling out my brother's name hoping that Fr. would call out his name and with great faith I knew that Trevor would be healed slowly but surely. I went home and was feeling a lot better thinking of my brother and the mighty healings that took place at the convention. That same Friday Brother Suresh called out Trevor's name and said Trevor is being blessed and what a coincidence Trevor was preparing to go for another MRI the same time. I called up to wish him goodluck for this test and told him that he is being healed and he felt a lot better. The scan still showed a little blood clot and he was advised a surgery. He was so scared about it but the Neurosurgeon said that it was necessary as he still kept on getting headaches. The surgery was performed in Bombay. I had requested Brother Suresh to pray for this surgery. Praise the Lord ! with everyone's prayers the surgery went on well and Trevor is in good health. He was planning on staying at home but after a couple of months his boss called up and told him that he could start working again and everything would be taken care of. Praise the Lord ! endless times for this Mighty healing and countless blessings. I would also like to thank Brother Suresh and the Prayer Group for praying for my cousin Sunil Tauro who is very well now. Suddenly when Sunil was talking to his wife his tongue got heavy and he was speechless. He was rushed to the hospital and a number of tests were performed and the MRI showed that he had a serious brain infection and hence was not responding to anything. I told my cousin not to give up praying and continiously to say the Divine Mercy Rosary throughout the day. With medications and everyone's prayers Sunil got better and better day by day and now he is fine. Praise you Jesus, Thank you Jesus for this mighty healing. I also Praise and thank the Lord for healing my Uncle Joseph Anthony Fulgado who is 76 years old (in Bombay). He was operated for a frozen shoulder and also fluid in the testicles and was not keeping well for a long time but with all the trust put in Jesus our Saviour I told him not to worry Jesus would heal him. He was also had a cataract eye operation which went on well. He is a lot better. Praise and thank the Lord for this mighty healing. My family would like to thank Brother Suresh and the Gethsemane Prayer Group for all the prayers and support in these difficult times. Lord Jesus give us the grace to magnify and glorify you name forever and forever. Praise the Lord ! all the days of my life. Yours in Jesus Christ ! Lorraine/Kevin - Toronto, Canada - 20 Jan. 2008 Praise the Lord!. I want to praise and thank our Lord Jesus for blessing me with a new job. The jobs in Canada just come and go. The new job is a real miracle for me! On December 15, 2007 Br. Suresh prayed over the telephone for me. After the prayer he said that the Lord is showing him very clearly that 19th would be the date on which I will be blessed with a new job. December 19 was too near and I did not have any interview call. Normally in Canada at this time of the year, no company will hire any new employee. I thought that it could be sometime around Jan 19 or Feb 19, 2008. But next day I received a call from a company asking me to come for a test and interview on December 17, 2007. On December 18 2007, they called me back and asked me to confirm my date of joining. Since it was the Christmas season, I confirmed January 2, 2008 as my joining date. But they responded back saying that if I could start work on December 19, 2007 they will send me the offer letter by e-mail at the same moment. At that time, my Lord brought to my mind Brother Suresh’s word and asked me to go ahead. I accepted and started work on December 19th 2007. This clearly shows the power of prayer and nothing is impossible for God. This testimony is to glorify the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Also, I want to thank Br. Suresh Dominic for praying for me and revealing our Lord’s message in advance. P. Vincent Pinto - Toronto, Canada - 07 Jan. 2008 Praise the Lord. I passed my exam.Thank you for your prayers and support.Myself and my family going to USA on 18th.Please always remember us in your prayers.Thank you, Jolamma John - Canada - 04 Jan. 2008 My name is Cecil Fernandes and I am 56 years old and would like to give my testimony. I had a Heart Attack on January 26, 2004 in Toronto and after a few months when I was attending the prayer meeting at GETHSEMANE MINISTERIES Br. Suresh announced that someone present here at the meeting and who recently had a Heart Attack the Lord is Healing him. I claimed the healing for myself and continued on with my life going to work and attending the prayer meeting at Gethsemane every Friday without missing a single Friday come snow or storm rain or sunshine. Recently in September 2007 I went for my annual physical check up to my family doctor and I was told by my doctor that my sugar level was very high and that this time if I had an attack I would not live. Listening to my doctors words made me very uncomfortable, scared and worried. I was all the time thinking in my mind what if I get another attack what is going to happen and this worry was eating me up until one Friday in the first week of October 2007 while attending the Gethsemane prayer meeting Br. Suresh announced that there is someone here present who had an Heart Attack before and is worried about his condition and is frightened the Lord is touching him. I claimed the healing and many friends from the ministry also claimed the healing for me. I have faith in the Lord and after I claimed the healing the fright just disappeared from me and I became cheerful and happy once again and did not think of the past any more. Then I attended Fr. James Manjackal’s convention in Mississauga, Toronto on October 19, 20 and 21, 2007 and at the convention Fr. James Manjackal announced my name (Cecil) the Lord is touching me and also announced that there is someone who had a heart attack and is now worried and frightened and the Lord is touching that person. I claimed the healing and it was like a confirmation for me not to be afraid but have faith and trust in the Lord and everything will go well in my life. Then I attended Fr. James Manjackal’s Retreat at the YMCA in Orillia, Ontario Canada on October 26,27,28. I was not going to attend this retreat because I had an appointment on the 26th. with the eye surgeon and this appointment was difficult to get but on the last day of the convention I told my wife that we have to go for the retreat and I will cancel the appointment for THE LORD IS THE GREATEST SURGEON OF ALL MANKIND and before the end of the day we mentioned to Br. Suresh that we would like to attend the retreat. During this retreat again Fr. James announced that there is someone here who had a heart attack and was frightened of getting another attack the Lord is healing him. Fr. James also took my name (Cecil) and said that the Lord is touching me in many ways.Fr. James also mentioned that there are some who are diabetic and the Lord is healing them. I claimed the healing for myself and again it was another confirmation by Fr. James that I should trust in the Lord and have faith and should not get worried. I proclaimed all the healings and gave my testimony on Sunday October 28, 2007 before all those who were present at the retreat. I told each one that they should have faith and believe that the LORD IS THE HEALER and have faith in HIM. After the retreat I have not checked my sugar to see how high or low it is for I know that if I trust MY LORD and have faith in HIM everything will be ok and that HE will protect me at all times. Cecil Fernandes, Scarborough – Toronto, Canada - 03 Dec.2007 I thank God for blessing me with a new job. I thank Gethsemane prayer group for their powerful prayers. Praise the Lord. Baptist Sunil Lobo (Mudigere) Toronto ON - 15 Oct. 2007 By the grace of God , I finally got an offer to join another job . I agreed to it and I will be joining most probably on 23rd Aug Praise the Lord ! .The offer was good, benefits were even better .Also as you mentioned to me after praying over me , about me getting a job in the government , I did get the job in an organization that is semi government.Praise the Lord ! Also no more shift work and also no more work in the weekends which was always an obstacle when it came to taking part either in a music practise or in a outreach retreat ,leave alone the whole day Saturday prayer .Now I think I can serve the Lord every weekend if need be to my heart's content in the ministry.God has also greatly blessed me in so many other ways as well which if I have to recount now would take a long time.Thank you for all your prayers and to all those who prayed for me . Stan, Brampton, ON, Canada - 16 August 2007 My dear Br.Suresh and all my brothers and sisters in the Gethsemane Prayer group: This is a testimony of my niece in Mumbai (my sister's daughter). She is 15 years old and has just passed her S.S.L.C examination in May 2007.She got 79.83% in her exam and was seeking admission in one of the colleges in Mumbai in the Science stream.The college that she wanted to gain admission to was Bhavan's college as her parents wanted one close to their house. Commuting in Mumbai is a nightmare and this was the reason.The cut-off at the college for admission to the science stream was 90%.Her parents did not give up hope but they trusted in God. They had just returned from a retreat at Tabor Ashram in Kalyan and were certain that God would do the impossible.I also lifted her up in prayer every Friday when I came for the Prayer meeting during the Praise and Worship as well as in my personal prayer. Even when we said the family rosary, we always prayed for this intention. I told my sister to continue praying and I would also do so. Around July 25, she got a call from the college that she could pay her fees by the end of the month. My mother and sister asked me to give this testimony to Gethsemane Prayer group. All praise and thanks to our Lord Jesus for this favour and many other favours received. My thanks to Br. Suresh and all the other members of the Gethsemane Prayer group. Please continue to pray for my niece in her college years.Your loving brother in Jesus Christ. Kevin Rodrigues, Toronto, Canada - 01 August 2007 I am an Indian working for the US in the Middle East. Being the only Indian in my work place, I was being racially discriminated against by colleagues, particularly one female, doing all in her power to harm my career. I endured this harassment for over 11 months. In June 2007, when I attempted to apply for a higher position she took this opportunity to block my career, by using the influence she had with our Department Officer to find fault with my work. Any disciplinary action would result in my inability to pursue my studies and be promoted. I was devastated and I experienced severe tension, and sleeplessness. I some how mustered up courage to file a written complaint at the higher level. This resulted in an inquiry commission being instituted to investigate into my complaints. At this juncture, prompted by a close friend, in Canada, I called Brother Suresh Dominic for guidance and prayers. Brother Suresh listened to me and then prayed and consoled me with the message that there will be a miracle in 3 days time. He advised me to pray the Rosary every day and to read the Bible diligently. After our conversation I felt relieved of all tension and complete peace of mind prevailed. That day, when I prayed the Rosary, I felt the presence of Mother Mary and I also felt as though someone was anesthetizing me. After many days and nights of sleeplessness, I slept very peacefully. The most unbelievable miracle did indeed happen on the third day. The officer who was unfairly trying to punish me at the behest of this female friend was caught red-handed in a compromising situation. He was removed from his official capacity immediately. Both, the officer and his female friend, were demoted and subjected to further investigation.The Inquiry Commission findings exonerated me and found no work related deficiency in me. The flags (markers) in my profile were all removed and the status set to normal. All others colluding with the officer were officially censured. In my heart, I believe that with the intercession of Mother Mary, Jesus intervened in my case and miraculously saved me from my troubles. Words are inadequate to thank Mother Mary and my Lord Jesus. My heart felt thanks to Brother Suresh for his sincere PRAYERS and his valuable ADVICE. May God bless him and Gethsemane Ministries. Somy Thokkupara, Kerala, India - 23 July 2007 My dear Brother Suresh and our Gethsemane Prayer group: This is Long overdue.Thank you for all your prayers for my mother who has now been healed of her arthritic pains. She is 80 plus. It was in July 2006 when she fell down and hurt herself. She was also constipated for about 10 days. At the Praise and worship, I asked Br Suresh to pray for her. He told me that during the Praise and worship he would do so. The next day when I went to see her at my sister's place, she was healed of her constipation but the pains in her back were still there and she had to be held by her hand and taken around the house for her meals as well as to the washroom. At times the pains were so severe that she had to be fed on the bed as she could barely sit up. Anyway I put my trust in Jesus our saviour and told her not to worry as Jesus would heal her. I used to pray over her whenever I visited her. In September she went back to India with the pains still there. Thank God for her safe journey to Mumbai. She was living with my other sister in Mumbai. She got better although the pains were there.Finally in January 2007, she recovered fully and once again on her feet walking around. She is now back in Canada on another trip. She came all by herself in March 2007. She has asked me to send this testimony and thank Br Suresh and the Gethsemane prayer group for their prayers. Praise the Lord. Thank you Jesus and Glorify your name.Thank you Brother Suresh and the Gethsemane Prayer group once again.Your loving brother in Jesus Christ Kevin - Toronto, Canada - 16 Apr 2007 During the last week of December 2006, Divya, Usha's three year old niece had become seriously sick while the family was vacationing at Los Angels. She was suffering from acute pneumonia and we had requested prayers from all. Now Divya has recovered and she is back home in Sanfrancisco yesterday.We praise the Lord for the Mighty Healing and express our deep gratitude to all for their fervant and consistant prayers.Thank you. Usha & Jacob - Toronto, Canada - 09 Jan 2007 We thank Jesus on our knees for being so very kind and merciful towards us, throughout our ordeal in arranging the sale of our house in India. It was only His mercy, love & wisdom that guided us throughout our stay in India and made it possible for us to close the sale deal successfully and handover the house to the new owner in just 8 business days! It was a surprise to both us and our family as to how this could all come together in such a short time, when in reality it would take more than 6 - 8 weeks for such a task to come to a successful end! As I thank my Father for all His blessings that He has continued to shower upon us and our family, I pray that He shows His mercy and love on all those needy bretheren of mine who are struggling with financial difficulties and lack of a proper job.Thank you for your continuous prayers and support. May God Bless you all, Jerome & Prescilla Pais - Toronto, Canada - 14 Sep 2006 Praise the Lord! We migrated to Canada a couple of years ago with our two little children. It was very difficult to start right from the scratch in a new country! But our Lord is an awesome God! He blessed us with jobs, a little home of our own and everything that we needed. Praise the Lord! Vincent was trying to obtain his industrial electrical licence. The holy spirit guided him to the right source and enabled him to score 78% marks and obtain his licence. Everything is possible only with our Lord Jesus! A special thanks to all at Gethsemane Ministeries especially the intercessory prayer group for all their prayers and continuous support. Lord please give us the grace to magnify and bless your name forever and forever! Praise the Lord! Yours in Jesus, Vincent and Veena Pinto - Toronto, Canada - 26 May 2006 Thank you Br.Suresh, I would like to Praise and Glorify His Almighty name. He is all powerful. My mother-in-law went through a bypass surgery on Feb 27th and things looked very downhill the next day after the surgery. It was a day of fear and uncertainty, He who is Almighty was there and watching over her and all her children. He touched her and I know His healing hand touched her and things looked better as the day progressed i.e Feb 28th. The entire staff working on her started to clap, cause things looked so much better as compared to the morning. Praise God all praise and claps to His will and plan. She was on the breathing tube for a week and the Good Lord healed her of that too. She was off the breathing tube for almost 2 weeks. Praise God, knowing He is there at all times and watching over His people, gave us and her a lot of faith, strength and courage.Health issues are there but like I said He is taking care of her. All is well in His hands Her heart looks fine after the surgery, Praise God. The lungs are an issue still with regards to her breathing, but we lay all are concerns and thought in His hands that He will take care of this as well. Praise You Jesus, Thank you Jesus. Alzera Alfonso - Toronto, Canada - 23 Mar 2006 I would like to give my testimony of the physical healings I have had in my life. In 1999 I was diagonosed with Ovarian cancer and after 2 surgeries I was scheduled for chemotherapy in January of the following year. I visited the Divine Retreat Centre in December and returned to Dubai to find out that I did not require chemotherapy because tests taken after my return proved that I did not require treatment. I was suffering from diarrhoea and weight loss since November 2003 and doctors could not diagnose what was wrong with me. I had lost 15 kgs in weight and thought that my cancer had returned. I had asked Suresh to pray for me in January 2005 and in March 2005 I was admitted to Mt.Sinai hospital and diagnosed with Crohns. I was put on medication and recovered rightaway. I thank God for keeping our family together in times of despair and for the peace and renewed faith that he has given our family since we have started attending the Gethsemane prayer group. For this and much more I thank our God. Evangeline - Toronto, Canada - 15 Mar 2006 Dear friends, I would like to thank you for your prayers for the confirmation of my employment. God has heard our prayers. Praise and thanks to Him. Thank you very much for your intercession and prayers. God bless all of you. Maria - Toronto, Canada - 10 Mar 2006 Dear Brother Suresh, Hope you are doing well. Your talk on Friday was extremely inspiring and motivating. I was writing this email to thank you and the prayer group members who prayed for my cousin in India. He is well and back home, walking, talking and everything. The good Lord has been very merciful and without prayers nothing would have been possible. Once again this is my testimony on behalf of him to thank everyone for their prayers.Thanks and have a blessed day. Susan - Toronto, Canada - 23 Jan 2006 Praise the Lord! I would like to thank and praise the Lord for granting our son, Alston, a very good job at a bank. His love & mercy towards my family has been endless, and I ask His blessings and kindness upon all those who are without a job and are continuing their search. Help them Lord and ease their financial hardship!. Prescilla Pais - Toronto, Canada - 19 Dec 2005 Praise the Lord ! Now Kiran is very active and good girl in Christ. She talks well and understands well (She was in ventilator for 2 months). God has done great things in her life. I can say it is a very great miracle in the life. Because doctors said no cure for this type of bacteria which affected the brain, the bacteria affected is not treatable in medical history. Doctors advised for prayer and love. Our family friend doctor who came from Florida and visited her, he also told us that no medicine for this sickness in American medical history. Any way our God is living God, he did great things. Thanking God for all his great love shown in our life. Also my special thanks for the Gethsemane Ministries. Let God pour out his blessings to all our brothers and sisters.Thank you Jesus. Georgekutty & Family - Edmonton, Canada - 14 Nov 2005 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, about two weeks back I had sent a prayer request for our friend who was seriously ill due to an internal bleeding after a cesarean section. In the last two weeks our heavenly father have blessed her and family abundantly through the divine healing. Many thanks for your prayer support. She is recovering well and possibly will get discharged from the hospital by next week. Please continue remembering her and family in your prayers. Sabu & Maria, Canada - 10 Oct 2005 Dear Brothers and Sisters, I was suffering from severe and continuous bleeding for the past 6 months. I used to feel very frustrated, uncomfortable and emotional. When I went for the recent live-in retreat at Jackson’s point I prayed very hard. I asked brother Suresh also to pray for me. When I reached home after the retreat, the bleeding had completely stopped but unfortunately it was back on next day. I was very sad and upset and I cried to God asking Him why He didn't want to heal me. And from that day onwards I started praying the rosary everyday and waited patiently for God’s time. A few weeks later, on 13th of August I went for the Malayalam prayer meeting and brother Suresh prayed over me. After that prayer, on our way home in the car, I felt great peace and happiness in my heart. Two days later the bleeding completely stopped. My Gynecologist had told me that I will have to take medication for 6 months and that I may even have to continue for one year. Many of my friends told me that I should continue the medication even though the bleeding had stopped, but I prayed to Jesus and stopped the medication. By my God's mercy on me, now I am completely free from everything and I believe in my heart that Jesus has touched and healed me. Praise The Lord! I would like to testify also one more miracle, which I have never testified. After my daughter Abigail was born, the doctors had told me that I have hernia. Because of hernia I could not hold my baby and the doctor suggested that I do not carry the baby to avoid the problem getting worse. It was very difficult for me. One year back I attended a retreat in Mount Alverno with my husband and daughter Abigail. During the time of healing prayer, brother Suresh prayed over me. I had not told him that I had hernia. At the end of the retreat when everyone was leaving, brother Suresh told me that when he prayed over me he felt I had some trouble in my stomach and that Jesus has healed it. I did not take it serious at that time. When I reached home I felt no pain in my stomach and since that very moment I have never felt the pain of hernia ever until today. I thank God and Praise Him for the blessings he has showered upon me. Praise The Lord! Rolcy, Hamilton, Canada - 30 Aug 2005 Praise the Lord. I am suppose to send this testimony six months back, while I was sick around december 2004. I had an over sized tumor in the right ovary. Doctors told me that the tumor may be malignant and need a surgery soon. I was very upset and worried too much about the tumor. I called Bro.Suresh and he prayed with me over the phone, after that I didn’t worry much about the tumor. We started praying and also requested Gethsemane for their prayers. I went to India and had my surgery there. Doctors also mentioned that If there is any malignancy, there will be a second surgery within one weeks time. Week after my surgery doctor told that my biopsy result was negative and don’t need any more surgery. Thank you Jesus, for this great miracle. For the last one month i discovered an unusual pain in my side and back, that was very persistent and was getting worst day by day. I saw the specialist and he told me that the scar from my previous surgery may not be healed. He sent me for an ultrasound. I also attended Gethsemane weekly prayer meeting on Aug. 5th Friday, during praise and worship, Bro.Suresh announce that Jesus is healing two persons’ internal organs. I truly believe that i received the healing. After the prayer meeting Bro.Suresh prayed over me. I experienced a big fire in my stomach, also felt weightlessness and fell down on the floor. Jesus touched and healed me that very moment. After that I didn’t feel any pain in my body. I also received my recent ultrasound report and it was absolutely normal.Thank you Jesus, for this wonderful miracle. My sincere thanks to Gethsemane for their prayer support.Thank you Jesus and praise you Jesus. Mini, Toronto, Canada – 14 Aug 2005 Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I had sent in a prayer request for my father in India who was battling a legal court case for nearly 3 years after retirement. Yesterday the verdict was given in favour of my father and the court case was won. My father was a paper setter for English - Grade 12 prelimanary exams in India. He had asked students to write on a topic which was 'Hindutva and its disastrous affects on secular India' in 2002. One of the parents who was with the BJP/Shiv Sena (hindu fundamentalists) political group took offence to this essay and threatened to sue the School & the teacher for having asked students to comment on that essay. They felt that the Catholic school was trying to breed hatred in a Hindu country and trying to propagate thier Catholic faith. This was not at all the intention of my father who had written it so that students can think and comment on what was happening in India at that time (where political parties in their fundamentalistic approach can destroy a thriving multicultural and tolerant country - India). The School got away by bribing but the teacher (i.e my father) had to take rounds of the court for something that he did not intend at all. He had to keep on going for the court hearings month after month. At his age (post retirement) he did not need this. Here is a man who has always stood strongly for the truth and has always led a straight and non-interfering life and this was something completely uncalled for. Anyways, our God is very just and yesterday was his verdict. The case was in his favour. 'Praise the Lord' I thank our Lord Jesus in whose trust I kept all my trials and tribulations and that of my family. I want to thank all those who prayed for my father during his time of need and would like to thank Gethsemane ministries for praying for him. Praise to our Lord Jesus Christ. Susan, Toronto, Canada - 18 July 2005 I came to Toronto for my sister-in-laws wedding and decided to give my Canadian passport for renewal. I was supposed to fly back to Seattle on June 28th but because we had to move I decided to pre-pone my flight to June 21st. So beginning June I called the office and they kept saying that it was in progress and I would receive the renewed passport on June 10th. June 10th came and they still were working on my passport. I asked Gethsemane Ministries and Suresh to pray for me and my situation. I was supposed to receive it on June 17th but because they sent it to the wrong address it had to come back to Passport Canada and then mailed out to my address in Scarborough. I attend the live in retreat and prayed and started claiming all God's promises in the Bible, so I gave up worrying and started trusting. When I came back from the retreat I called the office again, praying and praising the Lord and the passport had reached the office and they sent it to my address in Scarborough. I received my passport on June 21st in the morning and June 21st in the evening I flew to Seattle. Praise the Lord - He taught me how to trust in Him and in doing that anything is possible with the Lord. Praise the Lord. Mona, WA, U.S.A - 23 June 2005 My boyfriend is in USA and he is not a Christian. I drew on all strength through prayer to show him the way to God and having faith in Lord Jesus. After 2 1/2 years of being in Canada, he recently got a new job in the US and we were happy on his success. However 4 days after he started working, the company in the US terminated the project he was working on and therefore he lost his job. Well he kept on giving up and loosing hope, and I told him that loosing hope obviously is not going to help him, neither is it going to make me any stronger. I started going daily to the Blessed Sacrament before I start work and spent half an hour, for over a month. I kept on praising God for everything. Soon after three days (last Friday) he was offered another job in his field and in a good company. I want to praise and thank God, that even though he is not Christian, God used me to bring him one step closer to Jesus and to realize the "Power of Prayer". We have started praying every night and continue to do so. I praise and thank God for blessing me with such a wonderful person, and strengthening us through all our trials and tribulations. I truly believe that our Jesus is an awesome God !.. Monisha, Canada - 21 June 2005 My husband and myself decided to start looking for a home. We saw a lot of homes and in that time we were preparing to fly to Toronto for my husband's sister's wedding. I was leaving on May 3rd and I was praying that we find a home so I was able to have a look at it as well. We kept looking but there wasn't a home out there that we liked. We called Suresh on Tuesday evening and asked him to pray with us and we had asked other Gethsemane Ministry to pray for us as well. Suresh got a message from the Lord and conveyed it to us. On Sunday I decided to have a look at the Remax website to see if new homes were on the market. It was the Holy Spirit that lead me to ckeck the site as a new listing was there that we really liked. We called the Realtor and asking him that we'd like to see the home. That evening we saw the home and Praise the Lord it confirmed Suresh's message and the home that we were looking for. April 30th we put in the offer and May 26th we closed on the home without any problems or complications. Praise the Lord as His Holy Spirit lead us to the home on the website and the Lord helped us close on the home without any problems. The Lord was there with us all the way - All Praise and Glory to the Lord. Mona and John, WA, U.S.A - 21 June 2005 Praise the Lord! Thank you Jesus! Praise you Jesus! My brother's wife Priya delivered a baby girl by C section on May 19, 2005. A couple of days after that she appeared to be very restless and there was a slight memory loss. The doctors were confused and were questioning us if she had some tension. I sent a prayer request to Gethsemane 24 hour prayer line to ask our Lord to atleast diagonise the problem.

Assuring you of our fervent prayers always.Yours in Jesus, Veena, Toronto - 16 June 2005 Dearest friends praise the Lord, He has done great things. After the easter feastdays, I got the report from Doctor regarding the operation that was done just before easter sunday. In hospital a malignant cancerous growth was removed from my right testicle. This type of cancer is likely to appear between the age of 18 and 30 and from 30 onward the likeliness of this cancer to appear is diminishing. Now my cancer came and as the Doctor said, this is a very fast spreading, insidious type of cancer, but obviously it did not spread - was miraculously "burt out","imploded", yes such were the Doctors words. I thank and praise the Lord who has given me healing on behalf of your intercession, may the Lord bless you and your ministry, Jesus´powerfull precious blood shall protect you and strengthen you.The Lord our God shall, annoint you with His precious Holy Spirit, I pray to the Father, through the Holy Spirit, in Jesus Name, Amen. Praise the Lord. Hans Michael, Germany - 10 April 2005 Dear brothers and sisters, I had sent a prayer request for my mother who was suffering from headache for a long time. She is now feeling much better through divine healing. Praise the lord. Thank you for the payer support and please continue to remember her in your prayers. With love and prayers, Sabu, Toronto, Canada - 7 April 2005 My dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, my mother was suffering a lot for a long time due to hardening of her tongue. As a result of this, her toungue became very rough and she could not feel any kind of taste of food or drinks. We started praying and our Lord Jesus gave us a wonderful opportunity to attened the Gethsemane Ministries retreat conducted on March 5 & 6, 2005. When she closed her eyes and prayed after the preaching of the word of God, she saw a bright light passing over her face and at the same time she smelled a sweet fragrance. During the Holy Mass when she received the Holy communion she experienced a burning sensation on her tongue. When she reached home she recognized that her tongue became very smooth and light. Now she can feel all kinds of taste of food and drink very well.For the last three years she could not kneel down due to stiffness and pain in the knee. But at the time of the adoration of the Blessed sacarament, she was able to kneel down easily in front of theBlessed Sacrament with out any pain. From then on all the stiffness and pain in her knee diappeared and now she does not have any problem kneeling down. Praise the Lord! Thankyou Jesus for healing my mother. Sally, Hamilton, Canada - 14 Mar 2005 Dear Brothers & Sisters, Praise the Lord. A few months back I had sent a prayer request for my wife’s family.They were struggling to dispose of some property.They found buyer and sold the property at a reasonable price. We all are thanking Lord for this great blessing.Thank you for your kind prayers. Please continue to remember us in your prayers.With Love & Prayers, Sabu, NS, Canada - 14 Mar 2005 My son Trevor aged 3, developed high fever accompanied by convulsions/seizures one Sunday evening last month. He was breathless and his lips turned blue. As it happened for the first time, we did not know what to do. Also as it was a Sunday, there were no doctors available. I cried out our Lord’s name and at that same moment, the Holy Spirit enlightened my husband Paul to put a cold cloth on his burning forehead. Meanwhile I dialed emergency. In a couple of minutes he revived and was breathing normally even before the doctors arrived. After he was rushed to hospital, I send a prayer request to the Gethsemane 24-hour prayer line. The doctors diagnosed it to be a viral infection and he recovered within 3-4 days. Praise the Lord! Thank you Jesus! My husband Paul developed high blood pressure. We came to know when he casually checked it at a medical store. It was really shocking as he never had this problem before and that too at such a young age! He went to a doctor who confirmed that indeed he was suffering from high blood pressure. He asked him to reduce salt intake and check it again in a couple of weeks. I send a prayer request to the Gethsemane prayer group. When we checked it again in a week’s time, it had come down to normal. Praise the Lord! Also a very special thanks to the Gethsemane intercessory group for their prayers and support. May our Lord continue to shower his blessings on you and give you the strength and courage to spread the good news of his salvation to the world.Yours in Jesus, Paul and Veena, Toronto, Canada - 11 Mar 2005 Dear brother Suresh, My husband and I thank you very much for responding to the prayer request I left on the phone line. It was a pleasant surprise when you called and pray with us and inquire about my eldest brother's sickness. All prayers worked wonders and my brother was discharged from the UK hospital, the same day you prayed with us. The doctors could not confirm that it was a heart attack, which was good news. We were praying, praising and thanking the Lord for 3 hours at a stretch when we heard the shocking news of my brother and uncle’s hospitalization for heart problem.My priest uncle was also out of the intensive care unit in USA and was discharged from hospital 2 days after you prayed. My mother's (in Sri Lanka) aches and pains due to heart failure too had vanished. God answered our prayers in miraculous ways by reaching out and healing three of my family members at the same time in 3 different countries (UK, USA and Sri Lanka). You praying with us were an added consolation and your kindness is greatly appreciated. We thank and Praise the Lord for the great relief and blessings imparted upon us. And also I like to mention that I got complete cure for my womb problem by praying together with my husband. Once again I thank you very much for your prayers and we continue to pray for all the brothers and sisters in your ministry. May you all be blessed with God's mighty power as you do the good work of spreading God's Holy Word. Melany, Scarborough, Canada - 28 Feb 2005 Praise the Lord.

Hans Michael, Germany - 25 Feb 2005 Dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you for your prayers and for helping other people to know Jesus. I want to thank our Lord Jesus and your wonderful ministry for helping us and for your prayers. May God Bless you. Angelica, Toronto, Canada - 21 Feb 2005 In November 2004 I hurt by back at home. As a result could not sit or stand on my feet, I also had difficulty turning in bed and this frightened me as I thought I would be bed-ridden since I suffer from osteopenia. A family friend mentioned this prayer group and offered to drive me. So I attended my first prayer meeting on November 26th, I sat most of the time as I could not stand for more than 5 minutes. After the meeting Brother Suresh prayed over me. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in two weeks. The following Tuesday I had gone shopping at Wal-Mart and I realized I had been walking for almost 2-1/2 hours without feeling any pain in my back or legs. Praise the Lord! My eyes filled with tears because He had accepted me in spite of all my shortcomings and healed me. I want to thank each and every one of you who prayed for me that day for my physical and spiritual healing. Whenever I am disturbed I turn to something religious, be it the bible when I am at home or the radio when I am on the road. I know now that all that matters is that I spend each day in the way the Lord would want me to and that is all that matters. I have a long way to go, but I know my Lord will guide me through it one day at a time. Over the past years I had slowly drifted away from prayers due to all my worldly commitments. I always had an excuse not to pray and I justified it very well too. Now, I find peace in pray and am able to pray first thing in the morning, during the day and last thing at night. We have also started praying the family rosary every night. My son had some issues at the campus where he resides and my daughter at the place where she works. We prayed over it and the problems either disappeared or were resolved in a good way. At home we now call it the POWER OF PRAYER. All of this has touched my daughter’s heart too. She too prays on her knees each morning. We’ve had some issues with our business, but ever since we started attending the meetings we have seen our Lord’s hand every step of the way. I know He will guide us in doing the right thing. Fatima, Toronto, Canada - 12 Feb 2005 Testimonies: Part-1 Part-2 Part-3 Part-4 Send your Testimonies to Gethsemane
