Church of the Risen Christ

Dear Rev Father and brothers and sisters,
 
I came back from an awesome experience of the Holy Spirit in Bangalore for the ISAO Regional Conference. The sessions I had to give were also truly guided by the Holy Spirit. Thanks for your prayers. I now forward a testimony from one of the participants from the Middle East (Doha - Qatar) of the conference which sums up the reality of God. Please read it to be edified by our awesome God.
 
Charismatic Renewal in India as it is in other countries has reached a great height of maturity. There is no separation between the church and charismatic renewal. Everybody accepts it. We now look forward to the ISAO South East Asia conference in Penang fom 12 to 15 August 2010, and pray that God protects this conference from obstacles.
 
God bless
Gerard

Dear Br. Cyril,

JMJ

Just want to thank you so much for the 4 beautifull days in Bangalore. I can't even begin to explain it to you. There is so much I learnt and so much that I want to do. I was so thrilled that the youth from Qatar took back so much. I had to literally bend their arm and bully them to take up different things but now they have a confidence and have come back with a fire.

Just want to share a little miracle. It may mean a little to you. My son is in the 12th STD and every day it used to be a difficult task for me to wake him up to go to daily mass. Although he serves as an altar boy and also in the youth ministry, yet going to mass every morning was an ordeal for him. When I came to Bangalore I lifted up both my kids not for their academics but that they would love and serve the Lord. When I returned back home, my hubby told me that from the very next day my son asked my husband to wake him up for mass and eversince has been getting up with a passion to go for mass. To me it is indeed the greatest miracle. Do keep him in your prayers. His boards begin on the 3rd of March.

Once again I want to thank you for all the riches and the great blessings I received and you will always be in our prayers. There are loads we have to do but I know that with Him all things are possible

God Bless,
Sunita Mascarenhas (Doha- Qatar)
