Testimony:

The Lord who bore our curses in the cross
Mr. Mahadev Subhash Gaikwad from Davanhiparga, Dist Latur Maharashtra, was a non believer and gave strong opposition to the ministry work. In his family for 2 generations there was no girl child and the children born used to die due to some or the other reason. So they were very much disappointed. Mr. Mahadev did not have child even after 5 years of his happy married life. He and his wife Rita went to many doctors, did poojas and even went to witchcraft practitioners but all in vain. They were very much disappointed and unhappy but he did not stop opposing the Ministry work.
            Pastor Mohan Nikalje went to their house many times to preach the Gospel but they did not respond at all. One day Mr. Mahadev and his wife came to Walandi Church heavy hearted. Pastor Mohan and the entire congregation prayed for them and they regularly started coming to the Church. God heard there Prayers and turned the hopelessness of Gaikwad family into a hope of Lord Jesus Christ.
            Few days’ later the Gaikwad family realized that the Lord has blessed them with the fruit of womb which no one on earth was able to do for them. From that day onwards Gaikwad family started growing in Faith. Lord Jesus Christ turned the curse of 2 generations into a blessing for Mahadev and Rita.
            In June 2011 their Daughter was dedicated at Vishwa Vani Walandi Church. Lord changed a hopeless nonbeliever into a fruitful believer.
