TESTIMONY

JAPHET DIAS
Dear Pastor,
Praise God and wishing you a very Blessed day. Please find below my testimony:
Praise God, this is a testimony of amazing, awesome works which God has done in my life. All Glory to God and and by this testimony, I hope that many will be encouraged to worship and praise the living God and be drawn into his kingdom of love and may by this testimony, the Church be edified and our Lord and Savoiur Jesus Christ be glorified forever and ever Amen.
I developed swelling in my right leg while serving on board the ship and was sent to the doctor at foreign port. On examining me the doctor declared me unfit to work and advised me to go home as soon as possible as the diagnosis showed enlaged tumors on my right thigh, stomach and around the chest. Once I arrived in Mumbai the company Doctor referred me to doctors at Nanavati Hospital and doctors advised me to undergo Open Biopsy to remove one of the tumors and send it for testing. After doing this the test result showed that I had Non Hodgkins Lyphoma, cancer of Lymphatic system or Lymph nodes. Futher test showed that the disease was active and had to be treated with Chemotheraphy and combination of another drug. Meantime my wife's cousin Nestor and his family in Mumbai whom God has ordained to be with us in all times of our trial, was constantly ministering to us the Word of the Lord and praying for us. Before leaving Mumbai Nestor had given us Pastor Robin's VCD which we watched at home and saw the great works God had used him for and hoped that such a Miracle would happen in our life. After three weeks we came to Mumbai for the next cycle and before starting the cycle Nestor was with us and he said "Lets call all Pastors to pray for you". When we got Pastor Robin on the phone, he prayed and made time for us and called us to meet him before we left for Goa. We were an hour late but he was waiting for us. He prayed, laying his hand on me and I felt chill in my forearms and calves. After 3 cycles, we had to undergo a Pet CT Scan the findings to Scan showed that the disease was no more active and was existing only in one gland on my right thigh. Pastor Robin said, " God does not leave any work He has started incomplete." We claimed it and our hope and faith became stronger. After Six Cycles of Chemotheraphy we underwent Scan again and findings showed the disease was no more in my body. I was healed of cancer! All Glory and praise to Jesus! We came to the hotel and went on our knees and thanked God and praised him for his wonderful and mighty work. As we all know, such treatments cost a lot of money. This is how God provided for me. I was on the ship only for 2 months till I came back home unfit for duty and had not even finished my 3 months Probation period. I was on my first contract with them. But my company bore the cost of the total treatment including medicines, air travel expense for me and my wife and hotel accomodation in Mumbai. I thank God for the Miraculous healing! I pray to God to bless Pastor Robin, fill and equip him more and more and use him mightily to carry out Gods mighty Wonderous works and overflow of the Gifts of The Holy Spirit. God Bless PASTOR ROBIN ALMEIDA.
Thanking You,
Japhet, Rose, Jason and Janice
