Testimony (Oswin Michael)

          Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I was born and brought up in a Roman Catholic family in a village called Sadayalputhur in Kanyakumari District Tamil Nadu South India . My mother was a teacher and my father was a Panchayat Officer. When I was 14 years, I wanted to become a Catholic Priest. So I joined in Kottar Diocese Seminary, Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu, South India and studied for 1 year. Then I came back and studied Diploma in Civil Engineering. As I was not interested in continuing my studies I tried to do business. I was in Nagaland, Bombay and Madras doing all kinds of businesses. But all proved to be futile. I had a terrible loss which I was unable to bear. I had a very bad company and I was very interested in fighting and I had the capability to win. So I was used by many, in wrong ways to threaten and fight. My name was spoilt and was very famous among the Police circle.

          This being the situation, Police was always on the lookout for me. And finally I was caught in Madras by 7 Policemen and was taken to Bombay and then to Nagercoil. This news brought my family members shame. All my village members were frightened of me. I was totally depressed and I was roaming like a mad man not knowing what to do. My future was very dark. Then my sister who was in Bahrain called me there.

So I went to Bahrain hoping to see a ray of light in the valley of darkness which I was passing through. But God’s plans were different. He gave me a good job, and I left all my bad habits for which once I was addicted to. I regularly went to Church and slowly the Lord began to work in my life. I realized I was a sinner and cried to the Lord to forgive all my sins and I received God’s salvation in 1994 April 24. Then according to the word of God I took Immersion Baptism and received the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

Then after seeing my change, my sister, my brother-in-law and my mother also accepted the Lord and were baptized. In the year 1996, the Lord saved me from a major head-on collision in Bahrain without a small scratch even. The Lord used me mightily in Bahrain in hospitals and churches and gave me his gifts to deliver the demon-possessed. I had a thirst for souls, even in my work-spot I used to tell the word of God to all my co-workers. The Lord taught me the secrets of the heavenly life by leading me through a desert life.

Then in the year 1998, I came back to India as a totally changed person. The people who saw me were surprised at my change. I got married by the pure will of God in 1998 December 7, in New Life Assembly Of God Church, Saidapet, Chennai and we registered our ministry in 1999. Now the Lord has blessed us with a sweet little daughter Holia Gospelin. 

Then by the pure grace of our Lord, I left Bahrain and went to USA. Jesus led me in a beautiful way to that wonderful country. Even in USA, Lord is doing mighty things through me and now I can understand God's plan of placing me in this country. Our ministry is also growing by the grace of our Lord.

I was a useless and troublemaker when I was away from Christ. But now Jesus Christ is in total control of my life and Ministry. Please pray for our Ministry and us. JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU, DEAR BROTHER/SISTER.
