Personal Stories

I am twenty-six years old. From an early age, the Lord had started working in me the desire to know Him and have a relationship with Him. However, I held back because I came from a legalistic background and was afraid of losing my salvation.

Pastor Prince, a few years ago, God brought you to my attention during one of the darkest years of my life.

My husband and I had been having trouble deciding whether we wanted kids or not. Growing up an only child, the thought of having children didn’t interest me much. But something changed when I turned thirty and after months of discussion, my husband and I decided to leave the decision in God’s hands.

At the height of my career success, I was at my darkest point. According to the world, I was performing well. My name was known for getting the job done and I was counted on. But I was miserable. I was fighting for my life.

I became a Christian when I was studying in university. One year after graduating, I married my wife who was attending the same church as I was. God blessed us with 2 boys in our first 3 years of marriage. But life was not easy during those years. The devil kept blocking us from seeing the truth, love, and grace of Jesus Christ. My family struggled spiritually and financially.

I thank my Daddy God for Pastor Joseph Prince’s ministry, Grace Revolution Church Online (GRCO), and GRCO Digital Care Groups (DCG). My husband’s and my life have been radically transformed by the gospel of grace.

In October 2013, my father went through four big surgeries in six weeks for his spine, a heart clot, bladder cancer, and a prostate condition. For an eighty-five-year-old, it took God’s grace to survive the back-to-back surgeries.

For almost 30 years, I was a prisoner of the law of the old covenant and was under harsh teachings from the pulpit. About 10 years ago, I made a decision to leave church after which I felt so lost and was almost driven to despair because of a guilt-ridden mind.

I have been a Spirit-filled Christian attending Spirit-led churches for thirty years. I never strayed from the Lord in those years and always considered myself a committed Christian. But about three years ago, I lost my job as a chemist in a pharmaceutical company.

I started watching Joseph Prince in 2015 by accident when my television cable channels went down in a storm, and I had to re-tune all my channels. When it updated, it added Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), and Joseph Prince was on. It was strange for me to receive an English network as I live abroad in Spain. What caught my attention was hearing the word grace, as it is my daughter’s name. She had recently left to go to university in London, and after 17 years of just the two of us together, I was feeling so sad and alone—she is my world.

In April 2022, I saw the animation video for the theme of the year Pastor Prince received for his ministry—the year of rest and acceleration. When I saw the images of the young people holed up in their rooms with darkness surrounding and within them, I immediately thought of my young, adult son. He had been suffering from depression and anxiety since childhood and was diagnosed and placed on medication when he was in high school.

Pastor Prince, your ministry has helped me in ways beyond my imagination. My elder sister, Pooja, was the one who introduced me to your teachings. She had experienced the love of Jesus and I accepted Jesus partly due to her experience.
