Praise the Lord, Respected Sir and Madam,
My name is Manikumari, and I am working as a health worker in the Guntur section. I would like to share a testimony from my field visit.
One day, I visited a man named Subramanyam, who is 65 years old. He told me that he was suffering from high sugar levels, and the doctors had confirmed through reports that his diabetes was not under control. He was also having a heart problem, which made his condition more serious. He asked me how he could control his sugar levels and improve his health.
After understanding his condition, I advised him to make changes in his daily lifestyle and food habits. I told him to completely avoid sweet items and reduce the intake of tea and coffee. I encouraged him to eat healthy foods such as ragi idly, dosa, oats upma, and to include oats in his daily diet to help control his appetite and sugar levels. I also advised him to eat brown rice with boiled vegetables like ladies finger, potato, and tomato. I gave him green leafy vegetables and suggested that he eat fresh curry leaves every morning. I also advised him to eat chapati (pulka) and reduce non-vegetarian food to once a month.
He sincerely followed all the advice that I gave him. After some time, he went for his monthly medical check-up, and the doctors informed him that his sugar levels had come under control. Now he is feeling much better and is able to manage his health properly.
He expressed his gratitude and happiness, saying by thanking me.
I also prayed for him and encouraged him to continue following healthy habits.
Stories like this are only possible because of the faithful support and prayers of people like you. Through the simple ministry of health education, encouragement, and prayer, lives are being changed in villages and communities that might otherwise have little access to this kind of care. Thank you for making it possible for workers like Manikumari to bring hope, healing, and the love of Jesus to those in need. Your partnership is touching lives in meaningful and lasting ways.
