30 Pastors Couldn’t Help Me, But Jesus Restored My Life - Grace Ministry Testimony 2025

Grace Ministry Bangalore, Testimony 2025,

My name is Shannon, and I grew up in Bangalore. My life hasn’t been easy, and for a long time I lived in a kind of darkness I couldn’t understand. Today, I want to share how God pulled me out of that place and gave me a life filled with hope and purpose.

Everything started when I was in the 9th grade. Out of nowhere, I began feeling an overwhelming sadness the kind that made it hard to even get out of bed. I couldn’t take care of myself, couldn’t go to school, couldn’t function. Eventually, I had to drop out. Somehow I pushed myself through the 10th, 11th, and 12th, but when I reached degree college, the same darkness came back even stronger.

I was constantly sad, filled with negative thoughts, and barely sleeping. The fear of not being able to finish my studies made me feel like my life was over. I even had moments where I didn’t want to live anymore. When my parents took me to a psychiatrist, I was diagnosed with clinical depression, and soon after, I went through a relapse. My teenage years were spent taking medications, attending expensive therapy sessions, and rushing to hospitals during panic attacks. And every time the doctors would tell us, “All her tests are normal.” But inside, I was breaking.

We went from pastor to pastor, more than 30 of them hoping for help. Nothing changed. I reached a point where I lost faith in everything. I didn’t want prayers, I didn’t want treatment, and honestly, I didn’t want life.Then one day, my parents found Grace Ministry online and decided to take me to Mangalore. I still remember walking into the church and seeing Bro Andrew for the first time. I was tired, skeptical, and honestly thinking, “Here we go again.” But the moment he laid his hand on me, something shifted. I fell under the power of the Holy Spirit, and I felt something leave my body. I can’t explain it I just felt lighter.

Bro Andrew told me, “My daughter, do not fear. You will recover fast.” That night, I had a vision of God covering me, and the next morning I woke up with a joy I hadn’t felt in years. My parents were shocked. It was like the depression was just lifted of from me. I stopped needing medication, and God began restoring me completely.

That healing didn’t stop with me. Our whole family started experiencing breakthroughs. Bro Andrew taught us about sowing, about renewing our thoughts, and about fighting the enemy spiritually and financially. Our loans which should have taken 11 years to repay were cleared in one go. My dad received a brand new Hummer car worth 1 crore. My brother, who never read the Bible before, began standing on the stage translating Bro Andrew's Sermons. God started restoring everything we had lost.

I was working a normal job at the time, but deep inside, I felt drawn to serve God. Through godly counselling, I made the decision to leave my job and enter ministry full-time. And for the first time in my life, I feel like I am doing exactly what I was created to do.

Bro Andrew’s  teachings about the season of harvest changed our entire mindset. We grew up thinking poverty was normal, but he taught us that God wants His children to live blessed lives. Even during difficult times, we sowed faithfully and we saw miracles in our finances. The girl who once prayed for death now celebrates life. And I truly mean it when I say the greatest gift God has given me is my spiritual parents “Bro Andrew Richard and Sis Hannah Richard”. Their prayers, their guidance, and their love pulled us through the darkest seasons of our lives.

All glory to Jesus, who came to give life, and life in abundance. Hallelujah.
