Give your testimony or life story using only one word. Loved!

I came to England last year from Kerala, India, to work as a staff nurse at Sheffield Teaching Hospital. Previously we were members of Vazhuthacaud Corps in the Thiruvananthapuram Division, in the India South Western Territory.

I was born and brought up in a Salvation Army family. My mother’s parents were officers. During my childhood I was an active participant in Sunday school. I was able to experience God’s love and goodness a lot throughout my childhood.

Later, God gave me the opportunity to marry a man who was an active member of the Army. My husband, Binoy, worked as the corps secretary and later as the corps sergeant-major in our church. He

Besides that, God has given me and my family the opportunity to worship with the people at The Salvation Army near where we live. So far in our lives, we have been able to experience God’s loving touch in many troubles.

I continue to pray that our family grows spiritually and for our lives ahead to be productive.
