A Blessing for the Family and the Community

(In the words of Rachel amma)

My name is Rachel amma. I’m from Pedda Uyyalawada village in Prakasam district. My husband is the pastor of Covenant church in the village. Being in ministry, we do not have any sources of income and depend on the church, but it is never enough to run the family. Over time, we had run into a lot of debt, which was a cause of worry for my husband and me. I believe that God is Jehovah Jireh, our Provider and always prayed for a breakthrough regarding our finances. One day, we came to know of CBC and knew this was the answer to our prayers. I immediately applied. By the grace of God CBC approved for a loan to be given to me.

After I knew that I would receive the loan, I planned for the proper usage of the money. In the village, we do not have a grocery store since it is a very remote place. I planned to start a grocery store in the village. It is wonderful how God is providing for my family, but also providing for the village.

Today, I’m earning a good income of Rs. 300 a day from the business, which mounts to a monthly income of Rs. 9,000. I have been able to raise the financial standard of the family now. We are also able to pay off the debts that were a huge burden to the family. Many new people come to my shop and I see it as a great opportunity to introduce them to Jesus. I thank God for blessing us through CBC, because of which my family is less burdened now and we were able to even get my daughter married. I am very grateful to CBC for giving us the opportunity to work ourselves out of our problems.
