A Testimony: 07.03.06

From Gadi Veerababu (a former orphan child in Gogannamattam, India)

My dad was drunkard and always quarreled with my mom. There was no peace in my family. Since he was addicted to alcohol, he did not provide to my family. I never had a full meal when i was at home. Now and then I thought of escaping from my family.

I soon got the opportunity to join Charlie's Lunch Home in Gogannamattam. Now I enjoy breakfast, two meals a day. I am also being given clothes, school supplies etc..

My Dad, who saw Jesus through these good works of Jesus, gave his life to Him and accepted Him as his personal savior. Now he gave up alcohol, and my family lives in peace. Praise God.
