My name is Christopher Correya.

I had a close encounter with the Lord in the

year 1977-1978.But after two years the fire died down and I went back into the
ways of the world. I began to commit sin I never dreamt of before. It was then
that I got married and we now have two children.

My wife and myself were partners of a successful restaurant called ‘ Continental

Restaurant ‘ situated on residency road. We lived a comfortable life, spent
lavishly and had every thing we needed. Money was never a problem for us for
we had plenty of it. We lived for ourselves to enjoy life to the fullest. Life had so
many wonderful things in store for us, but we never knew that Jesus had
something more exciting and better for us. Jesus wanted to use us in his
vineyard to gather the lost souls and to bring them back to him. We of course did
not know him, nether did we love him and we did not want him in our lives. Life
was beautiful (we thought so) and we intended it to stay that way. What we did
not know was that without Jesus the entry to temptation and sin becomes easy
and that’s what happened to us.

My wife influenced by a friend opened her life to occult practices. her father had
passed away suddenly in an accident and this friend told her she could speak to
her father through the ouija board and find out exactly what happened.
Influenced by all these wrong conceptions and being so far away from the Lord,
she and her younger sister Sharon (a member of the Power Ministry team) were
easy targets.

They began to indulge in the ouija board and what started as a game soon
became an addition. They together with a few other family members indulged in
this everyday until one day their brother lost his temper and tore up this board.
This practice stopped, but it was too late. My wife had opened the door to sin and
now she was trapped in it. Things started to go wrong after this. My wife became
restless, she was miserable and no one could do anything to help her. I knew
something terrible was wrong, but I was helpless. There were times when she
wanted to end her life, but I believe God had His eyes on her and through me he
prevented this from happening. I think those were the most miserable moments
of my life. I was desperate and I just did not know how to handle this entire
situation. It was then I decided to take my family for a holiday thinking that a
change of scene would help. It was then that God heard my silent cry and
intervened.
As we were standing outside the hotel one afternoon, we noticed a lady looking
at us from a distance. She kept looking at us for sometime and then she
approached us. she told us that se never spoke to anyone unless she knew
them, but that afternoon she was inspired by the Holy Spirit to tell us what Jesus
had done for her. We listened patiently only because we did not want to be rude
to her. She said God had saved her from a serious road accident and she is a
living testimony of Gods love and mercy. She asked us to go to a brother who
would pray for us and help us. I took my wife because that was my only hope. My
wife went not because she was touched by that lady’s testimony or because she
believed in Jesus, but because she knew she needed help.

Early the next morning we went to see this brother. As that brother prayed for us
as a family he said, one of us suffered from severe abdominal pain. My wife was
suffering from this pain for the last four-five years, and no amount of medicine
helped. As he prayed over her I was shocked at what I saw and heard. My wife
was spinning like a top and she could not control her movements and she spoke
in a male’s voice. He removed eight to ten spirits that day and each spoke giving
its name and the reason why it had come. I had never seen a deleverance take
place before and I was shocked. I could not believe my wife was tormented by
the powers of darkness and that was the reason why she was in such a
miserable state. What I will never forget is the look of torment in her eyes, I
knew that she was terrified, frightened and totally helpless. As I watched I
realized the importance of Jesus in our lives and how much we need to depend
on Him. At the end of the day this brother who was praying for my wife asked me
to take my wife home as she had become very weak and could not go on with
the deleverance, and to bring her the next day so that the deleverance could be
completed. He also advised her to read the Word of God which would
strengthen her.

That night my wife was terrified and scared. She sat up all night and asked me
to read the Bible together with her. I did it because I love my wife and I wanted
her back to normal. I remember how she cried to Jesus for help and how I cried
within myself for her.

The next morning before going to this brother, for the first time in her life my wife
knelt down and cried out to Jesus loud. She screamed “God, Help me! Please
help me Lord”, a cry of desperation, agony and pain along with fear, I knew God
whould not close His ears to that cry so I took my wife and went, thinking that it
was going to be the same as the previous day, but I was in for a big surprise. As
this brother prayed for my wife she was not swaying but knelt straight, with tears
rolling down her cheeks. I knew then that she had been delivered yes set free,
God had taken her out of darkness into His marvelous light.

My wife then received the anointing of the Holy Spirit and decided it was going to
be Jesus all the way. Yes! We both made up our minds that day that we would
live for Jesus and Jesus alone. We came back home determined to change our
lives and to make every effort to draw close to Jesus. Our initial walk with Jesus
was tough, there were moments of pain, anciousness etc but we clung on to our
Saviour. The desire in my heart to reach out to people who oppressed was sown
the day I witnessed my wife’s deleverance, and as the days went by this desire
began to grow, I fasted and prayed for a whole year asking God to fulfill the
desire in my heart and finally God heard my prayer and the birth of this Ministry
took place.

Initially this Ministry was started in my residence where God began to send many
people for prayer, healing and delverance began to take place. Later due to the
increase in numbers it was decided to open the ministry to a larger gathering, so
It was opened in a parish hall (Holy Ghost Parish) where there was a weekly
attendance of about 200 (two hundred) people. The Ministry was later shifted of
a convent chapel (Ursuline Convent) where the numbers increased further and
there was a weekly gathering of about 250 to 300 people. The testimonies will
show you how God worked in all their lives.

The Power Ministries (India) is now a registered Trust and is engaged in

conducting retreats in Schools, Colleges, Parishes and for youth groups. We
