TESTIMONY

A Child Saw God’s World

The Testimony of a Grateful Grandmother · Georgia

When our granddaughter was only two months old, doctors diagnosed congenital glaucoma accompanied by loss of sight.

Together with our relatives, we first decided to have the child baptised and entrust her life to the Lord.

We frequently travelled to Samtavro Monastery, prayed at the resting place of Saint Gabriel Urgebadze, and asked for his prayerful intercession.

In time, the girl’s condition began to improve.

Today, she can see well.

For our entire family, this became a great reason to glorify the Lord.

“Glory to the Lord for His endless love and mercy!”

Glory to God for all things!

From the testimony of a grateful grandmother.
