TESTIMONY

When Hope Remained Only in God

The Story of Nanuli Bandzeladze · Rustavi, Georgia

After surgery for a malignant illness, doctors discovered serious complications.

Subsequent examinations indicated severe damage to my spine.

For several months, I was confined to bed.

Continuing treatment required large sums of money that our family did not have.

We then decided to entrust our lives completely to the Lord.

We turned to Him in prayer, asking for help through the prayers of Saint Gabriel Urgebadze, and reverently used oil from his resting place.

In time, my condition began to improve.

Gradually, I was able to stand again and return to my usual life, caring for my family.

What I experienced became a great testimony to God’s mercy and a strengthening of faith.

“Give thanks to the Lord in all things, for His mercy endures forever.”

Glory to God for all things!

From the testimony of Nanuli Bandzeladze. Rustavi.
