Jesus Feeds Disabled Pastor<\/strong>
\n \n<\/p>\n

Born without the use of his hands or legs, Vemunuri Sunil Kumar was fed by Jesus and angels when he had a vision whilst depressed after refusing to eat.<\/h4>\n

Relying on his elderly parents to feed him, Sunil has always been totally reliant on other people\u2019s help and because of his disability was unable to attend
\nschool leaving him to be home schooled by his parents and siblings.<\/p>\n

Growing up in RTC Colony, L.B Nagar, Hyderabad, his interest in Jesus also grew whilst attending his local church and at the young age of 18 in 2010, he
\nachieved his ambition and became a pastor.<\/p>\n

Doubts in his faith, a year later, would creep in when whispering voices started to fill his head, telling him there was no God but was mocked by his then
\nPastor Vijaya and his community when he told them.<\/p>\n

Sunil was disturbed by the voices and became deeply discouraged when both his Pastor and church Community accused him of being devil possessed and when
\nprayer didn\u2019t seem to help him, it only confirmed that perhaps the voices were right.<\/p>\n

Feeling suicidal and believing the voices, Pastor Sunil decided he would starve himself to death as to him there was no point in living if there was no
\nGod. After a long spell without food, Sunil expected to die and didn\u2019t want to be a further burden to his elderly father Venkta Chary and mother Sulachana
\nwho were trying to force feed him.<\/p>\n

When the inevitable happened and Sunil became constipated and ill, his parents asked his siblings to take him to a doctor. Feeling desperate he prayed
\nfor his bowels to work and in a moment of re-finding God, an answer to prayer resulted in a call of nature that meant Sunil also needed to re-find the
\ntoilet.<\/p>\n

Later that night the voices returned and at midnight suddenly Pastor Sunil had a vision of Jesus above his room holding a bowl of rice and curd along with
\n39 angels and proceeded to feed him.<\/p>\n

When the bowl was empty, Jesus and the angels went leaving Sunil feeling satisfied and full. As he started to pray, having had his faith reignited once
\nmore, God made him understand that He would always meet his needs.<\/p>\n

After making a full recovery Pastor Sunil started to live a normal life once more, spending most of his time praying and fasting. Excitedly he called his
\nPastor to share his story about the vision but once again Pastor Vijaya mocked him claiming it was all part of his imagination. Sunil was upset once more
\nbut while on the phone had another vision from God only this time of Pastor Vijaya\u2019s house and that he could see him and tell him exactly what he was doing.<\/p>\n

Finally, Pastor Vijaya accepted that Sunil\u2019s story was true and visited him the following day, asking him to pray for him and his ministry which was greatly
\nencouraging as he spent more time with God.<\/p>\n

One day while praying, he heard God directing him to plant his own church and wasted no time holding a service every Tuesday at 3.30 in the afternoon.
\nWithin three month his church grew to 70 attendees making other local pastors jealous.<\/p>\n

They spread a nasty rumour that Sunil was a liar and was being controlled by the devil causing him to lose his congregation.  The impact was significant
\nand between 2012-2017 Pastor Sunil struggled to convince people that he was truly preaching God\u2019s word and not doing evil.<\/p>\n

Over the next two years of praying and hearing God\u2019s voice, Pastor Sunil waited for the right time to begin again and finally in 2019 Sunil began a new
\nChurch once more. His congregation have also been sharing Youtube recordings of his powerful ministry:<\/p>\n
