Bible Quiz winner turns prize into lifeline for needy families

Chilakaluripet – Andhra Pradesh: In an inspiring gesture of compassion, Jesus Fellowship member K Ratnakumari, who won the first cash prize in a Bible Quiz competition, donated her winnings to support several needy families in the town. Social worker Madasu Bhanu Prasad praised the act, calling it “a shining example of faith in action.”

Extending help to the needy

Using the prize money, Ratnakumari and her family provided essential commodities and rice sufficient for a month to several struggling families. Among the beneficiaries were Sheikh Nagur Sharif of Maddi Nagar, who lost speech and sensation in his right hand following a brain stroke, Achaiah’s family, battling health issues due to diabetes, and Mariyamma of Polireddy Palem, who is caring for two orphaned grandchildren while recovering from a fractured leg.

Guided by faith and service

Under the guidance of John Wesley and local pastor Prasanna Babu, member of the Jesus Fellowship group distributed 25 kilograms of rice and 20 essential items to each identified family. The distribution aimed to bring relief and restore hope among the most vulnerable sections of the community.

Message of love and compassion

Speaking on the occasion, Pastor Prasanna Babu said, “True faith is not measured by words, but by deeds of love. When we extend our hand to the needy, we reflect the heart of Christ.” He commended Ratnakumari for living out the message of Jesus through her generous and compassionate act.

Community participation and encouragement

The program was attended by Manohar, Kunchala Bhaskar, Vanaja, and other fellowship members, who appreciated Ratnakumari’s example and resolved to continue similar humanitarian efforts inspired by the teachings of Jesus.
