I am a native of Venkatapuram. Our heritage is Hindus. My father and mother supported me while I was growing up and I did well in school and in college. In my final year of college, I became very sick. For 10 days I was on the sick bed. This was just before exams, so I could see all my hopes disappearing. At this juncture, a man with a Bible came and comforted me not to lose courage but to have faith in the Lord. I prayed to Jesus even though I didn't know him. No sooner did the pastor leave than I was freed from the disease. The same day the doctor came and examined me. He was astonished and told me that I was ok. Within two days I completely regained my health and I took my exams and finished first in my college class!
