I was raised in a Christian family, but did not come to a personal knowledge of Christ until later in life. I was convicted of my sins and confessed. From that moment on, the Holy Spirit entered into me and guides me in the service of the Lord.
My wife (before we were married) was in the hospital and in a coma for several days when I saw and recognized her as a former classmate at the University. I began praying with her family for her condition. One day while I was praying for her, she came out of her coma. Her parents confessed their sins and accepted Jesus as Savior that very minute. Later when she recovered, she and her parents went to the church where I was a pastor and after the service, she accepted Christ as her Savior.
With the grace of God, I slowly started a small congregation where I am working sincerely and humbly. I have a University education and could get a good job, but I had no peace of mind in it. Now, I have become helpless, my family needs food and clothing for which I have to depend on my congregation which is poor. The help that they give is barely sufficient to meet my needs.
I work full-time in the ministry and have started three churches, trained two men for the ministry and led 190 people to Christ. My family lives simply in a bamboo hut. We eat rice and fruits. I pray the Lord will provide a sponsor for me and bless me to get some support or help to meet the expenses like traveling, purchasing tracts, and my family's maintenance.

What is a sponsorship? | |
To earn money for my family, I traveled to the city to buy onions, and then returned to sell them in my village. I must travel by bicycle because the bus fare is too costly. One day in the city I was selling onions and a Christian family made me sit. They gave me buttermilk and snacks, then the elderly lady told me about Jesus and His salvation. I asked for a New Testament and I read it completely. I understood how and why Jesus came into this world and wanted to trust in Him. Then she sent me to her pastor. I was ashamed of having worshipped idols of stone and metal and wood but I believed in Jesus.
