I am a native of Venkatapuram. Our heritage is Hinduism. 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! One day I went to the market to buy food and saw this pastor. I went to his church where he led me to Christ and baptized me and began to teach me and train me for ministry. My wife came to Christ as a result of the pastor and some of the members showing Christian chairity to her family.
