By God's Grace I was born again on April 4 ,2002 in a personal encounter with JesusChrist though Being born in a traditional and respectable Hindu family and brought up by good parents.I considered life not much in a serious way until I happened to hear the gospel for the first time while I was a high school student from my classmate who happen to be Christian and my best friend. It took years for the seed of gospel planted in my mind to take root and sprout and enabled me to come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

My personal encounter with Jesus began while I was pursuing my Graduation at College. Circumstances led me to start reading the Bible with an inquisitive mind, which continued exactly for a year. I felt a need for more communion with God. It was a prophetic utterance from a humble servant of God (who I came to meet through another christian friend, in a casual visit), which kindled the fire of faith in me. I recognized the words of the Lord who created me, who knew my past and present as well as the deepest anguish, which I was carrying in my burdened heart. I was convinced that Jesus is God and he was the answer I was looking for and as my purpose was being revealed for the first time since my birth.

I did not hesitate to accept Christ as my Lord and Saviour and took baptism on April 18, 2003. It was the beginning of a great friendship with my Lord and had its intensity on December 27, 2007 when I was filled by the Holy Spirit.I humbly submit my life to my Lord to lead a life in a manner worthy of the gospel, the proclamation of which I was called for.

God has given me a desire to be a witness for Him, and I consider it a privilege to glorify Him, in whatever way I can make myself available. God has blessed me with a godly wife and gave us a beautiful gift-a little one and as a family, we are in His service for His glory.
