Born in a Hindu family from India. Been raised in India, from a young age I was taught different hindu prayers, respecting elders, obedient to visiting temples.
My Grandfather was a Heart patient. In the year when i turned 17, he got critically ill. As I was a Hindu, I seeked refuge in the temple. I began to pray and weep, I desperately wanted my Grandfather to become well. Unfortunately he passed away and from that day onwards bitterness in my heart grew towards God. An alarming question about Gods existence, the pain was deep and severe.
When my mom decided to uproot us and move to the UK and leave friends back home, in my heart conversion to an atheist took place. I understood that for us it was benificial to move to the UK and that my mom has sacrificed her life for me to give us a new hope and fresh start.
Living in the UK, I embraced the culture I was being exposed to at the age of 17. In my heart I believed circumstances occurred in our lives irrespectively (good or bad) and we have to adjust with them. Hence pride, selfishness and short tempered towards my own family members started rooting in me.
Then at my University I found a great friend, we shared a lovely time together. When I came to know she is sick with a heart condition. In my heart I was deeply concerned. I did not know how to help her. I did not know who to go to. I saw her in pain with swollen legs coming to University. It was distressing for me. She missed some lectures due to her sickness. However after some time she came back and I didn’t see any swelling in her legs. She seemed good in health. She told me she got healed by Jesus.
I have never heard of people getting healed by prayers before. I couldn’t deny the physical transformation in her.After some time she visited my house and asked if she could pray for me. God spoke to my heart that day and convicted me of his presence.That night all my bitterness for God went away.
I thank prayer team at Good Shepherd Jesus Christ Church, Pastor Raja and Benitta sister who led me into salvation through the teaching and word of God. In Bible it is written in Romans 5:8 « But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us » This scripture instantly pierced my heart.
I am a Christian from an Atheist. Now I am ministering others to receive salvation.
