I am married and my wife, Marthamma, and I have three children - two boys and the youngest is a girl. As a young man I did not know anything about Christ. I was a Hindu and I worshipped many idols. One day I met some Christians who were very nice to me and when I asked them about worshipping idols, they explained to me from the Bible that it was wrong. They showed me many verses that talked about idols and then they showed me verses about God and what he is like. At that moment I could do nothing else than to turn from my idols to serve the living God! It was the greatest day of my life.

Before I came to Christ, I did everything that God would not want me to do. But somehow he was willing to use a damaged vessel to serve him. Today I work as a church planter in 11 villages. We have Bible studies and there are about 20 - 25 people attending in each village. By God's grace, I have not suffered persecution like many of my brothers. My prayer is that God will continue to give me more opportunities to share the Gospel and study his word with new believers.
