Blessed From Birth
I was born into a Christian family. When I was a child, my parents taught me about God from the Bible. I was so blessed to have been born into a Christian family!
In my country, most people do not know God. Some years, I was the only Christian in my class in school.
I was truly blessed because I knew about God-but that did not make any difference, because I had not accepted Jesus as my personal Savior.
When I was a teenager at a retreat, I realized what Christ has done for me. Just being born to a Christian family does not save me-I needed to accept Jesus as my personal Savior. Right then, I received Jesus as my personal Savior!
Preparing my Heart
Our family is from the central part of the country. When I was a child, God called my parents to serve Him as missionaries in the North. There were no believers at all in those villages. Every single person was living in darkness. My dad regularly went to the unreached mountain villages to share the Gospel. Sometimes, I would go with my parents to the villages to evangelize. There, I saw how people were living in darkness. They were involved in demonic, evil practices and followed the caste system. To this day, there are hundreds of unreached villages near me in the North. God put it in my heart to give my life for His work. When I was in high school, I decided to dedicate my life to serving Him! In 2014, God opened a door for me to go to Calvary Chapel Bible College in California. After I graduated from the Bible College, I came back to my country and began to help my dad with his ministry in the North. He had started a Bible school where he trained new believers and then sent them back to their villages to share the Gospel and plant churches. I started helping in that work and teaching at the school.
Continuing the Work
Occasionally, I drive my motorcycle to the mission fields where our graduates have been serving the Lord in the mountains. I spend time with them, seeing what the Lord has been doing through them and encouraging them to stand firm in their faith and to continue sharing the Gospel. The Holy Spirit has been using these graduates to touch the lives of young people. More and more people are surrendering their lives to Jesus! Now, we have house fellowships in a few villages where once no one had even heard the name of Jesus! We have also taken the Pastors School students camping in the mission fields to do outreach ministry with our graduates. In the summer of 2017, my parents moved back to the central part of the country where they have started another Saving Grace Pastors School. I stayed in the North and have been continuing the work that God started here. Our vision is to train the local new believers and send them back to their villages and towns to share the Gospel and plant churches. I am also working with three local pastors who have already graduated from the Pastors School. They have started churches in their villages where once there were no believers at all! It’s such a joy to see the fruit of their labor and see new believers being added to their fellowships!
