thru a hostel friend.

Unworthy, yet chosen!!
Praise the Lord, everyone.
I am S....., from a Gentile family (a Hindu Brahmin background).
In my family, my mother came to know God. But because of a reverential fear of my father, she was never deeply rooted in Him after marriage. During her marriage, she told my father, “Please don’t force me to do pooja or idol worship,” and he agreed.
After marriage, up until my intermediate studies, he allowed us to go to church. But later, he became afraid thinking I might not get marriage proposals because we are Hindus, and worrying about society and caste. These thoughts filled his mind.
During that time, I was only a namesake Christian. I believed because of my mother, but I didn’t truly know God personally.

Through a friend in Hostel!!
But when I came to Hyderabad in 2021 for my B.Tech, at the end of my first year, through a friend in my hostel, I truly came to know God. I encountered Him personally.
I experienced a love that I had never found anywhere not even from my own parents. I understand they were busy with responsibilities, but my heart was desperate for love. In that moment, God spoke to me. I praise Him because He never allowed me to go searching for love in the world.
He changed my lifestyle completely. I can say it was one of the biggest breakthroughs in my life.
Later, I took salvation in 2022 and was baptized in 2023..without my father knowing. Even now, he doesn’t know about it.
Whenever we talk on video calls, my father still asks me, “Where is your bindi?” If I go home, he does not allow me to go to church.
At the same time, there is no idol worship in my house because my mother stood firm during her marriage. And sometimes, my father prays to God especially when he is sick or in need. But once he receives what he wants, he goes back to normal life. Still, I believe there is a small seed of faith in his heart, and for that, I praise God.
I truly believe there is a purpose in why God lifted me up. One day, through me, God will bring change in my family. Until then, I need to stay strong in Him and continue praying for my spiritual growth that's what I want to share with you all.
We should not come to God because of someone.
Come to Him personally. Taste and see that the Lord is good, just as it is written in the Scriptures.

Through mother, friend and warden:

 My name is M... I come from a Hindu background and I am the third child in my family. After I was born, my mother suffered greatly from demonic possession. My family tried many different things to help her, but nothing worked. One day, she went to a church, and from that moment on, she was healed. She began to believe in God and started following Jesus Christ. I was studying at a government school in my village, but I wasn't attending classes properly. I used to wander around with my friends instead. One day, my father caught me. Following that, he joined me in a hostel. When I was going to the hostel, my mother given me a her Bible. When I was in the ninth grade, my friend Nagaraju asked me, "Hey, have you read this Bible?" I told him I hadn't. He asked me to read Exodus chapter 20. I started reading it. Since I grew up in a Hindu background and visited temples, a question always in my mind: "Why doesn't God(idol) eat the food (Prasadam) offered before him?...

TP Marriage story

  Testimony of God’s mircale in the life of T I am T,born and brought up in a Hindu family.I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal saviour in my school days and took baptism and never missed a single sunday service.Parents started looking for Hindu profiles for my marriage. I told my parents about the love of Jesus and my wish to get married to a believer. My parents did not agree and emotionally threatened me. Seeing that I couldn't convince them,I took an on-site assignment and left to US. To my surprise, God brought in a believer profile which satisfied all the conditions my parents were particular about. Jesus is such a wonder working God. .....I could not convince my parents when I was next to them but God convinced them when I was 1000 of miles away from them.... *He sent an angel in the form of my Uncle (non believer) who spoke between the families and made the marriage arrangements. *My husband and his parents agreed for the wedding just by seeing me on Skype. *My Dad ...
