                      Old Life

​

 I come from a Hindu background, and my cast is Rajput Raghuvanshi.  I am the only believer who is serving the LORD among my parental family. I have four brothers and one sister, and very good parents. I have been rejected by my own family because I accepted  Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Since  I was Hindu before accepting Christ in my life, I was filled with Hindu rituals and practices. I used to fast and visit different Hindu gods’ or goddesses’ temples for peace in my life, but I did not find or feel any peace in being a Hindu.   Actually I wanted to know the true GOD, but I did not find any one from Hindu gods or goddesses. I did not find holiness in their character. I was in that situation when Rajesh Jaiswal came to me with the "Good News" in the Gospel. He shared about Jesus and about His love and sacrifice and invited me for a Christmas celebration. I went there and heard that I am the temple of GOD, and His spirit dwells in me according to 1 Cor 3:16. I was shocked by hearing this, and decided to know more about Jesus and the Holy Bible.                                                                                      

    My Christian Life Or NEW LIFE 

                         

As soon as I came to know that I am a temple of GOD,and HE dwells in me,I just renounced all my pagan practices and Hindu rituals, which I often used to do to try and find peace and the true GOD. I started to read the word of GOD and to go Sunday service regularly. Then slowly I came to know the truth of God by reading and meditating upon

Psalms 115, Romans 2 :1-6 and Romans 10:9-11. I decided to be water baptized in 2005. Since then,  I have been living as a born again Christian, living a life of  obedience to God's word, seeking His Will, and serving and loving others and with great peace.  

                 

      My Calling for the Ministry

 

While attending church service regularly,I met some adult brothers who were very well versed in the Words of GOD. I was shocked how effective they were in giving witness to God's Words upon hearing them speak. One thought came in my heart: that I will also enroll Biblical study. At that time, I was about to complete my B.A. degree. After my graduation, I enrolled for Biblical study. The Lord heard me , and sent me to the Grace Bible College in Haryana in 2009. I studied the words of God three years. During my study time, the college would send me for evangelical ministry, and after completing my B.Th degree, I was selected and served faithfully as a bible teacher and warden for the compass students. After my B. Th. degree, I began my independent ministry and got married. I am now and have been in the service of my Lord GOD, and I and my family are so happy to serve HIM!                                                            Please pray for us and our ministry! Thank you!
