My childhood was very hard. I have four siblings and my parents worked hard to support us but they struggled to provide food, clothes, and education for us. I was born into a Hindu family. Before we knew Jesus, our family followed Hindu traditions. My eldest sister fell sick for a long time. We tried many remedies, but she did not recover. One day, an Indian pastor came to our village. He prayed for my sister, and she started to heal. After that, my mother took my sister to church. We were skeptical at first, but when we saw my sister recover, my mother believed in Jesus. I was about 10 years old when my family started going to church, while my father refused. He listened to the people in our village and rebuked us for going. As I grew up, I joined a children's fellowship and learned  and my faith grew. After seven years, my father also accepted Jesus!

 After high school, I wanted to study abroad, but didn’t have the means to. I felt sad and hopeless. One day I heard a sermon about Jacob and it touched my heart. I learned that the greatest blessings come from God, not from the things of this world. From that day, I became closer to Jesus and trusted Him with my future.

 Now a Developing Global Leader, I want to continue walking with the Lord and share His love with others. I believe that everything is possible with Jesus Christ. I want to help people of my generation know the Lord and understand His love.
