I come from a traditional Hindu family where my father and mother were idol worshipers.  I followed along with them in these traditions until I was nineteen years old.  I came to know Jesus through my close friend when I visited his church in Jaggampeta, a small town near my village Talluru.  The pastor was praying for me when he touched my forehead and I feel into a deep sleep.  I was wakened by a bright light and found myself in my room at home.  I heard a melodious voice saying to me, "Oh! my son!  Wake up and come into light".  Once I became fully conscious the words I heard touched me deep in my soul.  The next day I went back to the same church and asked the pastor about my holy experience.  The pastor explained that the Lord had talked with me and called me into his work for our region.  I later went to study the Bible at the Rehma Bible College at Hyderabad.
