I spent a good portion of my life trying to figure out what life meant and answering why was I here. I grew-up Catholic during the powerful charismatic Holy Spirit movement that swept through our town in the mid seventies. I remember wanting to experience God, waiting for something to happen and desperately hoping that Jesus would show himself to me.
In my mid-twenties, while I tried to be like everyone else, pretending to “just want to have fun” but instead ignoring God & my faith, something very deep in me longed for something more. I read lots of books & sat with fortunetellers, but my heart still ached to know the truth.
One night, I turned to the back of my Bible where there was a concordance, and I marveled at how often the word “love” was listed. I scanned down all of the passages, and saw “God is love.” 1 John 4:16. Turning to it, the words resonated deeply in me as I knew I had found the Truth that I had been searching for so desperately.

This is my Love story with Jesus Christ. I was born in India and raised by a Hindu Family. It was not the world I expected. I was brought up with too many rules and regulations, and In India, they are ‘pride words’ that can destroy an entire family reputation with single word. But I was born in that country, so I respect it with my heart.

My Christian walk started early on in life. Since I was a child I was raised in a Christian household and followed the example of my mother, a devout Christian woman. Although I knew Christ and attended church regularly it wasn’t until age nine that I recited the sinner’s prayer and became a true Christian. Danny, a youth pastor in a Baptist church my family was attending at the time, played a major part in my decision. He was always handing out Christian pamphlets that showed a young cartoon man who lived his life with and without Christ.

I gave the following three prayers during the call to worship at my church this past Sunday. They’re themed around the Thanksgiving Holiday and Ephesians 1:1-10. As I stood up in front of everyone and invited them to join me in prayer and song, the Holy Spirit struck me with what an honor it is to lead other people in worshiping God. We’re going hand in hand with people into God’s presence.

On Thursday, October 21, 2010 4:11 PM I received a prayer request in my inbox for the kidnapped principal of a school in Juarez Mexico. The Mexican drug cartel picked him up off the street, and there was little hope he would make it out alive.
