I was born and brought up in Salem, a district in Tamil Nadu, India. My work was to brew alcohol illegally at home and to sell them. Because of my trade, I too became an alcoholic along with my friends. Since I had been getting intoxicated, problems started arising within my family. Further more, my entire village had this trade of brewing illegal alcohol. And because of all these stress my entire family decided to commit suicide, but God by His grace saved us through our neighbours. I had started to fail at everything I did.

After some time I went to Delhi for my brother-in-law's wedding and instantly felt connected to the city. Therefore, I shifted my entire family to Delhi. Even then there was no peace at home. Problems due to alcoholism and debt increased. Again I failed in my efforts. Again, on a certain day I had decided to commit suicide with my entire family when on that very day a person came to my house, who was a christian relative of mine. And after spending some time with him I had a thought to go to Church once before I end my life. I asked him to take me along with him to Church. That very same day (5.4.2002 friday evening at 7:00pm) I attended the Church for a prayer. Everyone who had gathered prayed for me. Following which I started to read the Bible and the Lord started speaking to me. I was delivered from alcoholism and debt. God filled me with peace and happiness. Through God's grace my entire family got saved. 

God helped my children to study well. He helped my both daughters to get married. Everyone along with my grandchildren are doing well in Chirst by His grace. I give all glory and honour unto His holy name. Amen.
