 I was born and brought up in an orthodox Hindu (Nair) family.My father was a merchant and he had a provision store in the Palakkad Big bazaar.My mother was a pious lady and was takIng care of us at home raising according to our traditional religious way. in a religious way.Since from my childhood I had an opportunity to learn the most important books of our religion.I had 2 sisters and 1 brother.
     

        
When I was serving the Government of Karnataka State,the Lord touched my life in a marvelous way I got a telegramme and I had to go back to my home town Palakkad so that My fathEr was very serious and was admitted in a hospital.I took 15 days leave from our department  and reached home to see my father.But after a surgery he passed away.This made me so sad.Apart from this,I had to face some money lenders from whom my father had borrowed loans for the developments of the shop.This broght me unhappiness and I completely lost my peace of mind.I was too unable to manage these situations.Finally I left my home and traveled to several temples such as Guruvayoor , Chottanikkara,  Pazhanimala ,Chennimala,Maruthamala etcIn order to seek real peace of mind and a  solution for my problems.I took fasting and visitedThose temples and prayed there before the god and goddessesto get their help in that trouble time.I climbed thousands of stone steps and walked 27 Kilometres to reach chennimalai from Erode.But all those gods and goddesses did not answered me in the time of my troubles.With much disappointment,I returned o my home and decided to commit suicide.That time no one was at home,I committed suicide by electrocuting myself.But the Lord's hands pulled me and saved my life.But at that moment,I could not realize that this was the miracle of Jesus,whom once I contempted and denied.          
         
 The Lord sent a Lord's servant that evening,he shared the gospel of Jesus Christ with me.But I neglected,rebuked and sent him out of my home. But he did not say a word to me but he prayed for me with tears.Even though I saw it I did not show any mercy on him. But that night I could not sleep well.I rolled on my bed several times. The events which took place in the day was began to screening before my eyes.It may happened after the mid- night, the Lord appear-ed before me in a vision and asked my this question" how long will you delay to accept me?"and He again spoke with me,"If you follow me I will give the peace and deliverance which one you had been seeking for,I am the living God."When the vision was completed,I woke upon my bed and the eyes were filled with tears and it began to roll on my both cheeks.I could not control myself the Holy spirit was really touching my heart and it began to melting.I didnot know how to pray.But I knew one thing that I was a sinner and my sins must be washed away.I cried to Jesus with a painful heart.Then slowly I could realize that there was a hand which was touching on my head.I confessed all of my sins,and begged for His pardon.After this prayer,there was a great peace and happiness were covered in my heart.I could feel I became a new creature in Christ Jesus Praise the Lord!            After some days,the Lord gave me a vision of the perishing souls,and resigned from  my  Government  Job,went to a Bible College,But once I went to my home.When my family members Knew the news of my new faith in Jesus,they could not tolerate with it and did not permit me to step into my home.They rejected me and when my old and widowed mother spoke in favor of me they demanded us to leave the house immediately.That evening of 1983,I took my mothers shivering hands and looking on the face of Jesus,left that home where I was born and brought up forever.The heaven was over us and the earth was under our feet,we left home by  faith.I got married,on the 10th day My mother also died.My brother and sisters,relatives forgot us.But the Lord is still our refuge.We have been serving the Lord in Karnataka since 1990.My daughter Phebe is studying GNM at Davangere and my son Boaz is doing his B.Th at Nagpur MITS..We are praying to God for an own home for all of us.Since 1982 I have been living in rented houses.Kindly pray for this need..Thank you for taking time to complete this testimony                                                                                                                  Pastor.Paul.M.Nair  Mission India,House No.1435,Nr.Old water tank,Kirloskar Housing Board colony,J.C.Extn.Harihar-577 601,Karnataka state.India.  Cell:+91 94813 29978
