What a privilege it is to make a decision to follow Christ! In a highly religious country like India, it is not easy for someone to make a strong decision to follow Christ. People here like what Jesus did. In a way, I would say they are OK with being His fans. But actually following Christ seems to be a challenge. I was born and brought up as a devoted Hindu girl until I was 11 years old, when I had the opportunity to study in a Christian school. I liked Jesus and had no problem accepting Him as one of the gods, but I did not truly follow Him until later. I grew up as a fatherless girl, and my dream was to earn a lot of money and make my mom happy. But God had totally different plans. Jesus walked into my life as a loving Father. He gave me the privilege of studying engineering at a top college in my city. While my mind was all about earning money, He gently called me to follow Him. This one decision turned my life upside down. I became a pastor, and I have become a channel of His blessing, a fisher of men and women for His Kingdom! Each of us has the choice: will we follow Christ, or will we just be His fan?/span>

Haggai Testimony
The Haggai Leader Experience has made me think outside of the box. Writing has been my passion from childhood. I always thanked God for this talent. After the HLE, I realized and understood that writing is a grace and a powerful tool for ministry, and I have been writing every day for the past eight years.
