"Saved my life" - J.Edwin Samraj, Sarayu Softech Pvt. Ltd.
"He loved me when I am a sinner… And saved my life…." - C. Shanthi, MCA III Semester
"During my stay in college for 4 years I would have attended a church service, maybe 15 – 20 times. I was a Christian by name.

It was at the end of 1999, a little after I had finished my degree, that I had to undergo 4 brain surgeries due to a tumor. Even during this period, I was not close to God and even though I prayed for my healing, I did not give up my old ways. During my last surgery in 2000 (which was a major one), I had some problems when I came out of anesthesia that affected me a lot. After this I made a decision to completely follow the Lord Jesus and get close to him.

I thank the Father that he was so interested in me that he put this tumor in my head, to bring me to him (which caused no problems during my time of study). I also thank him that he did not give up hope in me when even after 3 surgeries I did not make a decision to give my life to Him. The miracle is that even after 4 surgeries, I have no side effects from them. This tumor was just a wake up call for me. 4 calls in fact.

Thanks be to Him as, because of this problem of mine, my whole family is closer to God.

Praise the Lord." - Kenneth Jonathan, C.P.D.E., Anna University

"My name is Robin Samuel S. I was born in a Christian family. Since brought up in a family with good Christian background, I was from my young days taught to pray and read the Bible. But my personal relationship started with God during my 10th. I got saved when one of my schoolteachers one day lead us into a prayer of repentance. I invited God into my life. I still remember her words “For some of you, life hereafter will be changed”. Ya! My life was changed after that day.

Then after entering college, during my second year, I started to get addicted to certain things and started to give priority to them above God. My Quiet time with God started getting reduced… I slowly without realizing started to move away from God. But he still loved me though I was moving away from him and met me in a camp “U-Turn” (name)… That day, I again committed my life to him 100%... I would say that as the best decision that I made in my college life…" - Robin Samuel S, B.E. (CSE) 7th semester
"Jesus came in search of me when I was living a wretched life. During my 10th standard I quarreled with almost everyone in my family, I lost everything which I thought was my strength in this world, I had no peace , I felt there was no one in this world who could feel my heartbeat, understand my feelings. I started hating myself; I started wounding myself by either slapping on my own cheeks or hitting my head against the wall. Finally I said to myself Enough is enough.. I ‘m not going to continue with this. I decided to commit suicide……….But the Almighty Savior came near me stopped me and called me by saying“ My Love, My fair one….Rise up and come away” (Songs of Solomon 2:10). There He showed his unconditional, never failing love to me. I got a solution to all my above said problems. Now He’s my Guide, my Shepherd, my controller…He’s my everything. Every breath I take, I take it for Jesus, Every step I take, I take it for Jesus and Jesus alone." - A. Aquila Jones, Infosys Technologies Ltd.
" By birth i am purely a Hindu, but now i am one of the strong believer of My God Jesus! I had interest in Christianity in the early of the school days itself !! I don't know how i got that kind of fascination !!

When i joined in CEG , i pleased a lot on hearing that some of the blessed students like Robin Samuel joined together and conducting prayer cell in the hostel .. I interestedly joined that cell and started to regularly. Sometimes i had felt that going to prayer cell is not an important one, but something in my body or in soul has never accepted this ! I thought that if i am not going to cell , i am losing something necessary for my life.

Though i am a great sinner in last few years He accepted me as his child . that why i am not doing so much of sins nowadays. I strongly believe that his presence is with me and that can convert me into a great person if the same state of mind persists .

I have prayed to my God for the placement in Core company . Though i have attended many software companies, i haven't been short listed at all (thank God for not placing in those companies as i have no interest in going to them.) But finally i got placed in a core company as i wished that too in the first attempt itself! This is the success i got purely by him.

Really i enjoyed this success as a bridge that connects me with God. He has accepted me as his son. Really i feel so glad of his presence.

So if possible please pray for my friends to do the same in their life also. This is the great miracle happened in my life !!!" - Gopi V, B.E. Mechanical

"My mother, who came to know about Christ through a prayer cell during her college days, introduced Him to me also. She sew the seeds of faith in Christ in my heart by telling me stories and parables from the Bible right when I was a kid and I'm indeed thankful to her for this.

Still I was in my worldly ways all through my school days. But as i got into a college for UG, God revealed the importance of leaning upon him for everything in our life. Even after learning that lesson I was least bothered about acting according to his will.

Then after getting into Anna University for PG, through my cousin sister Aruna Devi who is a secret believer of our Savior, He also taught me the necessity of doing God's will. It was only after that I surrendered myself to Christ. And after that through our prayer-cell mates he has taught me several lessons. Thanks to our Loving, Almighty Savior who persistently sought me, even when I didn't seek him." -Raja Rajan, R. S., M. E, Cognizant Technology Solutions

"By birth, I'm a Christian. I've been regular to church ever since my childhood and have family prayers everyday. But, I had taken for granted, the pleasures and blessings I enjoyed. I studied in Hindu schools and I was a lone Christian in my class and I never participated in the students fellowship activities. Only before I joined my post-graduation did I realize that my deeds should speak (not my name) that I'm a Christian. I felt Jesus knocking at my heart's door and I invited Him in as my Lord and Savior.

It was a slow but sure transformation. My family, friends and I could see how things which seemed impossible and unreachable became just possible - a reality! It was not just me standing tall in spite of every adversity, but God holding me firm. Every difficulty was a blessing in disguise. Proverbs 3:5-6 spoke to me and I surrendered my life to God. No matter how late I have dedicated to God's persistent call, I firmly believe that my life should reflect God's majesty. Today, I'm glad that God did accept me, with all the defects and imperfections he finds in me, for the extension of His Kingdom.

"Crucified, laid behind a stone,
You lived to die rejected and alone,
Like a rose trampled on the ground,
You took the fall and thought of me - ABOVE ALL!"

Yes! He thought of me - above ALL.

To God be the Glory! " - Annie Thomas, M.E. (CSE) Batch:2003-2005
" This had been the right time and the right opportunity for me to share my testimony. I am so very glad to tell you all that I am placed in CTS (Cognizant Technology Solutions). It had been completely the work of God. I know that I have no capability to be placed in such a great Organization. To look back at the status my Family was and to see the Lord's Hand pulling us up and placing up on the Highest Mountain, it is purely God's Grace. Right from my First Encounter with God, He had been talking to me through Prophecies. I must tell one such Promise which is found in I Corinthians 2:9 -

"No Eye Has Seen,
No Ear Has Heard,
No Mind Has Conceived What God Has Prepared For Those Who Love Him"

He had kept His Great Promise to me. Yes right from my 12th Std, He had been working in a way cmpletely not understandable by me, But the very best way for me. In my 12th, I had my mind set on Medicine, But God took me to Madras Christian College, Chennai-54 to do my Graduation and Post Graduation in Physics, which had been the place which I never want to forget in my life, because it is that place where I found my God. Each day I spent there had been, one step closer to my Father in Heaven. After my Post Graduation, my ideas were to finish my Doctorate. But again God had completely different plan, which I had never conceived it in my Heart. Yes He brought me to Anna University. I had completely no expectations for a Prayer Cell or a fellowship with the Born Again Christians. But God had already planted His Root into Anna University, where I was able to meet very young, but extraordinarily zealous people for the Lord.

I was awe-struck by the determination and knowledge of Christ in even the 'Born Agains' from a Non-Christian background. This had absolutely helped me in firing up myself for the Lord. Not just to stop here, even after getting into Anna, I had a determination to continue in my field itself, to enter into some R&D Centers like ISRO, DRDO etc., and right from the beginning, I had a strong aversion towards Computers. But now I cannot escape it. And I know that God had always done the best for Me and He will help me to survive in CTS too.

God had been so gracious to me, not because I am good or He likes me alone. But it had been completely His Choice of loving me. I could even tell that You would not even talk with me or move along with me, if you know that 'Past Radhika' .God had been kind and loving enough to pick me up, wash me by His Blood and clean all my filth, took me as His Signet Ring and had placed me on top of the Mountain, where my feet shall not stumble.

There are lots and lots of Promises He had made me for my Personal Life. I am waiting for the Lord to work things at the right time. Till then I will, wait for Him, with all My Hopes and all My Love, Because He is the never changing God! " - Radhika, M.Tech (LASER)

"Though I was born in a Roman Catholic family, I lived just as a nominal Christian..attending church masses on Sundays, which I thought was worship. Only when I entered college, I felt that God had chosen me as his daughter and given me that wonderful privilege of calling him Abba - Father.

Our Creator God touched me personally, thro’ the prayer cell at Anna university girls hostel which my seniors had started along with some of my friends in my first year of college. There in prayer cell, we felt as children of God, as daughters of the same family.. and regularly prayed despite denial of permission from our hostel authorities.

Lord gradually took me to his kingdom and in my third year, I accepted Jesus as my personal saviour and then on, I feel my Lord’s presence leading me in my everyday life..Praise to be to Lord for he is a Guiding star for those who place hope in him now and forever......”
