During these struggling days, He observed that his Mom used to come early in the morning, kneel at his bed-side and pray daily for the work of the Holy Spirit in him. As this continued, he encountered a flyer in 1988. This flyer consists of the 365 Biblical Verses stating “Fear Not for Every Day” caught his attention. He was planning to discard it, but eventually ended up reading it. This changed his life completely as The Lord Jesus touched his heart and there was a complete change in his life.
