‘My greatest ambition was to know God I always believed in and to be close to Him. I wished to have real one rather than deceiving myself by following any belief. I met the way, the truth and the life through Bible that is God's Word and was committed to Him. Now I have the real relation of father-son with living God and I am in peace.'
