I was born in a orthodox Meitei Hindu family in Thokchom village of Thoubal district in Manipur, India.We live in a remote place where the village is on the way towards Myanmar national highway road.My father is a farmer,mother is house wife and we have three brothers;I am the eldest son.We worshiped all Hindu gods.And we all brothers follow to our parents that what ever they do we also practiced.We don't have the true knowledge of God and no peace at all.Life was difficult to live as well no happiness with the society. Besides,challenges to live as we are under poverty.In those days we don't have anybody who can help us and give direction for a better life.We don't have any dreams of life for a good future.I don't have any hope in my life in those days.I struggle lot and confused about my life.
And being born as handicapped I am always discourage to live as a men.Above 18th years I was very upset.But God has a wonderful plan for my life to come on this earth.It' so amazing for my life.In the year 1999 God send His servant pastor Lanjen Sarangthem to preach out the gospel in my village.He visited house to house to share the gospel in my village.All of them not open their heart to receive the gospel.But,he did not feel bad,rather he focused and continue to preach out the gospel in the village.He fully spent his time in the ministry to win the lost souls.
One day in the evening he met me with the gospel and it was above one hour to share the gospel in my life.By hearing the gospel I accepted Jesus as my personal Lord and saviour.I believe through Christ's blood sins are forgiven,salvation is found, reconcile to God and no other way to go heaven except Christ.I confessed my life in the hand of God with a prayer leaded by pastor Lanjen.And started to attend Sunday service regularly,joined weekly Bible study groups and read Bible at home as I spent more time to read the Bible.We din't have church at that time and go to another village for the Sunday services.I decided to follow Jesus in my whole life till the last breath.I was baptize in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit on Sunday at 11:15am,30th April 2000 in RNBA Centre Church,Tarung village by Rev.N.Debendra Singh.In the same year I went to GBC and Seminary,Gurgaon Haryana;completed the study by God's grace in march 2003.Since 2003 april I am in the fulltime ministry with my further Biblical studies.I am married and has two daughter.Presently,my family serve the Lord in Imphal and in the north eastern regions of our nation India.Though we face lots of challenges in our ministry;we all overcome by faith as God's leading hand is upon us.
We ask more of your advices and suggestions for the better ministry in the near future.Also,need more of your prayers for our ministry;without your prayer support we may be weak in the ministry.So, constantly pray for us.
In Him,
Rev.Dr.Hemanta Yambem.
