"THUS SAYS THE LORD,THE KING OF ISRAEL, AND HIS REDEEMER, THE LORD OF HOST:I AM THE FIRST AND THE LAST; BESIDE ME THERE IS NO GOD. (ISAIAH 44:6)

               I am Raj Nagi, a child of God and resident of the USA.  I used to live in Punjab, India from the Kshatriya family where it was my lifelong dream to come to America and live the millionaire’s life.  I lived a wild life of alcoholism and carelessness.  I was a devoted Hindu and who married a girl from the Brahman family.  I came to America in 1995 and began working in an Indian store in Atlanta, Georgia.  During this time I met a pastor Avinash Raiborde from India who was a regular customer of the store.  Pastor offered to pray for a problem I was having and three days later the problem was resolved.  I began to really listen to what he was saying about Jesus.  When I lost my job at the store, I was very afraid, but God sent a man to me that day to offer me an even better job!

               I asked pastor, “What God do you serve?”  and he said “Jesus Christ!”  I thought that I could add another God to my list.  So I started worshiping Jesus while continuing to sacrifice to my idols. After listening to pastor’s teaching, I realized that I had no peace in my life.  Pastor told me I had to choose between the two.  I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior in 1996.  That same day I experienced the love and peace of God.  I quit drinking alcohol and devoted my life to living for Him.  I began attending church and prayer meetings and learning all I could about Jesus.

               I had a vision where Jesus came to me and said, “Raj, look down.”  When I looked down I saw many people going down a hill into a fire.  They didn’t want to go and were trying to push others ahead of them and back up away from the fire.  I asked God, “Where are they going?”  and He said, “They are going into the lake of fire.  They are going to hell.”  I asked Him, “What can I do?”  and He replied, “Bring them to My heart.”  I promptly forgot about this. One day a man who was helping me move a refrigerator.  God told me to pray for him.  So, I asked him if I could pray for him and he said yes.  As I prayed for him, God revealed things about his life that shocked him.  He asked me, “How do you know these things?  Have you been spying on me?” And I told him, “No, God told me.”  He was so happy he said, “Can you come pray for my family?”  I said, “Yes.  My wife and I will be there on Friday.”  When we got to his house that Friday night, there were about 40 people there wanting us to pray for them!  Many people were healed and heard the word of God. 

               It was that night that God reminded me of the vision I had and called me to preach the Gospel to the world. I began my theological schooling and starting ministering all over the world.  I was getting calls from Canada, England, Singapore, France and India!  God used me many times to preach His word and spread the Good News about Jesus Christ.  I was given a burden for the people of the world.

               I have now graduated from school and am pastoring Asian/Indian Community Church of Lilburn, Georgia.  We are sponsored by Lilburn Baptist Church - click on the link for more information.
