Sundar Selvaraj was born on 17 March 1962 into a Catholic family. He has two sisters and a younger brother. When he was about seven years old, his father embraced Hinduism and became a layman priest.
Young Sundar being the first born male child followed his father’s footsteps and became a devout Hindu. He gave himself to the study of mantras and was versed in performing pujas (religious ceremonies). He even carried the kavadi – a form of Hindu penance, for three years. When he was about 16 years old, there arose a question in his heart about karma, life after death and nirvana.
I HAVE IT, CANCER!
MEDICAL DATA
In July 1971, at the age of 58, I discovered a lump in my left groin about the size of a large olive. This was diagnosed to be a lymphoma or cancer of the lymphatic system. It was treated with cobalt for a period of 21 days. I continued to have periodic check-ups until early in 1975. As time went on I discovered several nodes in my neck and under my right arm that seemed to be growing. In August, 1977, at the age of 64, a large node was removed from my right armpit. It was diagnosed as a poorly differentiated nodular lymphoma.
May 25, 1995 presented me with quite a surprise — and another of life’s challenges. Confronted with the evidence of a Grade IV malignant brain tumor my experience of life soon changed. Surgery, radiation, and a shortened chemotherapy regimen left me physically and emotionally exhausted. Against my doctor’s wishes, I stopped taking chemotherapy in January 1996. There is no medical “cure” for brain cancer so I set forth seeking a miracle and an opportunity to serve a God that might graciously heal me.
"And they overcame him [the devil] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death." (Revelation 12:11).

When I was about 15 years old, I tasted alcohol for the first time and I knew that I was hooked. It seemed to fill me up in a way that nothing else did. I didn’t realize at the time that it felt good to me only because I was empty inside. I had something missing and something broken in my life, but I couldn’t really define what it was. I was yearning to feel complete and drinking was a counterfeit solution. It was like a bandaid. I didn’t know that I had opened a door in my soul to the devil.
Paul says in Romans 1:16 (a):
“I’m not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of every one who believes: …”
Its a common mistake to think that after someone preaches the gospel, God sends the power. But the Bible says that the gospel “is the power of God”. If someone gives you a machine gun, you need to be trained before you can handle it, don’t you? But our wonderful God told you on the day you were saved: “I’ll give you my power to handle!”
What is that power?

“I spent 31 years as a Christian suffering from depression. That was not God’s Will for me or anyone else that is suffering with depression. I was diagnosed as ‘Manic Depressive’ by the doctors and was on medication for many years. They were a great support for me but only Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit can truly set the captives free. ‘He whom the Son sets free is free indeed’ John 8:36”
I used to be an orphan and was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Okoro to be their only child. For a long time, I lived a fortunate life under their care. They showed me love, and loved me with everything they had access to. I was able to receive the best toy in town, and I attended the best primary education. I brought luck into my family. My mother, the woman who adopted me and was barren for fifteen years of marriage conceived. She gave birth to a twin. Two baby boys were born. The next year, she gave birth to a baby girl. I also brought financial luck to them.
Brother Yun from China had to fast and pray before God miraculously supplied him with a Bible.
