Faithfulness Testimony of Simadri Reddy                           

It was a late night of 9:30 P.M, My friend asked me to drop him to the railway station to catch 10:45 P: M train to Guwahati. On the way two middle-aged couples with luggage asked for a lift to the railway station, it was drizzling so in hurry they got down, paid the auto fare and went inside the Dimapur railway station. I wished my friend a safe journey then I returning home; on reaching the petrol pump I got down to fill my auto rickshaw tank. Then I saw one ladies purse in the back seat of the Auto rickshaw, in my curiosity I unzipped the purse, the excitement level reached the peak point on seeing the Rs.2000/- and Rs.500/- bundle. I started my auto and moved towards home planning what to do next with the money, on the way a voice was speaking return the money another side the picture of my financial hardships of unpaid loans, credits were appearing one after another. Then I closed my eyes and prayed for Gods direction the voice of giving back gave me more pressure; then and then I took U-turn moved straight to railway station I searched for this couple but couldn’t find them. I could see the train waiting for passengers in the platform I could hear the announcement, I could see people hurrying to get inside the train. Nowhere I could find this couples in the platform then; I thought I’ll ask the official to announce about the lost purse; I saw two old couples wiping their tears and coming towards the office, I could see the happiness in their eyes, I saw the joy of tears they were thanking God. They were leaving for Guwahati for health treatment they asked my contact number and said will meet me soon. I moved for my house, I felt sense of relaxing on, on the other hand, I felt awkward on not receiving a single amount as reward..! I reached home thanked God and continued my normal life: after three days an unknown number called me to meet him, it was the son of that couple whom I had returned the purse. He invited me to his house and provided me lunch and also gave me a local chicken and an envelope as a token of appreciation, we had good interaction; beside auto-rickshaw business I said I’m a church secretary, he asked me whether I knew  how much amount was inside the purse I replied NO I didn’t count; he said the total amount was 2.5lac and his parents were on the way to Guwahati for major treatment. I thanked him for the gift and left for home there was 10000/- in the envelope; I experienced the fulfillment of the word of God in my life, It felt like I passed the examination the major test.

This testimony was given by Simadari Reddy at church service during Thanksgiving program 9/9/2018. He is a church secretary at Gorkha Christian church 2 1/2 Mile Dimapur he is a businessman by profession; he is the only Christian from his family. His parents are orthodox Hindus he accepted Christ during his youth days, he was kicked out of his house because of change in faith.
