Summary

Summaryβ€œI grew up in a devout Hindu family back in Indiaβ€”praising many gods and attending temple services, yet I felt a deep emptiness. One day, my Catholic friends gave me a picture of Jesus, and it brought an inexplicable peace to my heart. I secretly kept that picture under my pillow, and soon I began dreaming of Jesus walking with me, talking to me like a dear friend. πŸ’–

In year 8, I discovered a blue-bound New Testament and hid both the Bible and Jesus’s picture under my pillow. Whenever I read those verses or gazed at His image, joy overflowed in my heart. One summer, I convinced my dad to let me attend a retreat where I witnessed people receiving Holy Communion; I longed to know that same Jesus. Meanwhile, my father battled alcoholism, and on March 25, 1995, I sensed in my spirit something terrible would happen. That day, he collapsed and passed awayβ€”my world shattered, yet Jesus’s presence strengthened me through my grief. πŸ˜’πŸ™

I wanted to escape my sorrow, so when an opportunity arose to study nursing at All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi, I leaped at itβ€”even though I had no certificates initially. God miraculously opened the doors, and I completed my nursing degree. During that time, I joined a rosary group and felt Mother Mary’s love, but my heart yearned for Jesus above all. One night, as I lay alone in my room after retreat prayers, a powerful surge of the Holy Spirit coursed through me; tears streamed down my face as I declared, β€˜Jesus, You are my only living God!’ That very moment, I accepted Him as my Savior. ✝️

Years later, my brother arranged a marriage proposal with a family who’d also embraced Christ. Between November 20–27, 2003, I received all five sacramentsβ€”an overwhelming, beautiful week of encountering God’s faithfulness. Though only a few relatives attended our church wedding, I knew God was turning every challenge into victory. In 2004, my husband and I moved to Sydney, Australia, and I actively served in Jesus Youthβ€”among prayer meetings, retreats, and family gatheringsβ€”sharing Christ’s love wherever I went. 🌍

In 2019, during a Shalom Retreat, I fell under the power of the Holy Spirit, and all doubts evaporated. Recently, my family faced a financial crisis and feared losing our home. One night, I awoke to a thunderous voice saying, β€˜Do not fear, do not fear, do not fear.’ I knew it was God speaking, reminding me of His unending provision. Even now, as I juggle motherhood with four children, I remain faithfulβ€”trusting that every trial forms me and that He walks with me each step. πŸ™Œβ€οΈβ€


Raised within the traditions of Hinduism, Leena Vasu’s world expanded when she encountered Jesus through her childhood friends. Among the pantheon of her faith, she began conversing with Jesus, Who, in turn, responded to her through dreams. Sensing a feeling of dread, her intuition proved right when she received the devastating news of her beloved father’s passing. Yet, amidst this heartbreak, Leena clung tight to Him. The ever-present help and presence of God in her life began to become even more evident, guiding her safely through the darkest of times.
