My brother Prakash Reddy wanted me to write something about my father to add in this book of my father’s autobiography. I am so overwhelmed that I didn’t know where to start. My father was a disciplinarian. He used to get up early and be ready by 6:00 a.m. everyday. He spent most of his time in prayer. Every year during the festivals especially Christmas and New Year’s Eve, he used to visit everyone’s house and pray for them. He used to share the difficulties of everyone in the family. On every Sunday he attended the church. He encouraged us also to go to church every Sunday. My mother-in-law was in bed for four months before her death. Everyday my father used to come to enquire about her health and pray for her. My elder son was in bed for 20 years, as his spinal cord was broken in an accident. He was only able to talk and listen. My father visited him everyday and prayed for him. Even after the death of my son my father continued to visit our home and encouraged us with the words of Jesus. With that experience only we came closer to Jesus Christ. I can not forget the way my father used to read from the Bible beginning from Genesis for my son every day.
