Lakshmi is a graduate student at Oklahoma State University and is very passionate to reach the lost with the word of Christ. She actively participates at Hosanna Church, Stillwater, Oklahoma. She comes from India where she was used by God in ministering and working with youth groups. She has put a lot of hardwork for the New Testament Prophetic 101 class by attending the class and submitting all the homeworks. We from FAMI are excited to come in contact with people like Lakshmi who burn for Christ....https://sites.google.com/site/famiwebclass/student-of-the-month/johndoe
