I am Hira Kumari Ria, a wife and a mother to three wonderful children. My husband works as a mason in construction. We’re a family of Adventists, but life hasn’t always been smooth. It’s been challenging trying to balance work, family and faith. For a long time our busy schedules have consumed us.
No time for God
My husband and I have worked long hours to provide for our family. This has often left us with little to no time for spiritual matters. Our church attendance on Sabbaths became irregular, and we started drifting from the path of faith. Despite this, God’s love never let us go.
Ganesh Niroula, a Gospel Outreach Bible worker and church leader in our area, was a constant source of encouragement and guidance. We lovingly call him Uncle Ganesh. No matter how busy we were or how many Sabbaths we missed church, Uncle Ganesh wouldn’t give up on us.
He visited our home many times, patiently teaching us about God’s commandments and the significance of the Sabbath. He shared messages from the Bible that reminded us of the peace and blessings that come from walking in obedience to God.
Help when needed
Through the dedication and prayers of Uncle Ganesh, my family and I realized how much we were missing by not attending church regularly. We began to feel convicted and decided to make a change. Now we faithfully attend church every Sabbath, and it has brought immense joy, unity and spiritual renewal to our family.
Recently I was struck with a severe headache that lasted for days. I couldn’t care for my family in the usual way or fulfill my other responsibilities. Feeling helpless, I reached out to Uncle Ganesh. He immediately began praying for me and offering support. He went above and beyond, contacting the Nepal section president, who provided financial assistance to help me with my medical needs.
Choosing God
Through their prayers and care, I experienced healing and regained my strength.
Uncle Ganesh has been a pillar of support and a reminder of God’s love in action. His unwavering prayers, encouragement and spiritual guidance have transformed my life and also my family’s journey of faith.
Today we’re committed to staying close to God. We participate in church programs and want to continue growing in our spiritual walk. I feel deeply blessed to be part of a church family that cares so much. I humbly request your prayers for me and my family. May God strengthen us to remain faithful, and may He use us to share His love with others.
