INDIA
Santosh Kumar, a Gospel Outreach Bible worker in India, visits people in his area and gives them literature about health and hope. The following three stories are about people Santosh has introduced to Jesus.
Pooja
One day, Santosh met a man named Pooja in the village of Tekar. Pooja’s life was full of problems. Santosh listened and then told him about Jesus. Pooja wanted to learn more and invited Santosh to his house for a meal.
That evening, Santosh told Pooja: “There is strength in Jesus. He will guide us if we ask Him to.”
Pooja was happy to hear this and decided to visit the local Seventh-day Adventist church. He learned about God’s love and how to live life in line with God’s will.
As he grew in faith, Pooja noticed that he cared less about material things. He found greater happiness from the knowledge that Jesus is the true God who provides salvation. Pooja and his family attend church each Sabbath.
Munni Davi
Munni Davi, who lives in Virval, was not familiar with Jesus until Santosh visited his house.
Santosh asked if Munni had any health issues.
“Gallstones that won’t go away,” Munni said. “I’ve tried medicine and herbs, but the pain is still there. My doctor says I need an operation.”
Santosh shared a story from the Bible about Jesus’ healing power. Then he prayed for Munni and invited him to a Bible study meeting. At the meeting, Munni learned about salvation. He asked God to heal him, and God did.
The pain went away. Weeks later, Munni went to see his doctor, who told him that the gallstones were gone. Munni thanked Jesus for healing him and blessing him with good health.
Gayatri Devi
My name is Gayatri Devi. I live in Kherahi. Santosh visited my home and gave me a book titled Hope Beyond Tomorrow. After reading it, I realized I was living in darkness. I needed Jesus to light my life with happiness and peace.
When Santosh visited me again, he told me Jesus invites everyone to be part of His plan. All we have to do is believe and accept Him as our personal Savior. Santosh’s words encouraged me, and I decided to study the Bible with him. He said if we want to follow Christ, we need to obey His word. After learning more, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior.
Santosh regularly sends me Bible verses with brief explanations that are easy to understand. I am growing in the knowledge of Jesus Christ and am glad to be a Christian.
