Pattaravakkam, India—Surya wanted a baby. She’d been married for two years, but still wasn’t pregnant. Even a year of medical treatment hadn’t helped. Friends and relatives had begun to call her a cursed woman.
Surya became more and more depressed. She cried and begged for help. Life for her began to feel hopeless.
One day she told her story to Mary Pushpa, a Gospel Outreach Bible worker. Mary shared promises from the Bible, including Luke 1:37, which says nothing is impossible with God.
This comforted Surya, who claimed the promise. She determined to fast and pray. Within a month, she learned she was pregnant and would have twins.
Surya praised God for the answer to prayer, and she shared her new faith with her husband. Both of them gave their hearts to Jesus and were baptized. Now they tell others how Jesus turned sadness into joy.
