People in this community were getting sick from the water they drank.
Because water was scarce, they had to buy it from tanker trucks. However, the water from the tanks was dirty and caused them to suffer from issues like throat infections and boils.
Tarun Malhotra, a Gospel for Asia-supported missionary, ministers in this area. He, too, was suffering because of the local water. His heart went out to the people--especially for the even deeper spiritual need among them. He was praying and reaching out--always watching for opportunities to point people to Christ.
Navin and Chitra Malik, a couple in this area, knew Tarun well. However, they weren't interested in his message. Meanwhile, their baby boy, Sujin, was frequently sick. He frequently ran a fever, and he suffered from digestive issues. It was painful to watch their little son suffer, but they had no way to get clean water.
Then Tarun was able to provide this couple with a BioSand water filter. Their baby's health began to steadily improve. The kind gesture opened their hearts to Tarun and his message. And in time, they began to follow Christ.
At the same time, Navin and Chitra's water filter had sparked much interest among their neighbors and friends.
Through the Maliks, two families came to faith in Christ! Then the Maliks began prayer meetings that still go strong today--and the number of believers grew even more. "Through this water filter, we came to know about Jesus Christ," Chitra expresses. "That is the greatest blessing we received. I want to go to everybody and share about Jesus Christ."
Tarun's ministry has blossomed because of the water filters. Giving these tangible expressions of God's love provides opportunities to point families to Jesus, the source of Living Water.
"So people are happy . . . and in the future also we are planning to give many filters to so many families," Tarun shares.
