Ratnaraj and his classmates left the Maharashtra (India) village with heavy hearts—a stark contrast to earlier in the day, when, armed with Gospel tracts, they had eagerly arrived. Upon their arrival they had begun to hand out literature, only to be met with reluctant villagers. How they longed to share Christ with these people! But hearts weren’t ready yet.
The team of Bible college students returned to their campus, but not without fervently praying for that village. When they visited again, they were amazed at what they encountered. God had been at work—people who had rejected the Gospel before were now receptive. As the team faithfully shared the message of hope, 45 people placed their faith in the Savior. “Praise the Lord for His mighty work,” Ratnaraj expressed. “Please pray for their spiritual growth.”
Give thanks to God for His mighty working through Ratnaraj and his classmates on their weekend outreach. Pray God will continue to prepare these brothers for full-time ministry to their people.
