| GFA-supported missionaries all over Asia know that the Lord is the Great Physician. They trust Him to heal any illness, even if doctors cannot. |
“We won’t leave until she is completely delivered,” Jui Bala’s parents firmly told Kewal Devrat, a Gospel for Asia-supported missionary. “We have tried everything, and nothing has worked. You have to help our daughter.”
A few weeks before, Jui began having severe chest pains that caused her to cry out in pain. Her family rushed her to the local hospital, but the doctors could not find a cause for the symptoms.
Then, she became mentally unstable, physically lashing out at her family members. She would also go for extended periods of time in complete silence, refusing to acknowledge anyone or anything around her. As Jui’s behavior degenerated, her family realized a demon was controlling her. They took her to traditional witch doctors, who performed several rituals, but nothing worked.
As their daughter’s condition worsened, Jui’s parents grew increasingly discouraged. Just as they had lost all hope that she would ever be free from this spiritual bondage, someone told them about Kewal. Wanting nothing more than their daughter’s healing, they traveled to Kewal’s home and begged for his prayers. Kewal had prayed for people from the village before, and many had seen the results of his intercession.
“Jui realized that it was the Lord’s mighty hand that delivered her out of bondage. She gladly turned her life over to Jesus, and now follows Him.”They adamantly told Kewal that they would not leave until their daughter was completely delivered. Trusting that the Lord could work powerfully, Kewal began praying and fasting for Jui’s freedom. Within two days, she was totally normal.
Jui realized that it was the Lord’s mighty hand that delivered her out of bondage. She gladly turned her life over to Jesus, and now follows Him.
Bhim Vatsa, another resident in Kewal’s village, had begun regularly attending Kewal’s church, but had not yet received Christ into his life. Bhim suffered from excruciating abdominal pains, and the situation was so bad that he would fall to the ground, doubled over, any time they hit.
Bhim tried to keep everything to himself, and did not want to burden Kewal with his problems, so for a long time he did not tell him about his terrible illness. But as time went on, the pain became more debilitating, and Bhim finally requested that Kewal pray for him.
When Kewal realized how serious Bhim’s pain was, he anointed Bhim with oil. The Lord quickly answered Kewal’s prayers, and Bhim’s pain completely left his body. As a result of seeing God move first-hand, Bhim trusted in Jesus that very day. He now has a deep faith, and his life has been transformed.
Kewal requests prayer that Jui’s and Bhim’s testimonies will profoundly impact their village, and that many more will come to Christ as a result. Also pray for Kewal as he continues to minister to the people of Madhya Pradesh.
