Christ Heals and Many Believe!

Student Testimony:

To protect my identity, you may call me "Mr. P."

I was born into a traditional Hindu background in Nepal, worshiping false gods and idols. As an adult, I brought all the religious beliefs I learned growing up into my own family. Now, my wife and I have three children: two sons and one daughter.

Thirteen years ago, I became severely sick for five months. I had a very high fever and my body temperature would not return to normal. I was weak and aching all the time. I had gone to doctors and tried all the medications they prescribed, but without any changes in my health. Believing my sickness was perhaps a curse or spiritual in nature, I turned to witch doctors to find relief. Soon I had spent all my money and now was broke. One day I was coming back from a witchcraft house. On the way home that Friday evening, I met a lady who was preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. She told me, “If you will come to the church and believe in Jesus Christ, He will heal you.”

The next day, desperate for healing, I walked three hours to go to the Christian church. After the Saturday fellowship service was finished, the pastor prayed for me. I immediately felt good and could tell my health started getting better. After two weeks, I was completely healed. In awe of this miracle, my wife and I believed in Jesus Christ and started attending church. Now, God has blessed my family, by saving my two youngest children. My oldest son has still not believed.

After my baptism, God began stirring an interest inside of me to serve Him in ministry that continued to grow into a passion as time passed by. Two years ago, to prepare me for my calling, my pastor sent me to Acts for training. I received very good training for Christ's ministry. Last year, after my graduation, I went back to my home and started a new church. In my village area there are no other churches and I want my people to know Jesus Christ. Within one year, five people accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Now, as a small group of believers, we gather together every Saturday for church fellowship, with twelve to sixteen people attending.

I have a vision that there should be twenty baptized believers in my church within three years, and that I should be ordained as senior pastor of the church.

Please pray for my vision.
