This is the story of an Indian lady named Sharon who grew up in Bombay. She was born to an Indian family that valued education. She came from a relatively small family, just her parents and her sister. She excelled in arts, but her parents wanted her to study engineering.
One day as she was studying for an exam, she received a vision that would change her life. She was locked in her room alone trying to study. Then a voice told her to pray. She tried to ignore the voice at first, but couldn't in the end. She only knew how to pray at set times, and at 1:30pm, it was already passed that. So she simply closed her eyes, asking that if there was a God, that He would reveal himself to her. And then, she saw a bright image. Although she had no Christian background, she had no doubt it was Jesus. And she fell down crying, realizing the dark spots of pride and self-righteousness that polluted her heart.
After the vision, she wanted to know who Jesus was. She found a friend as she was in tears trying to know the answer. And this friend gave her the Bible to read. She started reading from 8pm to 3am. She was wondering why she had seen Jesus? This inner battle continued. But as time passed, Sharon approached life in a different way. She could now relate with her Creator. She could pray to Him. But it also meant the difficult choice of leaving her parents for Jesus. It was a costly decision, but Jesus helped her every step of the way because God is and always will be faithful.
Watch her testimony here:
Ansari lives in India. He was raised in a traditional Muslim family. His original name was actually Syed, but now changed his name to Ansari. When he was a teenager, his biology teacher came with a different appearance. She didn't have a big bindi on her forehead and was wearing a white sari. Ansari thought her husband passed away. She said she saw Jesus in a dream, and lifter her up. Ansari began arguing with her. She said Jesus is God and He changed her life. She said "A day will come when you will understand the truth. "
Two years later, his parents were arguing at home. On December 24th, 1990, he saw his dad hit his mom and she was bloodied. His dad then fought him. The family broke apart and he was kicked out of the house following a divorce. Philip was considering suicide. Then he heard a voice. "Ansari - try me, I'm Jesus." That confused Philip. Ansari thought about his biology teacher.
Ansari went to his biology teacher. He needed answers from her. She said, Jesus loves you and Jesus has wanted to save your life. Next day, he went to church on Christmas day. The title of the sermon was - Jesus, born to die. He is the only one to raise from the dead to defeat death. That day, Ansari gave his life to Jesus.
He wanted to be a secret believer. But his mother found out about the baptism and 60 family members gathered together to pressure him to return. He was tortured and persecuted by his own family for over 3 years, but Jesus was with him throughout the trial. His mom even used witchcraft to bring him back. She gave money to a witch and a personal artifact of Ansari. The witch locked up to start the ritual and half an hour later, she ran out and returned the money to her mother. Your son has a wall of fire around him and I cannot reach him! All my powers have been burned up, so leave him alone.
Ansari became a pastor. One day, his mom came to his church finally. The sermon spoke to her and she gave her life to Jesus.
A Maharashi is an honorary title given to a Hindu teacher, a sage in its religion. They are not to listen to other beliefs. In fact, he can order people to stone whoever tries to share their faith with him.
Ravi had a dream. That dream was to go near a specific giant Hindu temple to look for a man dressed in orange, with an orange turban and a white beard. Coincidentally, there was a Maharashi who also had a dream. In his dream, he saw Jesus and also saw a man in his dream who would tell him more about Jesus. When the Maharashi saw Ravi, he knew that was the man that would tell him more about Jesus.
As they started talking, a crowd started to form. In order to focus in their conversation, they went to a quiet place. There, Ravi told him about salvation through Jesus. The Maharashi believed and accepted prayer to follow Jesus. What did the Maharashi do after he was told the good news? What did the Maharashi do after hearing the gospel? He went to tell his own followers. He wanted to tell everyone he knew. He couldn't hold back. Why? Because the best things in life are shared and not kept for themselves.
Since them, the Maharashi continues to tell people about Jesus. He gives all the credit to Jesus. To prove that he has chosen the right path, he has performed many miraculous healings, in the name of Jesus.
Many things are impossible for men (humans). But nothing is impossible for God. Watch this short but amazing 9 minute video of the encounter!
Musthafa is an Indian Muslim that followed many rituals and traditions growing up. But hearing an audible voice changed his life. He thought it was the voice of Allah. So he wanted to go pray at a Mosque, but there was a power that prevented him from going. Musthafa followed the power to a person preaching about Jesus, but he didn't understand much because he didn't spoke that language. And the voice revealed to him it was indeed Jesus. And after he prayed he looked, and there was Jesus. The power was so great that Musthafa couldn't stand and fell down.
Jesus asked who would talk to others about him. Musthafa doubted because of his speech impediment, but had the heart. With that heart, the Lord healed him and he as been preaching ever since answering the call.
