No Longer a Slumdog<br />

In response to his request, two missionaries went to extend<br />

whatever help they could. They talked with the family about<br />

Jesus and explained the Gospel. Finally, they laid hands on the<br />

woman and prayed that God would heal her.<br />

Just as we read in the Word of God, the Lord in His mercy did<br />

just that. The news spread like wildfire throughout the small village.<br />

Through this miracle, several others came to k<strong>no</strong>w the Lord.<br />

The following week, more families placed their faith in Jesus.<br />

To understand how incredible this is, it’s important to k<strong>no</strong>w<br />

that this particular community had earlier shown <strong>no</strong> interest<br />

whatsoever in hearing the Good News. It was <strong>no</strong>t until Nibun’s<br />

mother was healed that they wanted to k<strong>no</strong>w more.<br />

Subsequently, the first church in the history of this community<br />

was soon established. Now the life-changing Gospel continues<br />

to spread to neighboring villages,<br />

See how God brings new life to a family.<br />

and more people are coming to k<strong>no</strong>w<br />

Think about it. What if Nibun<br />

was given a good education, plenty of food, clothes and all the<br />

same physical benefits we had provided him, but never had a<br />

chance to learn about the Lord Jesus Christ and the Word of<br />

God; what would have happened<br />

Would he have been able to tell his father about the “medical<br />

doctor named Jesus” who healed his mother How many people<br />

would have come to k<strong>no</strong>w the Lord that day Perhaps there<br />

would be <strong>no</strong> church in that village. Without the liberating power<br />

of Christ’s love, how many people would still be living with the<br />

mindset of being trapped, worthless and hopeless<br />

It is so important that we do <strong>no</strong>t look at physical assistance<br />
