The last day to tell the Good News started slow. Richard and his translator, Rakesh, could only find a ride part of the way to their destination. So they decided to take a shortcut down a narrow road. Within minutes they meet a family of about 6. The father was a rice farmer who said that he was poor. So Richard told him the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand as a way to show JC’s concern for meeting the needs of people who follow Him. Before the story ended the crowd grew to about 23 women, teens and children. Rakesh told them why he had chosen to follow the Lord. The family was delighted by the presentation. They requested someone come and teach them more about G.
As Richard and Rakesh moved on to their destination, they met several more people and told several Bible stories. But their last visit proved most fruitful. Outside on the main street was a man sitting on a table. They engaged in conversation with him. Richard started telling a Bible story.The man named Shiv-nath invited them to his home. After finishing the story, a presentation was made explaining why JC came down to earth to die for our sins. In a country of millions of gods, it was made clear that the creator was the only true one. Shiv-nath said he wanted to know this G. So he confessed his sins and prayed to have JC in his life. PTL!
This will be the last update from Richard. Tomorrow he catches a plane for home. Please continue to pray for Tom as he travels on.
