As we were winding up our work today, the former Director of the CMC, Rev. Dr. Suvi, stopped by. In the course of the conversation, he told a story about the way the Holy Spirit is moving among the Hindus in India...

It seems that out in one village, there was a Hindu man who was illiterate. By the grace of God, he learned about Jesus and came to faith in the Lord. Being illiterate was not going to stop him from learning more about this newfound faith. He bought a Bible and had friends teach him how to read it. As he learned more about the Bible and about the Gospel, he knew he wanted to tell others this Good News.

This man gathered seven children together and began teaching them Bible stories. After a period of time, five of the children and their parents and families left their Hinduism behind and became Christ-followers. With the little band of five families, the once illiterate man began teaching and preaching and worshiping.

Over the course of the past several years, what began with one illiterate man learning about salvation through Jesus Christ has become a worshiping group of 54 families. All the families live in the same village--even the Hindu priest has become a Christ-follower!

Brothers & Sisters, we have pretty much everything at our fingertips and in our bank accounts. What we need to be praying for is the passion of the Holy Spirit to cause us to stop thinking we are small and that we don't know enough! If an illiterate guy in India can be used by the Holy Spirit to change the eternal destiny of 54 Hindu families, then there is no limit what the Holy Spirit can do through you and me!
