Sardis & Muttah

The days are getting hotter here in south India. I think it must have hit 90 today. It is very dry and will continue to be that way until June when the monsoon season begins. The nights are cooler and the breeze cools things down quickly.

At 5 PM we walked with Pastor Benjamin to the village. He wanted us to meet his boyhood friend, Muttah. He lives with his wife, Sardis, in a very nice government home and he works in Ooty making x-ray films for hospitals. They are Hindus but have read the bible because Thomas Samuel gave him one in 1972. They also listen to Christian programing each morning on the TV. Benjamin asked Sal to share his testimony with them. After they listened, they both wanted to pray and ask Jesus to be Lord of their lives. They are going to read a chapter a day in John and they both promised to come to church on Sunday.

On the way back to Quiet Corner we stopped to pray with a Christian family, Ruth and Boaz and their daughter, Gracie. We passed Anama's home and she came out to greet us. I asked her if she remembered our conversation last year about Jesus. She said she did and wanted us to come back to talk again.

This little village at one time had never heard the name of Jesus. But through the ministry of Quiet Corner, one by one, people are turning to the one True God.
