Pastor P became a Christian after seeing God’s enduring faithfulness and committed his life to preaching the Gospel. Pastor P ministers to a congregation in his own village and also travels to other Deep Forest villages preaching the Gospel. Despite the constant threat of persecution, he serves God with love and determination.

Pastor PD grew up in a devoted Hindu family. But as he prayed and made sacrifices to Hindu gods, he never got a response. After turning his back on the Hindu religion, he heard God, in a dream, call him to become a preacher of the Gospel. Ever since, Pastor PD has been preaching to the lost in the villages of the Deep Forest and to a congregation in his own village. Despite the persecution he has faced, he has been obedient to God’s calling for over 15 years.

Some time ago, Pastor ES and another Deep Forest pastor entered a new village. They asked God to heal the ailing and shared their testimonies. God answered their prayers. Several in the village accepted Christ. When the pastors returned home, a group of men attacked them in the dark. Both pastors suffered injuries. Days later, recovered, they returned to the same village. They shared the Gospel and again prayed for healing—and God answered. People placed their faith in Christ. Now, like Pastor ES, they trust God as their refuge and strength.

Pastor N grew up in a Hindu family. After his brother became deathly-ill, a friend shared with him the healing power of God. He asked God to heal his brother and became a Christian after seeing this prayer answered. Now, Pastor N and his wife, JK, preach the Gospel to their village and the ones nearby. Despite facing the constant threat of persecution, they serve God with great courage and love.
