*Chakir and his family met *Nuh, who is serving in South Asia, when he visited their village. During his visit, Nuh shared the good news of Jesus and invited Chakir to start a Discovery Bible Study (DBS) group with his family. When Chakir learned that the stories of Jesus were available in their own language, he eagerly agreed. Nuh provided them with an MP3 speaker containing the newly translated Scriptures, taught them how to use it, and promised to return for follow-up in a few weeks.
When Nuh returned to Chakir’s village, he was met with great joy. Chakir and his family couldn’t wait to share how their lives had been transformed by listening to the stories. They realized these weren’t just stories—they were the words of the Living God. Inspired by what they had learned, Chakir, his wife, and his children took bold steps of faith.
They removed the amulets they had worn for protection, broke down the temple in their home, and discarded the idols they once worshiped. They also renounced the black magic and witchcraft practices common in Hindu households in their village. These actions were public declarations of their newfound faith, showing how powerless their former beliefs and rituals were compared to the Living God.
With joy and conviction, Chakir proudly proclaimed, “We are now followers of Jesus!”
Praise God for the miraculous transformation in Chakir and his family! Pray that they will remain steadfast in their faith, even when faced with challenges. Ask God to continue transforming their hearts and minds, drawing them closer to Him. Pray that Chakir will grow not only as a disciple but also as a disciple-maker, boldly sharing the truth he has discovered with others in his village and beyond.
