"I
was blindly following the Hindu tradition before I met with Christ. I
came to know the truth through a servant of God who shared the
message of love so powerfully. The man of God gave me a gospel booklet titled Help
From Above, which contained the Word of the Lord. Upon reading, the Holy
Spirit convicted me of my lostness and thus I confessed my sins and
accepted Jesus as my Lord.”
—G.R.T., Madhya Pradesh, India
Throughout India’s many states and remote districts, national evangelists
and pastors carry the gospel of Jesus Christ from house to house. In many of
these regions Hindu majorities have enacted new laws designed to stem the
growing number of people who are coming to the Savior. Many of these faithful
witnesses have been threatened or beaten, but they continue to show
Christ’s love. Those who are willing to accept Christ also face
threats, loss of position, or even family.

“A servant maid working in an orthodox Hindu family came
to our church searching for her son, who is very much interested in church
activities. . . . [Returning the next day], she explained how she had been thrown
out of the Hindu orthodox family where she was working, just for
attending a Christian meeting. . . . We are planting churches in rural
areas for the poor and needy people. All our members are new converts. We are
interested to give them more literature to guide them. Please help us by
sending booklets.”
—Pastor M.J.N., Madras, India
WMP has supported Indian believers with Scripture booklets and Bible-study
booklets for many years. In 2004 WMP sent more than 9 million pieces
of literature to India. Those who have depended on WMP over the years
as well as new contacts present an increasing demand for literature to reach
India’s 1.2 billion people.
“In our experience, we have realized that God can and has used the
print ministry very strongly. In spite of all our meetings, we have
come across a lot of people who have come to God because they found our tracts
through others. That is when we realized that we need to distribute booklets
so that more people can know the true God. I wish you could give me more
copies of all these books because we go at least three times a week to
different villages. I know the booklets will be voraciously devoured
since everyone is hungry for God.”
—W.M., Andhra Pradesh, India
“I am now 70 years old. From age 19 I have been doing the Lord’s ministry.
For more than 35 years I have been receiving your WMP literature for
our ministry. We have a team and a prayer group. The Lord is with us,
and He does wonderful things. We request you to give us at least 100
boxes of booklets in Tamil and Malayalam.” —P.T.B., Tamil Nadu,
India
“By the grace of God we had the opportunity to use some of your Tamil
[booklets] in our village outreach. Those [booklets] were a great blessing to
us and the people. For the past 30 years we are proclaiming the good news in
the villages. We have gone into hundreds of villages preaching and
distributing tracts. We find the booklets are very useful in the
village outreach.”
—P.E., Nagercoil, India
Another
ministry in the northeast region of India writes, “Every booklet that we
received from you was very effective for the people of northeast India
and surrounding countries such as Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, China, and
Bangladesh.” —T.A., Nagaland State, India
In the face of persecution and danger, thousands of faithful Indian
believers are going to the poor, the forgotten, and the rejected with a
message of hope. They look to WMP for tools for the work—precious words of
God that will speak to the heart long after the evangelist is gone.
[An investment of $100 will reach 2,500 precious people in
India; $20 will provide 500 Scripture booklets. A $500 gift will touch 12,500
people with the gospel.]

coming to know the gospel through your literature,” wrote E. Velayutham.
