Somu’s Salvation
I recently received the following testimony from Somu, a young man from a Hindu family. His life was forever changed after receiving a copy of the Scriptures thanks to gifts to the Strategic Bibles Ministry.
Below are just a few of the many testimonies we receive about lives being impacted and transformed by the Strategic Bibles Ministry of Heaven’s Family.

Feet of Gold
Can you remember when you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior? I was a high school sophomore at a retreat in Oglebay Park, West Virginia. My Young Life leader opened the Word of God to me in a way no one had before. To him I am forever grateful.

Truth Comes in Telegu, Too
Carole Collins, who directs the Leprosy Ministry Fund, told me a few months ago about a request she received from 2 women, Sarah and her mother Prasanna (both wound-care nurses caring for those afflicted with leprosy), for Bibles in the Telegu language to give to their patients. These women travel throughout the Hyderabad area treating the terrible wounds common to leprosy patients, making rounds to 17 communities each week.

Also, the gospel is easily rejected if it is not spoken in a dialect that the local people can understand clearly.

Mercy for a Mullah
Morad, a Christian, sat waiting in a government office that issues licenses for cars. He noticed that a man sitting in the waiting area with him was a mullah (the term for an educated Muslim trained in religious law and doctrine, and who usually holds an official post). The wait had been long, and the mullah grew increasingly impatient. Unable to contain his frustration any longer, he blurted out loudly, "The people working in the office are in need of God's forgiveness!"
