Amid faint rolling hills in South Asia lies a village steeped in darkness. Pemba,* an OM partner, has travelled there with a group of believers to help a villager build a new house. Another two dozen villagers join in the work.
Soon, Pemba learns that one family — Tashi* and her son Kelsang* — carry a heavy burden. An evil spirit haunts their family, they tell him. It keeps them awake at night. The lama is powerless, and the rituals don’t work. Yet Tashi and Kelsang have never heard of the Light of Christ. “As we spent the night with them, we encountered the evil spirit too,” Pemba recalls. “But we know the One who is more powerful, and we asked Him for opportunities to share.”
And opportunities soon came. In the following days, everyone worked together, digging the foundation and carrying stones. “It was tiring,” Pemba says, “but our love for the lost helped us keep going.” Over dinner, the believers shared about their Saviour. Day after day, they talked about Jesus. Tashi and Kelsang listened intently.
By the time the roof was completed, Tashi and Kelsang were ready to follow Him. In front of many others, they declared their newfound faith. Together, they made a fire and burnt all the idols and items they used for offerings; they would not need them anymore.
Other family members watched in amazement. “We are considering accepting Him too,” they said. “Nobody would sacrifice their time and help us like this. This is the genuine love of your God!”
