Kaila suffered a chronic illness that hindered her quality of life. She lives in a remote northern India village where sickness, economic instability, and treatment by witch doctors are common.
Kaila and several other villagers began listening to “Premey Kanne”(“With Love”), a radio program produced by Good Books Ministries in partnership with Back to God Ministries International and Words of Hope, the media ministry of the Reformed Church in America.
Through BTGMI outreach, Kaila heard about Jesus for the first time.
Kaila was initially attracted to the program because of its practical health segments. But it also offered biblical teaching and spiritual refreshment. As Kaila listened, she heard about Jesus for the first time. She continued to listen and made the decision to commit her life to the Lord and to serve him.
Kaila also prayed about her illness and believes that God miraculously healed her. She now enjoys good health and fearlessly shares God’s gracious love with others.
Kaila’s family does not yet share her faith, but she meets regularly with other listeners in her village who trust in Christ. Together they bring their problems to God and encourage one another to live a Christ-centered life amid their culture’s varying religious practices.
Not long ago, one of the producers of “Premey Kanne” traveled to Kaila’s village to meet with the group of listeners. “Kaila is a strong witness for the Lord among her people,” he reported. “Pray for her and all these dear friends.”
