Summary

SummaryI’m Kimberly, a gospel worker in South Asia, and I’ve watched the Lord transform lives amid harsh persecution. πŸ‘£ I met a 15-year-old girl whose father, the village witch doctor, cast her out when she chose Christ. Yet she declared, β€œI know I can’t deny Him,” and walked miles to find new family in the church. 🏘️

My husband Ben rebelled into drugs and faced 35 felony charges, only to surrender in a prison cell. There, God saved him in three years, set him free, and called him to serve unreached mountain villages. πŸ”οΈ

Later, Joe shared how a fellow inmate gave him a Bible, sparking his conversion and igniting a passion to smuggle God’s Word into closed nations. πŸ“– Through ostracism, exile, and anti-conversion laws, we’ve seen unwavering faith bloom in remote communitiesβ€”pioneers of hope who cling to Christ. πŸ™

β€œI didn’t know anything about my faith, but I knew I couldn’t deny Christ.”

A Christian for less than two months, a 15-year-old girl shared this with Ben and Kimberly when she came to their church for discipleship. Her father, one of the most powerful witch doctors in the village, kicked her out of the house and out of their village after she chose to follow Christ.

Ben and Kimberly are gospel workers in South Asia, involved in outreach, pastor training and discipleship of new believers. Listen as they share their testimonies, including how Ben rebelled against the Lord, got involved in drugs, eventually facing 35 felony charges and landing in prison. Yet, in prison, he gave his life to the Lord and miraculously the Lord allowed him to be released. Ben and Kimberly will also share how the Lord called them out of a comfortable life in America to go to the mission field.

Listen as they share the dedication they see in new Christians, sometimes even immediately after they hear the gospel. β€œOne of the amazing things has been to see the wholeheartedness. The way Christians in our village are fully sold out to Christ from the very beginning. Most people we talk with can’t even consider walking away,” Kimberly says.

Christian persecution in South Asian nations like India, Nepal, Bhutan or Bangladesh often involves being ostracized and kicked out of homes and communities. Kim says that’s why church is so important as the Body of Christ becomes a new family for the persecuted Christians.

Ben’s story of coming to faith calls to mind a previous guest on VOM Radio, who also came to faith in an American prison and is now involved in Bible distribution in the Middle East. Listen to Joe share his testimony of coming to faith and experience God’s call to overseas ministry.
