“Dear Friends,
-your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corin. 15:58
His name is Yedukondalu – or was. About 30 years ago, Yedukondalu was brought to our Jyothi Nivas home by his poor parents who were illiterate and of the untouchable caste. They wanted him to have a chance at a better life! Even though they worshipped multiple gods, it didn’t seem to matter to them that he would be cared for and taught by a Christian organization.
While with us, he received the care and education his parents wanted for him, but he also heard the message of Jesus Christ daily, without fail. When he left our home to get employment he had not yet become a committed Christian.
One day while Siromani and I were visiting India he appeared at our Jyothi Nivas home, told me he had received Jesus ads the only true God and asked me to baptize him and his wife. We gladly arranged for the baptisms and at his request we gave both he and his wife Christian names. Now, his name is James and his wife’s new name is Sarah. His testimony follows:
Yeddukondalu (James) – fish merchange, Narsapur, India
I belong to a Hindu family. I entered Jyothi Nivas when I was 8 years old. The home manager, staff, and pastors used to teach us from the Word of God. Therefore, along with studies I learned Christian songs and God’s Word. I got married and we are blessed with a son and daughter. In the year 2000, the month of February, Bob Stoll baptized my wife and me. We are growing in the Lord, doing our traditional business as fish merchants.
Since Bob and Siromani Stoll have established such good homes, many people like us have benefited. Many students have completed their studies and become teachers, nurses, merchants, pastors, etc. May God bless the sponsors and may the ministry grow and become a blessing to many more.'
There are many, many more people who now have names like James and Sarah. They are the fruit of our labor. That’s why we are in India… and that’s why we greatly appreciate your prayers and support!”
