Rijul stood by the river as
night descended. He had to cross it to reach home, but he had no one to help
him. He wasn't sure what to do, until a man drove up inquiring about Rijul's situation.
"What happened to you?" asked the
driver. Before Rijul answered, he asked the man who
he was.
"I am Jesus," the driver
replied, "whom you heard about from your wife."
"I need to cross the river to get
home," Rijul explained, "but there is no
one to help me."
"I would like to help you
cross," Jesus said. "Will you get in the vehicle?"
When Rijul got in the
car, he looked in the backseat and noticed there was an abundant amount of
Bibles and Gospel literature.
"Why are you carrying
this many books?" Rijul asked.
"There are many people who have yet to know me," Jesus said.
"Take all these books and distribute it to the needy."
Rijul Sen
suddenly woke up from his sleep and began pondering the dream he just had about
Jesus.
He wasn't a believer, and he had even forbidden
his wife, Daya, to go see a film show about the life
of Jesus Christ that same day. But without his consent, Daya
went ahead and saw the movie screened in her village by Gospel for
Asia-supported missionaries. When she returned, she told her husband about the
film and was surprised to find Rijul paying keen
attention to all she told him instead of reprimanding her for disobeying him.
Rijul shared everything he
had experienced with his wife and asked her questions about this Jesus whom she
had seen a movie about and who invaded his dreams. Daya
explained the film to Rijul, telling him Jesus is the
Savior of the world, and He needed Rijul to share the
Gospel with those who were perishing without Him.
Later, Rijul and Daya went to meet with the film team to find out more about
Jesus. The team expounded the Gospel message and shared about Christ's love. It
was then that Rijul and Daya
decided to follow Jesus. Now they attend a GFA-supported church and are ready
to publicly testify of their faith.
