Recently, we learned of a tribal believer who wanted to buy rice seedlings from a high-caste rice farmer for the next season.
You can hardly imagine a greater social gap than the one between these two people. The farmer was reluctant to promise anything to the tribal man because a late-season storm was headed straight for his rice fields and, without time to harvest the crop, he expected his rice to be destroyed.
The believer said, “Don’t worry about your crop. My God will stop the rain.” And he did! The storm literally stopped short before reaching the farmer’s field! This Hindu man was shocked. He immediately asked to know more about this God.
After a short time of studying the Creation to Christ story, that Hindu man, along with 18 others, committed to follow Jesus, and they were all baptized. Another 15 are awaiting baptism this month.
