General discussions If it's not theological, then it's considered, "general".

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God.

OM, my villagers, Correspo. Center n a missionary

I had no dream, no intention, no idea to become a Christian since I was raised in a Hindu family. But as God sent his means, I simply followed the steps and finally ended up repeating a prayer of repentance with a missionary who came to our village to start a Christian fellowship.

God used a Christian Team (O.M.?) to hear me Gospel in the viallge for the first time. They distributed books and tracts and also spoke the message thru P.A. system for about 200 people.

Secondly, it was not me but a neighbor lady who bought a gospel packet from them. Which I read for her and same time got a correspondacne center adress to know more about Christ life.
Thirdly, As I engaged in Correspondance, two missionaries came to our village (one ex OM'r), who later becamce my pastor, I was taught by him personally after I was introduced to him through one neighbor, who had heard gospel from a Children Home (BVK, D.Doon).

I believe it was God who provided all the means to save me, and I simply did not deny any of them, for I became interested in loving God, Who shows grace for the sinner, unlike our gods, who come to destroy the sinner and are very partial in their dealing with the humanity.
I felt God in Christ has deepest love for me and for my people.

Glory be to HIM alone....

God used the witness and the bookstore of John and Sandra Cully. I was involved in a cult for over 35 years and through their witness and of supplying me with great material I was converted....actually through listening to sermon on justification by Martyn Lloyd-Jones.
