Joy and the Light of Jesus
The story of a Bible Worker sponsored by the South Bay SDA Church

One day, Joy and her husband went to visit one of their church members to pray and study the Bible with him. When they got to his house, they met his friend, Mr. Chandran, who was there visiting. Joy and her husband invited Mr. Chandran to stay, and he agreed. When they finished their prayer and Bible study, they got Mr. Chandran’s address and phone number so they could visit him at his own home.
The following week, Joy and her husband went to Mr. Chandran’s house. He was not yet home, so they were greeted by his wife and sister-in-law. When the ladies found out who Joy and her husband were, they told him how different Mr. Chandran was after that day. They said he had asked his wife to remove all the idols from their home and throw them away. Joy and her husband were surprised. Mr. Chandran had only received one Bible study. What had made him take that stand?
A few moments later, Mr. Chandran came home and warmly welcomed Joy and her husband. Then he began to explain to them what he had experienced on the day they first met.
“As you were praying,” Mr. Chandran said to Joy, “a light was shining.”
Mr. Chandran was so touched by the prayer and the light that was shown to him. Immediately he made a decision to worship only the Lord Jesus Christ, and not any other gods. Then he shared his decision with his family, threw out his idols, and started worshiping the Creator. Please pray for Mr. Chandran in his family as they grow in faith.
Joy, along with nine other JFA Bible Workers, are being sponsored by our home church in Tennessee. We are so excited to see how God is working through Joy and her fellow workers to reach people for Christ.
