After showing the JESUS Film, an East-West national partner in South Asia was disappointed. God usually uses the film to draw many people into His fold, but that didn’t happen. To his dismay, no one responded to the gospel message that evening.
So he went to bed praying for the villagers who viewed the film.
When he woke, Sanjiv*—the local witch doctor—was waiting for him at the door. He was well known for his occult practices throughout the region, but the story of Jesus shown the night before shook his world.
He couldn’t even sleep. He needed to know more about the gospel.
The national partner shared the whole story with Sanjiv again, and he believed. The holy disruption the night before led him to publicly denounce witchcraft and proclaim his new faith in Jesus to his family and community.
In the process, the Holy Spirit worked in the hearts of his immediate family members too … leading them to trust in Christ.
Today the national partner is discipling Sanjiv and accompanying him as he visits the rest of his family to share the good news about Jesus.
