A Listener in India Finds New Depth in Scripture

Prayer Points

• Pray for spiritual growth – That believers in India will grow deeper in their understanding of God’s Word.
• Pray for perseverance – That those facing trials will hold fast to their faith and be strengthened.
• Pray for impact – That THRU the BIBLE’s teaching in local languages will continue to transform lives and communities.

What takes someone from simply reading the Bible to truly applying it?

Today’s story from India shows us how God uses truth from His Word during trials to deepen our walk with Him. In India, the Christian minority often walks a quiet but courageous path of faith. For those who follow Jesus, understanding the Bible deeply is essential. That’s why THRU the BIBLE’s systematic teaching, especially in local languages like Odia, is such a lifeline.

God is building a foundation that will last in India. And He’s doing it through faithful listeners who are opening their Bibles and their hearts to the truth of God’s Word. 

Let’s praise God for transforming this listener’s life:

“I belong to a Christian family. I grew up listening to the Word of God, and my parents always encouraged me to go to church. From a young age, I had a keen interest in knowing more about the Word of God. During my childhood, I became severely ill. The doctors gave up on my treatment, but I came back from the brink of death. This experience strengthened my family's faith and we began walking more closely with God. My interest in God’s Word grew deeper over the years. While scrolling through television channels, I came across the TTB-Odia program. This program helped me systematically study the Word of God. Taking notes has helped me reflect on the Scriptures whenever I feel stuck in life. Previously, I would only read the Scriptures, but now I delve deeper into them.”

Praise God for the work He is doing through this listener’s life and through the TTB-Odia broadcasts! This story challenges each of us: Are we simply reading God's Word, or are we digging in to understand and apply it?

Let’s continue to pray for the people of India. Let’s pray that many would find God’s Word accessible in their heart language and that they would come alive to its truth.
