Rajesh's story is one of hope and redemption. While he was born into a strong Hindu family,Rajesh found it difficult to find peace within himself and felt disconnected from God. However, his heartache didn't stop there. Through a series of unforeseen deaths, Rajesh was left without his wife and his son. "I was going through a life of storm inside out. My wife died, and my son who was in high school went to a friends wedding and died in an accident.."Rajesh prayed to gods, but was left without answers. It was during this time that Rajesh was slowly becoming legally blind, leaving him with an even greater sense of loss. With his deteriorating health and the loss of his family, Rajesh was broken emotionally, physically, and financially.
"Nothing helped, then a Christian preacher came to our village and distributed Christian literature published by Mid India Christian mission, which told me that the “way, truth, and life” is Jesus." Rajesh prayed to Jesus, and immediately felt the peace he had so desperately been searching for. He was baptized and became a preacher, bringing the love of Jesus to nearby villages. Rajesh faced persecution because he was the only Christian in his village, but he continued to preach.
He began to visit widows and new believers, praying for them as they experienced dark times in their lives. As he continued to dedicate his life to God, Rajesh found himself blessed beyond measure. He remarried, and had children. "Like Job in the Bible, I praised and thanked God for He has given me twice and more than what I had lost. Thank you God for changing my life for your glory. You have used this broken vessel and my physical weakness to witness Your grace mightily to others."
