Religious Priest Accepts Christ!
Missionary Lakshamana Naick told this exciting story: “Sathiyavelu was a [religious sect] priest who had gone to a [religious sect] seminary for his education. One day I gave him a New Testament Bible. When I saw him again he told me that he has been reading the Bible and he shared this amazing testimony: ‘In the past I have learned so much about other religion, but since I have read the Bible I have see a much clearer truth about God. I am now ready to receive Jesus into my heart as my Savior’. I shared the Gospel with him and he has committed his life to Christ! Please pray for him and his family because as of now he cannot come to my church because he is from a very extreme [religious sect] family. If his family finds out that he is following Christianity and is coming to my church they will try to kill him”.

Muslim Woman Believes!
Pastor Joseph tells this: “One day I met a Muslim woman in the marketplace. I shared about Jesus to her. She said, “I believe Jesus was a teacher and good man.” I gave her a Bible to read.

Bible TV Broadcasts Change Lives!
Over the past year, ICII has broadcasted their Word for Word Bible videos in three different states and in three different Indian languages. After each broadcast, many people called and testified how God has saved them, healed them, or has done some other miracle in their lives. Also, many new believers and those who were seeking the Lord have called for a free New Testament Bible. ICII has given out thousands of New Testaments through TV broadcasts over the years. In the state of Karnataka, where it is oftentimes very dangerous to preach the Gospel, ICII was able to broadcast its Video Bibles. Pastor Solomon told this: “Through the TV ministry one man called me and requested a Bible. I invited him to come to church to pick up the Bible. The man came to church to get the Bible and told me, ‘I have been searching for peace in many places, but I had found no hope. But when I saw your TV program it touched my heart as I listened to the Bible verses’. Later this man accepted Christ as his personal Lord and Savior, and is now attending my church!”
