Missionary Gunasekaran shared this testimony:
“I was walking very far one day to preach the Gospel in one village. I visit several villages by bus or on foot every day. After my long walk, I finally arrived at the village, so I sat down to rest near a well. Many people came to this well, and began throwing flowers, and doing rituals before the well, but no one took any water from the well. So, when I started preaching the Gospel there, I met a man in charge of the well, and I asked him why everyone was worshiping it. He told me this was a miracle well, and all the village people believe their forefathers are living in that well. The water level will rise each night in this well, but it will go away before the morning. If anyone has any sickness, they would be healed if they drink the water from this well. After he finished telling me about the well, I shared with the people, and told them that Jesus is the living water! He is the true healer! I shared the story of the Samaritan woman who asked for water from Jesus. I told them that this well is only simple water, and God created all these things so we can live in this world, but they are not meant to be worshipped. Later, this man accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior, and invited many people to follow Jesus that day! After a month, all the village people cleaned out the well, and stopped worshiping it! Instead, they only used it for drinking water. Now, I have a Bible study every week in that village!”
