A wonderful story from India!

This is a picture of Lillian, the author of the following story, with Prem, her husband. Gypsy Meadows, the WCS Field Director for India is with them.

Several years ago, one of our Mullai School children was walking along with her mother on a village track. The mother saw a fruit lying on the ground and was about to pick it up. But the child told her mother not to do it. The mother was surprised because it is very common for any villager to pluck peanuts, sugarcane, mangoes or anything from farms that not their own but are on their way.
The Mother asked, "Why not?".
The child explained that we should not take anything that does not belong to us.
Mother was all the more amazed and asked her child, "Who told you that?".
The child replied, "Our teacher taught us that."
The mother started wondering, if the teacher is so holy, how much more holy shall be the God of the teacher!
Subsequently, the mother of the child met Lilian and eventually she was lead to the saving grace of Jesus Christ!
This lady is now one of the believers of the local church which Prem pastors. The child, too, is attending Sunday School and growing up spiritually.
We need you to pray for the father of this child, who is still opposed to the ways of the Lord.

Lilian

We surely will pray for them and also thank God for the work of our partners, Lillian and Prem.
