About thirteen years ago, Mr. C* had a quarrel with his brother over land. Mr. C became angry, killed his brother, and served a twelve-year jail sentence. He was released just a few months ago. For twelve years, Mr. C has carried the guilt of his crime and repented, but he didn’t know how to relieve the burden on his heart. Because Mr. C was a devout Hindu, he tried to follow all the rules for atonement of sins according to Hinduism. But he did not find peace of mind. Last week, Mr. C met one of our volunteers. Mr. C read the gospel literature thoroughly and learned that Jesus died on the cross for his sins. When he understood this truth, he started weeping. After crying for a long time, he felt at peace in his mind. He realized that only Jesus can free him from this sin. That’s when he gave up everything else in which he had sought peace and accepted the Lord Jesus as his Savior. He regularly attends the local church, reads the Bible, prays, and participates in a Christ Group. He testifies loudly to others that he has been born again through the Lord Jesus.
