Gospel for Asia-Supported Pastor Witnesses Diseased Hands Now Praising the Lord
WILLS POINT, TX — Gospel for Asia (GFA World and affiliates like Gospel for Asia Canada) founded by Dr. K.P. Yohannan — Discussing Biju whose peaceful life was interrupted after being diagnosed with leprosy, and the Gospel for Asia-supported pastor who shared the healing and love of God.
Biju loved his peaceful life in the rural farmland of his family. He grew up devoted to the traditional gods of former generations and passed on this heritage to his three children. His family was not rich, but they were happy.
Biju’s peaceful life was marred when he started to notice an odd feeling in his fingers. He ignored the strange sensations and continued to work hard on his farm. As time went by, the sensations became more frequent. Eventually — when his fingers became permanently numb — Biju knew he could no longer ignore the problem. At the hospital, Biju was diagnosed with leprosy.
After Biju was diagnosed, the worry he shook off before became a permanent resident. Fear crept in when the medications the doctors prescribed did not help Biju. He became more and more desperate, seeking the help of witch doctors and shrines in the hope of a cure. As a last resort, Biju traveled abroad for an expensive treatment, but the efforts were useless. After spending a small fortune, Biju returned home and lost all hope of recovery. He spent his days contemplating the hardship of spending the rest of his life in a leprosy colony.
One day, a visitor came to Biju’s home to tell him about another possible cure. Biju listened to the visitor share about a pastor in a nearby village who had prayed for people with ailments and many of them got healed. The visitor urged Biju to go see the pastor, declaring Biju would surely be healed through prayer. This went against every conviction Biju held dear and trained his children in, but as he thought over the many places he had visited for healing, he realized he could not reject this final hope for a normal life. Weary and willing to try anything, he decided he would visit the pastor just once for prayer.
