Reviving Health and Blooming Faith: Gospel for Asia Pastor Brings Jesus Well to Village

WILLS POINT, TX — Gospel for Asia (GFA World and affiliates like Gospel for Asia Canada) founded by Dr. K.P. Yohannan — Discussing the acute dangers of not having access to clean and safe water, and the Gospel for Asia Jesus Wells that brought health and the hope of Jesus.

In the midst of Asian farmland, villagers toiled under the sweltering heat of the sun. After a long, tiring day in the fields cultivating potatoes and green chilies, the diligent farmers refreshed themselves with a glass of murky water. Their drinking water often led to sickness, but there was no other choice.

Meeting the Obvious Need

This is Pastor Turag with his wife and children. God has used Pastor Turag to change people’s lives and rescue them from waterborne illness.

Gospel for Asia pastor Turag was like the daily laborers in many ways. He too, grew up working alongside his parents in the fields. He lived knowing about Christ but having no relationship with God. It wasn’t until a missionary shared Revelation 3:20 with him years earlier that he began living for Christ. Now, as he stepped foot in the new village the Lord had called him to serve, he had no idea the ways God was going to use his life.

When Pastor Turag considered the struggling state of the villagers and the polluted water they drank and used for cooking and bathing, God’s love and burden grew inside him. Bad water was their consistent trial. Seeing the tremendous need, Turag quickly made a request to his leaders for a Jesus Well to be drilled.

While he waited for the Jesus Well to be approved and installed, Pastor Turag encouraged the people of the village and built relationships and prayed with them.

By the grace of God, a Jesus Well was installed with John 4:13–14 inscribed on the plaque. The doors to Christ’s love opened in a new way. The practical gift helped the villagers lives and they would never be the same. They were so grateful.
