An Act of Kindness and New Life
Gospel for Asia-supported pastor Jaival lived near Sani. He had
been ministering in her community for two years and hosted worship
services in three different locations. Because Jaival lived near to
Sani, he often spoke to her about the love of Christ.
Sani had always followed her traditional religion, but
gradually, as Pastor Jaival continued to share with her, Sani began to
understand the love of Christ. She attended prayer meetings held at
Pastor Jaival’s house. She grew to know Jesus personally and chose to
accept His free gift of love and acceptance.
Though she found new life in the Lord, Sani and her sons still
struggled for daily survival on the meager earnings they labored for.
More Than a Christmas Present
Pastor Jaival, well aware of Sani’s needs, placed her name as a
recipient for a Christmas gift distribution. It was through this
distribution that Sani received another gift that would change her life:
a sewing machine.
The gift was a perfect fit. Sani had previous tailoring
experience, so she went right to work stitching clothes. Her income
increased, enabling Sani to provide for her family and better manage
their needs. Sani could even send her youngest son to school!
