Called to Minister in 5th Grade!
Natraj was born into a Hindu family that worshiped spirits in the woods. But
when he was in the 5th grade, our Life of Christ film came to his village.
It changed his life! And at that moment, Natraj knew his destiny was tied up
with our Life of Christ film and becoming a film team leader himself.
As soon as he graduated from high school, he came to ministry headquarters
with just a few cents in his pocket, and no luggage. He was giving his life
to missions!
God's seed reaped a mighty harvest in this young man's life! This one young
person touched by Christ has now reached thousands more.
Today, Natraj is a dynamic leader who coordinates two southern Indian states
for Dayspring teams. He has personally shown our Life of Christ film over 150
times to more than 75,000 people. He also finished his bachelor's degree.In fact, during the week of his final exams, Dayspring founder John Gilman was
in India, and Natraj was determined to accompany John to film showings each
night. So every day he drove 80 miles to his exams, then drove back to minister
every evening with John in the villages.
John reports that in one village of stonecutters, alcoholism was prevalent
and despair filled the air. But over 700 people turned out to watch the film,
and Natraj led many to the Lord.
"It was easy to hear the delight in his voice and see the joy in his eyes
to be here for these precious people," John says. "Our Life of Christ
film made the difference for him, and now he is thrilled to be making the difference
for others." A church was born in that village that night. God uses the
film to reach everyone - from old grandparents to young children - and now He
is extending the outreach by making missionaries of those who were first reached
by the film. Pray that God will raise up even more like Natraj.
You may never know the far-reaching impact of a single seed touched by Christ.
