Police Officers Hear about Jesus

by News Release : Mar 29, 2009 : Gospel for Asia, ASSIST News

This message (of the Good News) touched the policemen's hearts. They gave Mehul permission to stay in the village and continue working.

(India)—Instead of convincing Gospel for Asia-supported missionary Mehul Om to leave their town, several policemen left his house having heard of Jesus' love for the first time.

In November 2008, Mehul and his family moved to a village dominated by people opposed to Christianity. Because of their local law, he felt called to serve those villagers even though it meant great risk to himself. Because of the local law, he even had to register with the police because he was a minister and a newcomer to the village. (GFA File Photo)

But his presence there made some of the vocal anti-Christians nervous. At the end of his first year there, they went to the police and filed false accusations against him.

Several officers showed up at Mehul's door to investigate. Not finding any proof against Mehul, they advised him to move away from the village for his own safety. But instead of being discouraged, Mehul took the opportunity to share the Good News with the policemen.

This message touched the policemen's hearts. They gave Mehul permission to stay in the village and continue working.

Mehul did stay, and now he is praying for the police officers to know Christ personally.

Mehul asks for prayer that the Lord will protect him in this dangerous area, and that nothing will hinder people from learning [about] Jesus.
