> ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS:
> Kumar, a Christian in South India, was grieved because none of the 13

> night's broadcast.
> Immediately he set about to contact them.
> It wasn't easy. His sister-in-law's family had no phone, so Kumar had to 
> call their neighbor and plead with him to go and bring them to the phone 
> for an
> urgent message. When his brother-in-law, Satish, reached the phone, Kumar 
> asked him and his family to catch a bus to his city as soon as possible. 
> Satish

> that he would reimburse Satish for the tickets.
> Satish consented, and at 4 a.m. he and his family boarded a bus for the 
> long trip to Kumar's house. They arrived at 5 p.m., and an hour later they

> Afterward, Kumar gave his testimony and asked if the others wanted to put

> Further, the company was demanding that the family vacate their

> were all going to commit suicide.
> Now they saw that through Jesus there is hope, and they prayed with Kumar

> several
> more days with Kumar, the family returned home ready to face the future
