> ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS:
> Kumar, a Christian in South India, was grieved because none of the 13 
> people he had invited came to watch a Billy Graham evangelistic broadcast 
> at his home
> on December 23rd. He began to pray, and around 9 p.m. he felt God 
> compelling him to invite his wife's sister's family to watch the next 
> 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
> said he had no money. Kumar encouraged him to borrow the money and said 
> 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 
> watched
> the My Hope telecast from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. 
> Afterward, Kumar gave his testimony and asked if the others wanted to put 
> their faith
> in Christ. They were all looking at one another, and Kumar wondered what 
> they were thinking. Then Satish, noticeably distressed, stood and 
> explained that
> he had lost his job because the tea factory that he worked for had closed. 
> Further, the company was demanding that the family vacate their 
> company-owned
> house. Seeing no hope, the family had decided that on December 25 they 
> were all going to commit suicide.
> Now they saw that through Jesus there is hope, and they prayed with Kumar 
> to accept Christ. Satish said he felt like a new man, and, after staying 
> several
> more days with Kumar, the family returned home ready to face the future 
> with Christ.
