> 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.
