"Silpa’s Transformation: Discovering Jesus in Her Own Language"

Silpa Chaudhary, a student from Dhangadhi, connected with us through our Video and began interacting. She was amazed to hear Jesus' name in her own Tharu language. Initially, she thought of Jesus as a fictional character and a foreign god. However, connecting with Rakesh, who speaks Tharu, was a turning point for her. Seeing Jesus accepted by her own people group changed her perspective. This integration of sow online harvest offline led to her salvation and acceptance of the Gospel. Silpa shared with Rakesh, "I used to think Jesus was always a foreign god, but now I feel He is for me too." Praise the Lord!
