That all changed after Eha was in an accident. Cutting firewood in the jungle one day, Eha was suddenly bit by a snake. He managed to make it home and was given treatment, but the pain did not diminish. He had no way to get to the hospital to receive more aid. Then Eha’s wife went to a Bridge of Hope center and asked the staff members to come to their house and pray for her husband’s healing. God heard their prayers, and the next day, Eha shared some exciting news with the Bridge of Hope staff: Not only was he healed from his unbearable pain, but he and his entire family were choosing to follow Jesus. Nobody knew why 11-month-old Charu Patel’s hands would at times go limp. There was no diagnosis for this baby girl’s peculiar sickness, leaving her parents and doctors very confused. Her parents finally realized she must be demon-possessed. Seeking help, they brought her to a village fellowship led by Gospel for Asia-supported missionary Sharan Sen. Although they believed in the traditional gods and goddesses of their village, the family still attended the fasting and prayer service, hoping that God would heal their daughter. By the grace of God and through the prayers of the believers and pastor that day, little Charu was finally delivered from the evil spirit that was making her sick. Because of this miracle, her entire family has chosen to follow Jesus Christ and is part of the fellowship of believers in their village. 20 | send! | www.gfa.org
