November Focus: South Asian Peoples Affinity

Two thousand years ago, in a dusty desert town in Samaria, Jesus met a woman at the well in desperate need of the good news of His love and grace. She went into town and told everyone she saw, “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” (John 4:29).

Two thousand years later, a South Asian woman carried her water pitcher to the village well. She couldn’t read or write, but in her free hand, she held those same words of life that Jesus shared tucked away in an Ek Rasta SD card in her phone. Six other women gathered around her at the well. In her society’s caste system, they would be considered outcasts — poor, rural and uneducated. 

That day at the well, though, the six women listened to Bible stories, and learned they were precious in the eyes of God. Though none professed faith, they listened attentively. International Mission Board missionaries Brooks and Julia West are thankful for the boldness of their believing friend who shared God’s Word. They ask you to pray for the Word of God to take root in the women’s hearts.

The lady, though already a believer, had grown in her faith and understanding of the gospel by listening to Bible stories on the same SD cards. Her people are often viewed as an animistic, remote, tribal people. While many now practice Hinduism, historically, their animistic beliefs made them unlike the majority of her countrymen that are predominantly Hindu. The Wests have been living among them since 2019, and their heart is to bring hope to these people in an area forgotten by the rest of their society.
