Raised culturally Hindu, but also occasionally attending church services, Mr Baiju Balan did not hear the gospel until he was 20 years old. Pressured to pray a “prayer for salvation” before he even understood he was lost, Baiju carried on unchanged in his sins. However, a brush with death intervened and, while convalescing, he read the Sermon on the Mount and discovered he was the “chiefest of sinners”. Another person tried to get Baiju to put his name in this and that verse, but to no avail. Finally reading his Bible alone the Holy Spirit opened his eyes to see that when God says “He that believeth hath everlasting life” He means what He says. (Testimony given 12th May 2019)
