Together in HIS Service (Joshua 24:15)

-

Reena and I were born and brought up in Hindu Family. We never had an idea that what would be ahead for us. In July 2009, I met Reena at Christ Church, Kullu and we had a small conversation, just a greetings. In that day, I had no idea that She had been facing opposition because of her faith in Christ.

I was an evangelist serving among the Nepalis people in Kullu. She was a believer who attend a house fellowship in Patlikulah nearby her village Katrain. My friends and well wishers were looking for a suitable girl for me whom I might marry. I had never even thought about her (Reena) to marry, but God's ways are different than ours (Isaiah 55:8).

In HIS perfect time, the Lord arranged our marriage so beautifully, although her parents who are Hindus, were not happy for this marriage. But they didn't oppose or hinder us to marry. On 13th Nov. 2010 we got married in Christ Church at Kullu in a simple way. We had no enough money to go for some distant places for honeymoon. Our Mission Field, Raison was our honeymoon spot, where we began our life together with few utensils. We praise God for being with us thus far. Today when I see back, there are much things to miss, but we both are thankful to HIM, who weaved our life beautifully.

At present, we are serving our Savior Lord Jesus Christ together among Asomiya Gurkhalis - An Unreached People Group, in Assam to bring them in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ and plant the churches among them.

Would you pray for us?

Soli Deo Gloria!

Indian women especially Hindus have custom to wearing a round, red mark between the eyebrows. Generally, it is called ‘ Bindi’ in Hindi, which derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Bindu’ meaning ‘point’ or ‘dot’. It is called different names in different states i.e. ‘phot’ in Assam, ‘ Pottu’  or ‘ Kunkuma’  in Tamilnadu,  ‘ Netri’  or  Tilakam' in Kerala, ‘ Kunkoo’ or ‘Tikali’ in Maharastra, ‘ Tilakam’  in Andhra Pradesh, ‘ Bottu’  in Karnataka and so on and in Nepal, it is called ‘ Tika’ . The application of the ‘Bindi’ is common amongst Hindu women in other countries like in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Bali. It is often an essential part of a Hindu woman make-up. Most of Christian ministers prohibit its use for Christian women. It is still in debate that is it appropriate to use for church going believers. Before going to any conclusion, we need to understand its religious, social and cultural significance. RELIGIOUS SIGNIFICANCE...

“… Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, and you are mine.” (Isaiah 43:1) I am Reena Devi Khatri from Kullu, Himachal Pradesh. I was born and brought up in a Hindu family. My aunty Mrs. Prem Devi, who worked in Manali Mission Hospital till her retirement, is the first believer in our family. She used to come to us and to share about Jesus Christ. While I was 12 years old, I began to attend a house fellowship which was being conducted in nearby our village in Patlikulha. But my father opposed me to go there. That’s why I faced opposition even from my relatives.  I used to go fellowship for Sunday service without telling to my family. Today whenever I look at back, I surprised that how I was able to stand firm during my teenage. I thank God for HIS abounding grace and extravagant love towards me.  While I was studying in 10 th Class, I came in the touch with two sisters – Miss Esther and Beulah Abraham, who are working as missionary teacher i...
