Bearing Their Scorn


14th June, 2010

Dulari had no illness. She wasn't demon possessed. She witnessed no miracle or deliverance. So what caused her to give up practicing other religions and turn to the one true God?

Dulari was born and brought up in the Muslim faith and performed all her religious duties without fail. But when she married a man from a different religion, she began following after his gods and goddesses. As often as she went to the temples to offer sacrifices to the idols, she still had no peace in her life.

When Gospel for Asia-supported missionaries Sampat Sengupta and Yudhisthir Banerjee came to visit and share the Gospel message with her, she listened carefully to everything they said. By the time the missionaries were finished, Dulari wanted to know more about this God who gave up His Son to die for her sins. Sampat and Yudhisthir gave her some Gospel tracts to read through and told her how she could choose to follow Jesus.

The missionaries came back to visit Dulari often and continued to teach her more about Jesus. The more Dulari learned, the more she realized He was her Savior, and she soon chose to follow Christ. But her family and neighbors disapproved of her newfound faith.

Criticism and contempt became constant in her life. People mocked her. Her in-laws abused her, and her husband threatened to leave her if she did not deny Jesus Christ. Dulari's entire life was turned upside down.

But she bore the pain and agony through prayer, and she stood firm in the Lord. Dulari continued to attend worship services with the missionaries and take part in the church activities.

Dulari asks for prayer for her family, that they will come to know the Lord Jesus as their Savior and that her neighbors will experience the joy of salvation in their lives.
