“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved - you and your household.”
Acts‬ ‭16‬:‭31‬ ‭

When the head of the family embraces salvation, the ripple of grace can transform the entire household.

OImad ud-din Lahiz, a distinguished Islamic scholar, writer, preacher, and Quranic translator in India whose personal encounter with the gospel sparked a legacy of transformation. On April 29, 1866, he made a bold and heartfelt decision in Amritsar to surrender his life to Jesus Christ. His conversion wasn’t a mere intellectual shift but a deeply spiritual awakening rooted in the pursuit of eternal salvation. What followed was nothing short of miraculous. His wife, five sons, and four daughters also received Christ, their hearts moved by the truth that had changed his. Together, they became a living testimony of a household redeemed, bound not only by blood, but by the shared promise of new life in Christ. He continued his journey of faith through writing and testimony, offering the hope he found to others. His legacy reminds us that when one life is yielded to Christ, generations can be transformed. And when the light of truth enters a home, it can illuminate every heart within it.

Acts 16:31 highlights God's proactive love. Salvation is actively offered, reaching beyond individuals to embrace families, demonstrating God's desire for the salvation of entire households through faith in the Lord Jesus.

“Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.”

“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,”
Isaiah‬ ‭61‬:‭1‬ ‭

In a world crying out for hope, Isaiah 61:1 is both anchor and assignment. It is an unshakable reminder that God’s redemption story is still being written through His people.

Rev. Elisha Satvinder is a visionary co-founder of the Dignity for Children Foundation that champions a mission to break the cycle of poverty through education that nurtures both mind and heart.

His tireless advocacy for the marginalized and his commitment to national transformation reflect the heart of a servant anointed to bring good news to the poor. His calling is not confined to classrooms; it’s embodied in every child whose future has been reclaimed and every community bound together in dignity and compassion. His work echoes the prophetic mantle of Isaiah: to bind the brokenhearted and proclaim liberty to those held captive by poverty and despair.

Isaiah 61:1 is a sacred summons - calling believers to move with compassion, act with justice, and love with unshakable courage. It affirms that in every shadow of brokenness, God sees, God moves, and God sends. Through the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit, we are commissioned to be His hands and feet in a hurting world.

“So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.”
Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭35‬-‭36‬ ‭

God’s promises are not mere words, they are the reward for a life of faithful obedience marked by courageous choices and unwavering trust through trial. It’s a life that clings to love and God’s will, no matter the cost.

Ben (not his real name), a new believer in Afghanistan, encountered this truth in harrowing ways. After joyfully embracing Christ, he was brutally beaten by his family members. Left to die in a hospital, he fled for his life and sought refuge among a small house church in Kabul. For a moment, he found fellowship and hope. But that sanctuary was soon shattered by a Taliban raid. His pastor was murdered before his eyes. Friends were lost. And Ben’s own family, betraying his conversion, handed him over to the very forces that hunted him. What followed was nothing short of a miracle. Through a daring rescue by the nonprofit Shai Fund that meticulously planned his escape, navigating Taliban checkpoints with military precision to get him onto a plane to safety. His journey was marked by unthinkable hardship: physical trauma, betrayal, the grief of loss, and the unrelenting threat of death. Yet his endurance fuelled by faith never wavered. Ben’s story is a living testimony of courage, conviction, and the cost of true discipleship.

Hebrews 10:35–36 reminds us that unwavering faith is not without its trial and purpose. In seasons of hardship, we are called to stand firm, confident that our perseverance is seen by God. The promise He has prepared is not only certain, it’s worth every moment of the wait.

“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.”
1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭10‬ ‭

Every trial becomes a sacred opportunity for God to shape, strengthen, and prepare His people for His eternal glory.

Pastor Wang Yi, the founding pastor of Early Rain Covenant Church in Chengdu, China, exemplifies unwavering faith in the face of adversity. Once a respected legal scholar and human rights lawyer, he felt a divine calling to full-time ministry. Despite knowing the risks, he dedicated his life to serving God and his church, boldly advocating for religious freedom. His commitment led to arrest, imprisonment, and hardship but his faith remained unshaken. His powerful “Declaration of Faithful Disobedience”, written before his arrest, stands as a testament to his steadfast devotion and willingness to suffer for his beliefs. 

1 Peter 5:10 assures us that suffering is a divine process through which God Himself restores, strengthens, and establishes His people. In His hands, pain becomes a pathway to purpose, and trials become the training ground for triumph.
