Another Unexpected Blessing

Our new brother in Christ
Dr. Udayakumar

Mary & I travelled up to Minneapolis, Minnesota yesterday for an appointment with a doctor at the University of Minnesota, one Dr. Prabhu Udayakumar. We didn't know this man - couldn't even pronounce his name - and visiting a doctor's office, especially a large medical office like UM, is really not on my list of fun things to do. But what an unexpected blessing it was to make his acquaintance!

We went from strangers to brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ in just a few minutes. Without going into details, we felt it was worth the trip just to have to met Dr. Udayakumar. It seems we were an encouragement to this brother, and he was an encouragement to us...the sweet "savour of life unto life" mentioned in 2 Corinthians 2:15-16.

You've got to hear this testimony he gave at a recent birthday celebration for his daughter, at this LINK. A native of India, raised in a traditional Christian home, you will hear how this brother was delivered from "religion" to a relationship with the God of the Universe, the Lord Jesus Christ, being born-again and become a new creature in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17).Wow! I love it.

Pray for our brother and his family as they joyfully live for the Lord Jesus Christ: for encouragement, for the blessings of fellowship with like-minded believers and sound Bible doctrine in a local assembly, and to grow in grace. May God work through him to bring the hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who cross his path. And may that be true for all of us who know and love the Lord. Amen.
