The Vision of Sadhu Sunder Singh
SadhuSundarSingh
Years ago, I spent some time in Punjab. Both my friend and I visited a place called Patiala. The purpose of our journey was to visit the house and the village of Sadhu Sunder Singh.
Sadhu Sunder Singh was a young man who used to tear and burn copies of the Gospels, one who dishonored the name of Jesus. He was a very intelligent youngster who was the son of the richest man in that area. He had everything according to the world’s standards, but he could not find happiness and peace in his life.
He concluded that the solution for all his problems was death, and he decided to end his life. He picked out a railroad track where he would do it. That night on his bed, he was crying and talking to himself. “God,” he prayed, “if peace exists anywhere in this world, you have to give it to me. If don’t get peace before dawn, I am going to commit suicide.”
He could not sleep that night; he was tossing and turning in his bed. Suddenly in the silence of night, his room was filled with a divine light. He heard the voice of Jesus, whom he used to hate, saying, “Sunder Singh, I am the way, the truth and the life. And I love you.”
He was confronted with the truth that day. “Jesus lives for me. Only through Him can I achieve forgiveness; no other name in this world is above his name.” Sunder Singh believed in Him. He became a servant of God. He became a testimony to the Lord throughout the whole world. For all the problems and needs in your life, Jesus Christ is the solution and the path.
The Name of Jesus Can Deliver You
The biggest sin in this world is rejecting God. We will be thrown in to hell when we don’t have a relationship with God. When you reject God, alcohol, drugs, anxiety and greed will start to influence your life and make you depressed. But even if these things happen, or you are under the power of the demon possession, the name of Jesus can deliver you.
Even when we often get many of the things which we wish and pray for, we still don’t give ourselves completely to God. We live in pain, misery and hopelessness. God gives many rights to the person who believes in Jesus Christ. Our life will be purposeful when we understand this.

K.P. Yohannan ( - Present)
Dr. K.P. Yohannan, the Metropolitan Bishop of Believers Church, was born and brought up in Niranam, Kerala. Niranam has immense historical significance in the tradition of Saint Thomas, a disciple of Jesus Christ who planted the first church there in AD 52. K.P. Yohannan dedicated his life to God at a young age to serve the needy and downtrodden. He prayed, “Oh my Lord, let my heart break with the things that break Your heart” and his life was never the same. It’s his belief that one can only demonstrate God’s love by loving people. After over four decades of selfless service, he says, I have no regrets in praying that prayer for I know God has touched millions through what He did in and through me. It is all God’s grace.He spent the early years of his service in North India and traveled to the remote villages sharing the love of Christ and doing charitable works. Through numerous encounters during those years, he was instilled with an increasing passion to bring hope, peace, and comfort to the needy and deprived. His sacrificial commitment, farsightedness and aptitude to perceive helped him to lead a life of unhindered devotion to serve Christ and His church. K.P. Yohannan is also the voice of Athmeeya Yathra, touching millions through his daily radio and TV broadcasts. His 250 books offer practical and spiritual guidance on hundreds of subjects.

K.P. Yohannan is the founder and president of Gospel for Asia, a mission organization involved in evangelism and church planting in the unreached regions of Asia. Currently Gospel for Asia supports thousands of church planters in the heart of the 10/40 window.
Born in a remote village of South India, K.P. Yohannan's personal journey toward spiritual reality began at the age of eight when he gave his heart to Christ. While he was still a young boy, his mother began fasting each week, praying God would call one of her six sons into full-time gospel ministry. Her prayers were answered in 1966 when 16 year-old K.P., her youngest, volunteered to serve in North India with Operation Mobilization.
From 1974 to 1979 K.P. attended Criswell Bible College in Dallas, Texas, where he earned his B.A. in Biblical Studies. He was also awarded an honorary doctor of divinity degree from Hindustan Bible College in Madras, India. During the time he attended Criswell, he pastored a local church in Dallas. However, he was unable to forget the millions still lost without Christ in his homeland of India, and knew God was calling him to reach his own people. In 1978 K.P. resigned his pastorate and he and his wife, Gisela, organized what is now Gospel for Asia.
