De God die de toegewijden redt

From Ritual to Relationship

Gopal was a respected Hindu priest, trained from a young age to lead others in temple worship. He had memorized chants, performed rituals with precision, and earned the reverence of his community. Yet behind the disciplined devotion, Gopal carried a deep spiritual emptiness—a silence that the gods never seemed to answer.

Searching for truth, he turned to Islam and began reading the Qur’an. There, he encountered Isa Masiha (Jesus the Messiah), and something stirred in his heart. Drawn by curiosity and longing, he began reading the Bible and discovered a God who spoke with love, compassion, and truth.

The peace he’d been missing came not through rituals, but through a relationship. Gopal surrendered his life to Jesus, and everything changed. Today, he is a bold pastor, preaching Christ where he once burned incense to idols. His heart now burns with a different fire—one of love for the lost and joy in the One who saved him.

We pray for many more like Gopal—those deeply devoted, yet longing for the living God.

God SAVES.

Turning from tradition takes courage—but finding truth changes everything. Gopal’s story reminds us that even those once devoted to false gods can be transformed by the living God. But what happens when a heart full of hostility meets the message of Jesus? On the next page, we meet someone who once rejected Christ with aggression—until an unexpected encounter shattered his resistance.

How Can We

PRAY?

Pray for Hindu priests, gurus, and religious leaders who are searching in silence. Ask that Jesus would send believers into their lives who can lovingly share the truth and walk with them in their spiritual journey.

Pray for Brahmin leaders across society to have a curiosity and search for truth and meaning. Pray for social media and online information, that the Holy Spirit will reveal who Jesus is and many people will be able to become devotees of Jesus.

“You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.” Jeremia 29:13
