I, the convert

In India the general mass has a misconceived idea that people who ‘convert’ to Christianity are those in lower sector of the society and they do it for monetary and other benefits. The Christian missionaries and organizations are accused of converting people to their religion by luring them using such measures as food, education and better life. But people often forget that it is not just the lower class of the society which embraces Christian faith. From what I have seen in past 4 years after coming to the Christian faith; I understand that it is easy to approach a poor or needy person with gospel because he is greatly dissatisfied with his present life and is longing for a divine intervention. A person enjoying the upper class life may be running after a lot of things finding less or no time for God. But God’s love is equally there for all of us.

I came across this article in the Outlook magazine last week. It contains the testimony of Anand Mahadevan the editor of Outlook Business and many other people who were ready to take the risk for their faith. It inspired me. Please check these two links.

Yours, Faithfully:

I too came from a non Christian family and had to go through much trouble because of my faith. I will share these in my blog ‘christianroad’. I will publish this once I have put down enough things.
