Jimmy (India)

Meet Jimmy

Jimmy witnessed God change his dad from a violent drunkard to a Christ follower. He hated the new way of his father and ridiculed him. Jimmy and the rest of his family were Catholic. Jimmy started attending a Bible-believing church and could tell there was something different about it. Jimmy started reading the Bible and one day he personally encountered Christ. Jimmy talks about weeping over his sins that day. Jimmy describes what it’s like to personally know Jesus – rather than simply know about him as in the Catholic tradition. Jimmy is now passionate about helping other people in India know the Lord Jesus Christ. His prayer is that India would become a Christian country who could worship God together.
