This man has translated for me several times in the past, but I never heard his story. He lived in the SW corner of Bihar State where there were no Christians, no churches.
He heard the Gospel from a radio program! That was all it took. He immediately became a follower of Jesus. An agency somewhere sent him a Bible. He started telling his friends about the Gospel. He knew that baptism was the step to take, but he didn't know any ministers.
Finally he heard of one in Calcutta and wrote him asking him to come and baptize. When the minister came, he had 64 people to baptize!
Mrityunjah stayed there a few more years and planted six churches!
Now he is on the staff of BORN, the mission agency where I was teaching this week. He has a sweet quiet spirit, but obviously he has a great amount of zeal.
