“On 26 September 1867, the pioneers of the Santal Mission knelt by a stone in the middle of the mission compound of Benagaria and dedicated their lives to serve the Lord among the people of India. That was 145 years ago and the stone is still there. Pastor Hans Borresen of Denmark and a Norwegian linguist named Lars Skrefsrud came in their wanderings to Benagaria and found a nice place that would be suitable for a mission station. They set about learning the Santali language and witnessed to the people. Two years later, in 1869, the first believers were baptized.” In 2012 when this article was written for the World Mission Prayer League, there were 85,000 Christians there. The woman whom God raised up to pray for Lars also prayed for me. Learn more about her in today’s podcast.
The mighty one, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
Psalm 50:1
Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.
Mark 16:15
Almighty God, there is such good news to share. Thank you for summoning people throughout the world to hear and receive the gift of salvation. Sometimes I keep my faith to myself. Please provide me the opportunities and inner strength to share your message. From sunrise to sunset, make my life a powerful witness. Amen.
