Compelled to Read

A story of the transformative power of reading God’s Word.

by Steve
This is Uma. Her husband is a student in the Community Transformation Ministry Seminary. Uma hated her husband because he became a Christian. While growing in his faith at the Seminary, Naya tried to teach his wife the Bible but she refused completely.

But one day, while Naya was at the table reading his Bible, Uma observed him intently. Naya left the house and left his Bible on the table where he had been sitting and reading earlier.  When he left the house she said to herself, “Let me see what this book may contain.”

“It was not easy for me to hold that book,” she recalls, “ but my spirit pushed me to read.”

She kept reading until her husband came home.

She said, “I didn’t know that Jesus was so loving and caring to us!” That evening, she accepted Christ as Lord and Savior. She met the Word of God (Jesus) by reading his Word.

But Uma didn’t stop there. She began to reach out and care for her neighbors. She started a fellowship in her home reaching those far from God right there amongst her neighbors.
“It is because we don’t have Bibles to read, we have missed God’s love,” she says.

Our global partner, Paul, shares this story with us. As he recounts Uma’s story, he says, “Hard copies of the Bible can change a village! It doesn’t matter how hard their hearts may be, God’s love is greater.”
