Ravi has been reading through the book of Acts for over six months with two StuMo staff members. Each time they met, they not only read God’s Word but also shared openly about their struggles, expressed thankfulness, asked honest questions of the text, and challenged one another to apply what they were learning and share it with others.
From the very beginning, Ravi stood out for his faithfulness and his willingness to both obey Scripture and talk about it with people in his life. Occasionally, they were even able to gather a few other local friends along with Ravi to read together.
After they had studied Acts for a while, one StuMo staff member shared an illustration about how Jesus invites believers to multiply their lives spiritually—to invest in others so that His kingdom continues to expand. The conversation ended with a direct invitation to Ravi to join in that mission. He paused thoughtfully, said he’d think about it, and they left it at that.
Two days later, Ravi sent a text that said, “I have been thinking about what you shared. I’m in.”
It was such an encouraging moment. There are many barriers here for local people—not only to embrace Christ but to take ownership of helping expand His kingdom. For Ravi to say “I’m in” was no small thing.
Since that day, Ravi has continued to grow in confidence in the Word and boldness in sharing his faith. Watching his transformation has been a powerful reminder that God’s Word truly does produce lasting fruit in the lives of those who hear and obey.
