The People Living In Darkness Have Seen A Great Light
A report of my journey to witness the work of Brother Esudas Bontha in Narasaraopet, Andra Pradesh, India from June 7-9, 2013.

I have seen and bear witness before Almighty God the honest and intense effort of Brother Esudas Bontha as he strives to lift his people from the darkness of sin and ignorance into the glorious light of Christ. I encourage you to visit him as I did, and guarantee that he will literally wear you out in the service of God. We, the citizens of the United States, are so incredibly wealthy and materially blessed that we are nearly blind to the reality of these people and most of those like them around the world. We are the ultra-rich. Even the poorest of us would be a wealthy man in Narasaraopet. Can we sit on our luxuries and ignore this great work? Can we watch as our ever bigger barns overflow with stuff while our brothers in Christ struggle mightily against ignorance and error in poverty and great need?

Brief Overview Of Mission Trip To India
James Jamison, Elder, Sunset church of Christ, Nashville AR
Joe Martin and myself (James Jamison) , elders at the Sunset Church of Christ, made the long trip to India to see the school building and observe the evangelistic work. Following a 20+ hour plane ride and a 4.5 hour car ride, we arrived at the Bontha home completely exhausted. After visiting with the family and eating a meal, we retired early evening in preparation for the coming days.
The following days were a whirlwind of activity, some planned by Brother Esudas and some spontaneous. The first day was spent at the Indian Christian School, observing not only the facility itself but the day to day operation. We were there from the time the first school bus arrived until the children departed. We were able to sit in on many of the classes that were equipped with all the modern technology of American schoolrooms. The 1st thing I noticed was the overall desire of the students to learn, school was not deemed a requirement but a privilege to be taken advantage of. Brother Esudas and his son Chanti taught the bible classes; every student, every day received instruction in God’s Word.

My Visit And Work With Bontha
Esudas In India

Bontha Esudas and I have been friends on Facebook for many years. This is how I learned of his effective work with orphans, teaching the illiterates, and preaching the gospel in the Narasaraopet, India area. In 2011 I learned of his forth coming visit to the USA to speak in a series of gospel meetings. I invited him to visit with me in my home
in Henderson, Tennessee, because I wanted to know more about him and his work in India. He spent two days and nights with me. The talk was non-stop, because it was difficult for me to understand how one man could be involved in such a wonderful array of good works for the Lord.
