Indian Church of Christ - Bangalore

Aunty Sarojini has been an inspiring example for all of us. She lives in Mumbai. She is 62 and is a disciple since 1993. She lives with her husband who is not a disciple. In spite of her many struggles, she has been a great inspiration throughout her life. Faithful in reaching out to the lost, she has been fruitful for 12 times. Last year she became fruitful twice.

One evening, as was the practice of Aunty Sarojini to spend time with other disciples, she was getting with another sister in a common sitting area in her apartment. As they were talking, one of the ladies sitting near overheard the conversation and understood that they are from a Church, initiated conversation with Aunty, and aunty invited her to come over to the Bible Talk. This is Mrs. Leela Nair, from a very traditional Christian background. She had got married to a gentleman of another faith and so this kept her away from attending any Church for over 30 years. After the death of her husband she moved to live with her son who lives in the same apartment where aunty Sarojini lives. She was looking for a true Church and eager to get back her relationship with God. Inspired by the life of aunty Sarojini and understanding the Scriptures, Mrs. Leela Nair believed in Christ and got baptized.

This story of perseverance by aunty Sarojini inspired us all. She has been reaching out to old neighbor and friend for many years, Mrs. Lingeshwari. They lost touch as they moved out from their homes. After over 20 years, aunty Sarojini came to know of her living in deprived conditions. Though aunty tried to look for her she could not find her. Through her daughters she finally traced her and found her suffering from paralyses and bed-ridden after a major stroke. Aunty Sarojini reached out to her and she also became a disciple in December last year
