After I came to the Lord, God placed a desire for missions in me, though it didn’t happen right away. I didn’t realize that God was always working toward this in my life, even though things both within and beyond my control caused many delays. I made a lot of international friends and I prayed often for different parts of the world. But I still waited for God to give me a specific international mission field.Â
Finally, God connected me with a man from Bangladesh. He was a former Muslim who had been following Christ for about ten years. He was rejected by many, including his parents. He had done training and evangelism through an organization called Cru and was active in many universities and colleges in Bangladesh. I was deeply moved by His passion for serving the Lord. We began to pray together and do Bible studies together through social media. As we did, we began to care deeply for each other and knew that we should serve God together, as the Lord had divinely shown us!
By steps of faith, I came to Bangladesh and we were married! Now we live to serve the Lord, here together in Bangladesh for the Lord’s glory! Praise God for His leading and all His precious promises to us!
God led me to Love God Greatly through the YouVersion Bible devotionals. I discovered that these studies were translated into over 35 languages, and was thrilled! This was great news! I now serve with the Love God Greatly Bengali team, making these studies available in the Bengali language, where they are so desperately needed!
We pray that many women in Bangladesh will find a new passion and love for God and His Word through studying the Bible!
