“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.” – Matthew 5:6 (NKJV)
In Bangladesh, the Bengali language carries the hope of the gospel to millions. Despite challenges like poverty and natural disasters, God’s Word is bringing spiritual renewal and hope to individuals and families. Today, we rejoice in how the gospel is transforming lives across this vibrant nation. The resilience of Bengali believers showcases the hope and renewal found in Christ through His Word. His story is also an example of how Radio Home Groups serve as a vital tool in spreading the gospel and building faith communities in Bangladesh. Sotten Roy’s journey from doubt to faith is a powerful reminder of how God reveals His healing power and transforms lives through the gospel.
Bengali, one of the world’s most spoken languages, is deeply tied to Bangladesh’s culture and identity. Poetry, music, and storytelling play a significant role in the spiritual lives of Bengali Christians, enriching their worship and understanding of God’s Word. These cultural traditions align beautifully with the narrative style of THRU the BIBLE, making its teachings relatable and impactful. Programs like THRU the BIBLE provide valuable resources to nurture faith and offer encouragement amid life’s trials. Through these broadcasts, listeners like Sotten are learning to trust in God’s ability to meet their spiritual and physical needs, strengthening their faith in His promises. These broadcasts provide a lifeline for those facing the dual challenges of poverty and natural disasters, reminding them of God’s unchanging promises.
A powerful story from a Bengali listener:
“My name is Sotten Roy. I am a Radio Home Group leader. I was suffering from physical illness for a long time and I have tried many treatments for my healing except depending and put faith in God. Because I did not believe that God can heal me. Listening the media kit, I came to know that He could heal me from all kind of disease. Since then, I have continued to pray believing that He could heal me from my disease. And now, by His grace and mercy I am completely healed from my sickness. Thanks to almighty God that he revealed Himself to me.”
Sotten’s testimony highlights the transformative impact of faith, showing how God works through challenges to bring healing and spiritual growth to His people. To God be the glory for the spiritual renewal spreading through Bangladesh!
Closing Reflection:
Let’s thank God for filling the hearts of Bengali believers with His righteousness and love, as seen in the story of Sotten Roy, and for using His Word to inspire both healing and spiritual growth. May His Word continue to inspire and strengthen the church in Bangladesh, drawing many more to faith in Christ.
