Pastor's Intervention Stops Man from Committing Suicide

Sudhakar was looking for a good place to kill himself, wandering on the mountainside, carrying a piece of rope. Having cancer gave him unbearable pain. No relief had come from what medicine he could afford with his limited finances. No relief had come from appealing to Hindu gods and goddesses. He knew of only one other way to end his suffering.

But he happened to meet another man on the mountainside, a pastor making his way toward a nearby village. The pastor, learning about Sudhakar’s suffering and what the rope was for, prayed for him and told him the good news of the gospel. Sudhakar was comforted by the prayer and responded to the gospel by giving his life to the Lord. Now he has a hope with which to carry on living.
