“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” -Ephesians 2:8,9

No Longer a Slumdog
I recently finished reading "No Longer a Slumdog" by K.P. Yohannan. It's a collection of stories of lives that have been changed by Gospel for Asia, who's mission is to spread the word of Jesus Christ with lost men, women, and children throughout Asia. Prior to reading the book, I was somewhat familiar with the caste system of the Hindus, but didn't realize the oppression of the lowest class or "Slumdogs".
The book prompted me to watch the 2008 film "Slumdog Millionaire", directed by Danny Boyle and Loveleen Tandin. Wow, what a powerful film and follow-up to the book!! I felt compelled to invite family over and share the situation with them in the hope of bringing awareness and opening hearts to pray.
You can request a free copy of No Longer a Slumdog here. I pray that your heart may be opened to the people of Asia and that you will join me in prayer for a spiritual breakthrough there.
