In Rajasthan, Pastor Dinesh Shur is witnessing a mighty move of God among his people. He admitted that he was initially hesitant to return to his community after a decade of service in the big city.

A tribe in India is abandoning witchcraft, occult practices, and sinfulness to accept Jesus. Hundreds of Hindus are turning to Christ as revival sweeps through their small town.

Pastor Dinesh told CBN News, “I was like Jonah in the Bible. I didn’t want to live in my village. I wanted to serve God in the city where things are easier.”

He continued, “I wanted to reach others with the gospel, not my own people.

“The transformation is almost immediate. Families stop praying to their ancestors, they stop drinking, they stop their witchcraft practices. Their entire life is turned upside down when they accept Jesus.”

Presently, they have established 42 house prayer groups in 22 villages, with 32 church workers traveling from village to village to spread the Gospel of Christ. Over the past decade, the Bhil tribe has been a significant part of the 300,000 believers in Indian communities.

One of the testimonies that led many to Jesus is the story of Jeevani Karadi. The 65-year-old church leader was once a mentally unstable woman wandering the streets.

However, after receiving prayer from Pastor Dinesh, she was healed and transformed. Encountering Jesus, she now leads a thriving church in their community. Jeevani’s miraculous healing astonished many in the village, leading most of them to believe in Jesus.
