Sharing Hope in India’s Assamese Communities

January 23, 2025

The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit. –Psalm 34:18

Assam, in northeastern India, is known for its tea gardens and natural beauty. Yet, many Assamese people live in spiritual darkness, yearning for the hope that only Jesus provides. Today, we celebrate how the gospel is spreading through Assamese broadcasts, reaching even the most remote villages with the life-giving truth of God’s Word.

Assamese culture values simplicity, with traditions rooted in farming and local art forms. The gospel’s message resonates deeply in these communities, where the longing for hope and connection is strong. Programs like THRU the BIBLE in Assamese play a pivotal role in bringing God’s truth to people who otherwise have limited access to spiritual resources.

A powerful story from an Assamese listener:

“In 2024, I received a Radio Home Kit and began listening to the Bible study program in the Rathvi language. Being illiterate, I cannot read the Bible, but this Bible study program has given me a deep understanding of the Lord's promises. Every Friday, we gather as a group and listen to these teachings together and learn more about His Word. We are very thankful for this wonderful opportunity.”

This listener’s story highlights the transformative power of God’s Word in reaching those who hunger for His truth. Even in regions where literacy is low, the gospel is opening hearts and drawing people closer to Christ.

Let’s lift up Assamese communities and ask God to draw the brokenhearted to Himself. May His Word continue to bring hope and renewal to those seeking Him, transforming lives one heart at a time.

Prayer Points:

  • Pray for the gospel to spread to unreached villages in Assam.
  • Ask for God’s strength for missionaries and pastors serving in this region.
  • Thank Him for the growing impact of THRU the BIBLE broadcasts in Assamese.
