Asha

A story from Sherry, who works among immigrants from India, which comprise one of the largest unreached people groups in Canada. 

Asha (not her real name) came to Canada with her husband three years ago and does not speak English. Along with my ministry partner who speaks Asha’s language, we visited Asha several times sharing the Gospel with her before she finally came to faith in Jesus. The three of us continued to meet together until COVID hit and our meetings went online. Asha now knew she had a Savior, Jesus, but struggled every time she prayed. In her former religious life, Asha had encounters with demonic forces through the rituals of her religion. Now, whenever she prayed, she heard voices cursing her, she struggled with nightmares, and she sensed a dark presence in her home. The three of us spent hours online praying together. My Punjabi ministry partner and I began to go through Asha’s story with her, teaching her about her new identity in Christ, praying through many aspects of forgiveness, and taking authority over the evil spirits. We witnessed the Holy Spirit begin to transform her life. Asha has continued to study the Bible and walks in freedom as she prays and worships Jesus Christ.
