Nani Bai's Witness

Nanibai, Pipalwas – Stood strong in her faith and a testimony in her village
Nanibai comes from a poor family. She believed in idols and witchcraft. She spent large sum of borrowed money to please the witch doctors and earn the favor of their gods.
One day her husband fell sick. She took him to the witch doctors, spent money, and took him to the hospital for treatment but nothing helped. His condition worsened each day despite of all the treatment he received and ultimately he died in his sickness. The cycle of death continued in the family and she lost several other dear ones in the family, one after another. She was very sad and lonely and wondered deep within herself the mystery of death in her family.
A passing evangelist stopped by her house and shared the gospel with her and prayed for her. It was the first time she had ever heard this story. She believed and gave her heart to the Lord. Since then she had to face strong opposition from her village. The villagers and other local heads started persecuting her for her new found faith. She had to pay a punishment fee of Rs. 1000 which was a big sum of money. She was a widow and it was very hard for her to arrange this money. She had to work very hard and save her earnings since there was no excuse for her.
She fell sick and none came near to help her. Even her own children left her alone to die and did not help her. She was completely bed ridden with no one to help her. She says with tears in her eyes, Only God took care of me miraculously and healed me from all my sickness. That is why I love Him so much and I will never leave Him even though none stand with me.
She would come to church secretly on Saturday nights, stay there whole night, attend the Sunday morning service and then leave for home in the evening. She stood alone in her faith but today her family also worships Jesus along with her. Also there are several other believers from her village who have received Jesus into their hearts through miracles, prayer and healing. The whole village is a witness to her miraculous healing.
