Everyday when we returned from in the town or city, we walked down this road to the house where we were staying. The Pastor’s family owned a home in this village, and whenever he came to the area he would say hello and talk with the nearby families. He was planting seeds.

This woman would sometimes greet us in the mornings leaving out or when we returned later that day. One day she stopped us, and began talking with Pastor Babu. We stopped to hear the challenges she and her sons were facing.

Since the passing of her husband, family members tried to take advantage of her claiming they had right to some land the widow’s family owned. When she saw us going by that day she wanted us to pray and ask God to help her.
-
We prayed with her and her two sons, asking God to intervene in the situation, and that the family would deal fairly with her. We watered the seeds that Pastor Babu had been planting. After the prayer I asked if they were Christians, and the Pastor translated saying that they were not.
-
Because he had already been sewing seeds of kindness and love to the villagers, their heart was open to an opportunity to pray for them, and also the gospel. That day the widow and her household accept Christ into their hearts and began living for Him! God gave the increase!

I checked back with the Pastor one year later to see how they were doing. God answered the prayer and there is no more dispute over the land. And they are now living their lives for God! Each day we can plant seeds of love and kindness in the lives of others, trust God for someone to come along and water them, and God will give the increase.
