Testimony: A life transformed by the power of God

My name is Rinku Mondal and I come from a Hindu background. I grew up worshipping idols, not knowing the true and living God. But everything changed when I came to know Jesus Christ and accepted him as my personal Saviour. My life took a new direction, and I began to grow in faith through my local church. But over time, I realised that just going to church on Sundays was not enough. I longed for something deeper – a stronger foundation in God’s Word and a more intimate walk with Him.

That desire led me to enrol in Bible College. But making that decision was not easy. The biggest challenge I faced was my son. He had been addicted to drugs and other harmful substances for years. He was incredibly stubborn and refused help from anyone. No one could convince him to go to rehab or even admit that he needed help. Under the influence, he tormented our family and brought pain and fear into our home. His life was spiralling out of control, and I felt helpless.

Despite the chaos, I knew God was calling me to go deeper – and I refused to let fear hold me back. I chose to obey and attend Bible school, even when my heart was breaking for my son.

But God intervened.
In the very first week of Bible school, something miraculous happened. My son had a sudden change in his mind. All on his own, he made the decision to enter a rehabilitation centre. It was nothing short of divine intervention. As I studied God’s word, my faith was strengthened daily. And through all this, I saw God working behind the scenes.

As we approached graduation, my son had come home completely free of his addiction. I know it wasn’t just the rehabilitation programme that changed him – it was the power of God. I believe that through my obedience and decision to follow Him in Bible school, God released His transforming power into my family.

Bible school didn’t just teach me – it changed me. And through it, God brought healing and restoration to my home. His power is real, and He is faithful. All glory to Jesus!

LOBC-Team: Healing and restoration in Bolivia

It was Wednesday morning when we arrived, exhausted after a dramatic 36-hour journey and running on barely two hours of sleep. A kind man from a local church picked us up and welcomed us into his home. As we sat together making small talk, he began to sing a Swedish worship song, sharing from his time as a missionary there. In that moment, the weight of the journey caught up with us, and we began to cry. Questions filled our minds: what was going to happen on this trip, could God really use us like this, and did we even have the strength to be there? He gently encouraged us to rest, and after a short nap we were picked up by the pastor and reunited with the rest of the team. After breakfast and several hours of sleep, we felt more alive—still tired, but ready. We were reminded that in our weakness, God is our strength.

So wonderful to be back in Laos. I was here the first time 25 years ago, and ever since that visit, something in my heart has remained connected to this beautiful nation. I have always wanted to come back—and now, finally, I am here again. Walking these streets, meeting the people, and sensing God’s presence so strongly reminds me that His timing is always perfect.
