“That is the perfect name for her”

With the Indian children holding up my One Wish flash cards, I shared the good news and come to Christ. Asked by one of the believers to baptize his wife, whose Hindu name meant ‘snake.’ and give her a new name, I clambered into the lake. Lowering her into the murky waters with the buffaloes and villagers looking on, I asked the Lord to give me a name. “Your old name is ‘snake.” Raising her up, “your new name is Martha,” “That is the perfect name for her,” the pastor chuckled, “she’s been preparing food all day for the evening meal after the gospel meeting.”
