Pastor Subodh Bag comes from a Christian family but he was living a life contrary to the gospel. He used to have wicked friends and was involved in wicked activities. He knew that he was doing wrong and at times he used to feel guilty and he was unable to attend church because he felt unworthy to enter the church building. However, one day he was sick with fever and was not  recovering from it. Then he met with a pastor and requested him to pray for him. As the pastor
prayed, the Holy Spirit touched him and he fell on the floor. Right at that moment the fever left him and he was healed completely.
Since that time Pastor Subodh turned from his old behavior and felt the call of God in his life. Then He decided to serve God full time.
Pastor Subodh is having three house churches in three different villages. Each house church has 20 to 25 people each and they are growing in the Lord. The villages he is working are hostile to Christianity.
Pastor Subodh and his wife Jyotsna Rani Bag and they have a son Yanis who is 5 years old.

Prayer Points:
For boldness to share the gospel
House churches to grow in number and in quality.
Monthly support for Pastor Subodh and family
For Yanis’s education.
