I had heard about Saji Lukos for a few years before I had ever met him. I was told that his fervor for God was very contagious. In my opinion, that was an understatement. His boldness humbles me and his ability and motivation surpass all norms.

I do not think there is any way to prepare to meet Saji. He was born in India so his culture is much different from our own but honestly I do not think that is why he is so different. From the moment of our introduction he treated me like a brother in Christ and not as a stranger and I could tell instantly that God had taken hold of his life.

After hearing about the persecution they face in India, I wanted to get Saji’s story online for everyone to hear.
In America, it is hard for some of us to grasp what kind of persecution others go through. Even reading about it in magazines and books is far different from talking one on one with someone who has gone through it.

His ministry is RIMI, Reaching Indians Ministries International. They train up missionaries in India so that they do not have to worry about them being exported and have no visa issues.

Just hearing Saji talk about the humble beginnings of this ministry is very telling of his character. He persevered and depended on God much of the time to provide. Hearing how God provided time and time again very specifically to his needs was inspiring. He has a faith that challenges me and builds my own.

He has seen miracles throughout his life from a freedom from demons to amazing stories of healing. God is working great things in India. Saji is right there on the front lines despite being beaten for his belief and the persecution continues today.

If you would like to know his story please watch the video and if you would like to know more about his ministry visit his site and any help you can offer through prayer or monetary donations are greatly appreciated.
