| Marauding Elephants Destroy Home of Missionary in India |
|
Sources: Assist News Service, Gospel for Asia Anand Kumar, a national missionary with Gospel for Asia in India, had a rude awakening late one night in August when he heard the sounds of the elephants crashing through his house. Reacting quickly, he grabbed his wife and two small daughters and fled the house before the elephants could harm them. The morning sunrise brought to light the destruction of their home, goat and bicycle. The elephants also ate all the food in the family’s kitchen. Two other homes in Kumar’s village in West Bengal were also destroyed that night. India’s forest department reported that in the area where Kumar lives, elephants were damaging 15 to 20 homes every night during this time when floods drive the elephants from their feeding grounds. Kumar was able to construct a small new home beside the ruined one. He was also able to repair his bicycle enough to make it usable. He depends on the bike to minister in villages that are too far from his home to walk. * Radio programs in 17 languages air to Asia and Southeast Asia from HCJB Global-Australia’s shortwave station in Kununurra. Most of the programs are produced at the ministry’s studios in New Delhi, India. |
