evangelical fellowship of india was mr paul sudhakar from south india before coming to christ lie was a hindu brahmin and took a very dim view of christians he said he divided christians into three groups i those who could not think 2 those who dared not think and 3 those who would not think it was not the testimony of any missionary or christian national which won him but rather the message of a bible which he bought from another hindu brahmin he said having that book in his hands was like dynamite and having been a student of history he was captured by the genealogy listed in matthew i as it presented the message of christ as having taken place within history rather than simply a myth or legend as he read the next few chapters of matthew he surrendered to the invitation of the holy spirit and three days later was baptized iquartersi large selection of evergreene shsube and trees fnilt trees fruit bushes ready for planting rosea potted ready to plant begonias gladioli dehllaa all
