Sundar Singh was the youngest son of a wealthy family in India. When he was 15, he found Christ as his Saviour and became a Christian. His whole family turned against him.
One evening they put poison in his food and turned him out to die alone. Half dead, he made his way to the mission station. The missionaries cared for him and he slowly recovered. When he was well again, he attended the mission school.
Sundar’s Christian friends wanted him to stay at the mission and preach. But Sundar felt that God wanted him to go and preach the gospel to the needy people of the villages of India; and he obeyed God. He went from village to village telling the gospel story to all who would listen. The people in the villages learned to love him, and they watched for his coming.
One day Sundar felt God’s call to go over the Himalaya mountains to Tibet, and tell the people there the story of Jesus and His love. These are the highest mountains in the world, and only the hardiest people tried to climb them; but Sundar went.
When he got to Tibet, the people gladly heard the gospel, but the Lamas, the priests there, were very angry at Sundar and his message. They threw him into a well, put a cover over its mouth and left him there to die. But God was watching over him, however. A man came along and let down a rope to Sundar and he was saved.
For many years Sundar continued to preach the gospel, and souls were brought to the Saviour.
