On the island of Mauritius in East Africa, Randhir reached a moment of absolute darkness. Alone, jobless, and drowning in debt after a difficult divorce, he locked himself in his room for three days, mentally prepared to end his life. His future felt hopeless. His past, a heavy burden.
“I cried out to the Creator,” Randhir said. “I asked, ‘Why me? Why so much suffering?’”
But then something unexpected happened.
A Voice in the Silence
In anguish, Randhir heard a voice in that room, not from outside but from deep within: “I can hear you.” It wasn’t imagined. The voice began to answer the questions in his heart. It pointed to the consequences of his own decisions, including marrying against his father’s counsel and the pain that followed. A flashback of events, his mistakes, and his broken relationships unfolded like scenes from a film.
“I couldn’t bear the weight of it. I cried for 24 hours,” he said. “I told God, ‘Please take this life. I want a new one.’”
An Invitation and a Life Transformed
Just then, when Randhir prayed, his sister, who had recently become a Christian, knocked on the door. She invited him to attend a church prayer event. This time, Randhir said yes. “I had nothing to lose.”
At the service, the pastor invited first-time visitors to come forward and pray. Randhir was the only one who stepped out. That night, he gave his life to Jesus.
Finding GodLife and a Guide
At home, Randhir searched online for ways to grow in his new faith. He downloaded the Bible app and saw an ad for GodLife. Clicking through, he found discipleship resources and submitted a contact form to connect with an online volunteer. That form changed everything.
He was connected with a GMO Online Missionary named Rigg, who began guiding him through the Look to Jesus discipleship lessons for new believers. The two corresponded regularly by email as Randhir started attending church, reading the Bible daily, and growing stronger in his faith.
“Wake Up and Follow Me”
Not long after, Randhir had a vivid dream where a voice called him to “Wake up and follow Me.” He didn’t hesitate. He recognized it as the Lord’s call to take the next step: baptism.
On April 1, 2023, Randhir was baptized. That same night, while praying to Jesus, he shared how he wished he had known Christ during His time on earth.
“I wanted to know what He looked like. I had prayed to idols my whole life. Now I wanted to meditate on Him.”
He felt prompted by the Holy Spirit to take a photo of an image of himself as an embryo. When he followed the prompting, the second photo revealed something remarkable: a face beside his embryo.
“I cried in gratitude. I knew Jesus was showing me He had been with me since before I was born.”
New Life and a New Calling
After his baptism, Randhir prayed for work as the debts he owed were weighing on him. Miraculously, the government unexpectedly accepted him into a fully funded medical assistant training program. He received food stipends, transportation, a laptop, and job placement.
The opportunity felt like a miracle. Not only did God provide financial stability and equip him with new skills, but that very laptop would later become a key tool in the next chapter of his journey: connecting with seekers as an Online Missionary.
He completed the program and is now working full-time as a healthcare assistant in one of the most reputable clinics on the island. He also works part-time as a massage therapist.
In his work, he shares his faith and prays for his patients. One patient, initially resistant to hearing about God, returned weeks later to tell Randhir he had started reading the Bible again.
“I told God: I only want to work for You. Let everything I do be for Your purpose.”
Becoming an Online Missionary
As Randhir grew in his faith, he felt God calling him to serve others, just like Rigg had served him. He applied to become an Online Missionary but wasn’t accepted at first since he was new in his faith. Rigg encouraged him to try again and personally recommended him.
Today, Randhir serves as an Online Missionary himself. In just his first month, he connected with over 70 seekers.
“I begin my day asking God, ‘What can I do for You today?’ I end it connecting with seekers, sharing the love of Christ.”
