Picture the nation of India as you imagine it to be with its Hindu temples and masses of people. Now add to that picture some Christian megachurches.
Satish Kumar grew up as a "rowdy lad" in a poor Hindu family. When he heard from a street evangelist that Jesus Christ could change his life, he embraced the message. Beginning as a manual laborer for conferences, he started a youth fellowship group. That was followed by a new church of 25 members in 2005.
In ten years that church had grown to 130,000 members. Today Pastor Kumar's congregation numbers over 300,000, a church size unknown in the U.S. and hard to imagine.
