Show Notes

Born into a Hindu family, Payal began to question the core belief of karma. After being invited to church and learning about Jesus, she discovered the truth she had been searching for. Choosing to trust Christ — and later marrying a Christian — brought challenges with her traditional Hindu family. Yet despite the struggles, Payal has found peace in honoring her parents while obeying God. She cannot deny the protection and guidance she has experienced through the one true God, leading her into a strong and vibrant relationship with Christ.

Do you want a relationship with God too?

If you have never made the choice to accept God's offer – a gift, not by works – to be restored to the original design for your life - relationship with God for eternity (on earth and in heaven after physical death), now is the time. Here's a message that will help you understand who He is, who you are, what choice you have, and what happens when you make the decision.

The importance of a Biblical faith community:

All listeners are encouraged to engage in a local church community to learn more about Jesus, the Bible, and to experience God through relationship and community. Listeners from the Northern Virginia area are welcomed at Burke Community Church and anyone seeking an online church service can find one here.

“Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.” — 1 Corinthians 12:12

Just like a body can’t function if it’s all an eye or a hand, the community thrives when everyone contributes in their unique way. We are not designed to be alone; we’re designed for a community of faith.
