Kyndiah from northeast India, was not only elected by an overwhelming majority to become a member of parliament, but the prime minister of India inducted him as one of his cabinet members," said Pudaite excitedly. It is reported that Pudaite personally led Kyndiah to Christ.

Pudaite says India is very receptive right now. “There are 42 million telephone subscribers whose names and addresses we have, and we'd like to make a Bible available to all of them.
