"Who is Jesus?" | Back
The only answers she got were shrugging shoulders and shaking heads. After two years of fruitless attempts, she became discouraged and asked less and less often.

Hopeful answer
One day she happened across a seven-year-old girl. After playing together for a while, Jala remembered the question—with no hope of an answer, she asked anyway. This new girl said yes! Jala could not believe her ears. The younger girl had been learning about Jesus at her Bible Club. "Would you like to come with me to learn about Jesus?" she asked. Jala went to the Bible Club with the little girl and sat in rapt attention when the teacher talked about Jesus. This Bible Club was a part of a church planted by a Bible League-trained worker.

Let the little children
Jala faithfully went to the Bible Club where she came to know Jesus. Today Jala is 20. She is one of the first class of Bible League-trained church planters that can speak her ethnic language. There is virtually no Christian presence among this ethnic group. She will return to the region of her birth to establish a church so that children there won't have to wait for years to learn about Jesus.

CENTRAL ASIA:
Jala's parents crossed ethnic boundaries in Central Asia to move to a city to find jobs. As a nine-year-old girl, Jala quickly learned the new language. One day she saw a television movie about Jesus. Despite the different language, the faint reception, and the diagonal lines that constantly washed across the screen, she understood the program. She had never before heard of this Jesus and she thought the movie to be just a story like others she had seen. But Jesus seemed so kind and so real that it drew her. She began to wonder about Him.

No one knows Him
Jala asked her family and friends if they could tell her more about Jesus. None of them could tell her anything. She began asking everyone about Him. While running errands, playing, or walking the streets, she questioned any new people she met.
