Enoch was born in a Christian family but he wasn’t a Christian. Life had more challenges and huddles for him as he grew up. God worked through these difficulties to draw him to Himself. Enoch later met a lady from the beautiful Andaman islands called Asha with whom he is married. Asha tells of how she knew Mary the mother of Jesus but she did not know what being a Christian was. As she grew and went to school she made friends who witnessed to her and then she began to discover her need to know Jesus. She got her first English bible and God was yet to open a new chapter. (Listen to Enoch and Asha’s testimonies)
