Sundar Singh went from being a fierce hater of the Gospel, who led a gang that persecuted Christians and publicly burnt Bibles, to one who boldly declared: "I am a Christian. I can serve no one else but Jesus!" Arising from an encounter with Jesus; a fierce persecutor was now a believer.

Sundar Singh was arrested for preaching in a forbidden Tibetan village. But his joy was so great--joy that he might suffer for Jesus' sake--that he sang and preached all night long from his tiny cell window. The enraged officials tried to silence him with torture, but he sang hymns of praise to Jesus all the more.
