A TESTIMONY OF A BLIND MAN NAMED MR. HEREN HEMROM
God’s love knows no limits, and His Word is for everyone, regardless of ability. Through the faithful efforts of the Bible Society of India, this truth is becoming a reality for many, including Mr. Heren Hemrom.
On the morning of 8th April 2025, Mr. Heren Hemrom, a visually impaired man from Latakel village in the Simdega District of Jharkhand, visited our BSI Ranchi Auxiliary Office. During his visit, we had the joy of presenting him with Braille copies of the books of Revelation and Leviticus. In the days that followed, we continued to supply him with more Scripture: on 16th April, he received the books from Matthew to Galatians, Philemon, Hebrews to Jude, and another copy of Revelation; and on 25th April, he was provided with the books from Genesis to Daniel.
Mr. Hemrom’s life story is deeply moving. At a very young age, he was brought by the police to St. Michael’s Blind School in Bahubazar, Ranchi, where he grew up and continues to live even now. Officially, he is 65 years old now. Since 2019, he has been receiving portions of the Braille Bible through BSI Ranchi Auxiliary, a resource that has fueled his passion for ministry among other visually impaired people. His method of sharing the Gospel is simple yet powerful. In new places, he first reads and tells stories from the Braille Bible. When individuals come to faith in Christ, he organizes Bible study groups to nurture and disciple them. He also faithfully prays for those who are physically, emotionally, and spiritually struggling.
When asked how he supports himself, Mr. Hemrom humbly shared that God provides through the generosity of people who offer him food, help with his travel expenses, and support his ministry work. Through Mr. Hemrom’s unwavering faith and tireless service, the love and power of God are touching lives in Chaibasa town and Kolebira village in Jharkhand.
To God be the glory!
