That wave took him about 200 feet and threw him to the ground. Then there was no more seashore but only he could see the houses. When the wave took him he started scream in a loud voice, "Jesus please save us!" but still he thought he was going to die.
But God still has a great plan for his life. He was rescued very safely without any injuries. He said that when he was calling "Jesus, Jesus," other hindu people also started to call, "Jesus please come and save us!" Our YWAM workers have said that they can see tht our God only saved these people.
The people in this village still need help, with many of their fishing nets lost and many boats damaged or destroyed. Some have also lost their homes.
