Do you believe a life can change?

One of my favorite songs right now is called Take Me Over by the Christian heavy metal band Red. In the song, they ask this question: Do you believe a life can change? I know firsthand that a life can change. My life changed dramatically when I realized what Jesus did for me when he went to the cross. I also know because of the many stories that I've heard of lives that have been changed all over the world by the transforming love of Jesus. Many of these stories are of people who were willing to lose everything for the sake of gaining Jesus. Look at the numbers of lives changed by God through a global movement called Biglife, through whom more than a quarter million people have come to know Jesus:


  • India:
    • 2003- 3 Indian Biglifers ready to reach & disciple their own people for Jesus Christ.
    • 2016- 242,500+ new followers of Jesus / 18,800+ Indian villages & neighborhoods reached
  • Nepal:
    • 2006- 1 local Biglifer ready to reach & disciple his own people for Jesus Christ
    • 2016- 15,300+ new followers of Jesus / 900+ Nepali villages & neighborhoods reached
  • Pakistan:
    • 2007- 1 Pakistani Biglifer ready to reach & disciple his own people for Jesus Christ
    • 2016- 6,000+ new followers of Jesus / 1,000+ Pakistani villages & neighborhoods reached
  • Afghanistan:
    • 2010- 1 Pashtun Biglifer ready to reach & disciple his own people for Jesus Christ
    • 2016- 4,100+ new followers of Jesus / 670+ Afghani villages & neighborhoods reached
  • Bangladesh:
    • 2009- 3 Bangladeshi Biglifers ready to reach & disciple their own people for Jesus Christ
    • 2016- 6,000+ new followers of Jesus / 895+ Bangladeshi villages & neighborhoods reached
  • Cambodia:
    • 2010- 1 Cambodian Biglifer ready to reach & disciple his own people for Jesus Christ
    • 2016- 2,000+ new followers of Jesus / 230+ Cambodian villages & neighborhoods reached
  • Vietnam:
    • 2013- 1 Vietnamese Biglifer ready to reach & disciple his own people for Jesus Christ
    • 2016- 1,900+ new followers of Jesus / 100+ Vietnamese villages & neighborhoods reached
These numbers are staggering and it can only be attributed to a movement of God. He is reaching the lost in some of the most dangerous and difficult to reach places in the world through radically obedient followers of Jesus. Let's all consider joining the movement of changing lives where we live by being radically obedient to Jesus.
