This missionary is shifted to a dimension where he needs to compete with people from other religions to make Christianity the official accepted religion in that warld.
The Emperor turned Indran around and said, “You proved to me that Christianity is more than a religion to help us through life and the afterlife. It is a faith that allows a friend to offer his life as a sacrifice for another friend. I believe I heard you preach a message about Christ sticking closer to you than a brother. Just now, you proved that Christ must be a true friend of yours because you were willing to die for me and this was all a test.”
“I don’t know if I would have done what you did,” mentioned the servant. “Please forgive me, sir.”
“You’re forgiven. I might have acted the same way. Well, I know which religion should be the authorized religion in my kingdom. In fact, you may live in the palace you and your wife are occupying and hold services in this ballroom until I have a fine church with a much larger auditorium built.”
The Emperor faced the center camera which was still operating and said, “I declare Christianity the authorized religion in the Branglian Empire. Each Sunday, you who are watching your TV will see the morning service of this man’s church on your set. Next Sunday’s service won’t be as long or as exciting at the end. But I’m sure you will remember this service and I hope you tune in every Sunday to watch him deliver messages from the Bible. All I can say is good afternoon. This is your Emperor wishing you success and rich blessings from Heaven. Good-bye.”
Indran held services in the ballroom for four months until the church was built for him to serve in. It could hold 20,000 people in the main auditorium and broadcast its Sunday morning services throughout the Empire. Tens of millions of people were saved due to his preaching before Indran died in 1902. His son Lorndran is now the pastor of the Brangli Nesh Baptist Temple which is still broadcasting messages to the furthest reaches of the Empire. And to think, if Indran hadn’t passed the final test, the entire Empire might have had a religion people could embrace during life. But it wouldn’t have allowed them to face death like Christianity did for Indran Fueler.
