Once a Homeless Teen in Paris, Man Finds Jesus on a Street in India, and Returns to France to Start a Christian TV Station
"I am now running Holy God TV which started one-and-a-half years ago. It's the first twenty-four Christian TV in France broadcasting in both Tamil, French and English."
Dan Wooding/AH (Oct 17th, 2006)
Uthayakumar Gerard once lived as a homeless young man in Paris, a Tamil refugee from his native Sri Lanka. Unbeknownst to him at the time, God had a huge plan for this teenager, who seemed to have no hope, and no permanent shelter.
"I stayed on the streets of Paris without a home for more than three years," said Gerard. "At that time there were not a lot of Tamils who wanted to accept me into their households, so I slept on the streets without anybody to help me."
According to the ASSIST News article, his life began to change when a Catholic priest brought him in from the street. "His name was Gerard and he picked me up from the street one day and gave me a room and food and everything. After that, when I decided to stay on in France, I changed my surname to Gerard because this man literally saved my life."
That was the start of something big as, after studying to become a priest himself, he found the Lord on the streets of India, and returned to Paris to begin a much needed ministry of Christian broadcasting. Read his inspiring testimony, written by Dan Wooding, by foll
