The story of the song, “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus” is covered in the Book by Dr. P.P. Job “Why God Why“. This story is incredible and shares the results of someone 100% sold out to Jesus Christ, truly born again by the Holy Spirit. You cannot live the Christian life in your own strength. The faith expressed by this man is the faith that will be needed during the coming prophesied tribulation Christians will endure during the last seven years (Daniel 9:24-27) of Daniel’s 70 Weeks Prophecy. The time prior to Jesus’ return, first to rapture the Saints and pour out His wrath on the earth with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. Both occur after the sixth seal at the trumpet blast that opens the seventh seal.

May everyone who hears this story be inspired to go and do likewise.

Here is a comment from a person from this tribe in North East India, Javies Phaltual:

Hi! Thanks for sharing the story behind the song. First, let me correct you. The missionaries came to North East India, not North India. I am from that region and a descendant of one of the head hunter tribes. But, thanks to the missionaries we are no more head hunters, but fishers of men. It was Watkin R. Roberts who bought the gospel to our tribe. Today, the Wales that sent out such a large group of missionaries have very few numbers of Christians and most of their young generations are lost in the bright darkness of this world. So, join me in your prayers that the gospel be revived again in Wales.
