The 12 Days of Christmas are also known as Twelvetide. In the Middle Ages, monks would celebrate a different saint each day. During Twelvetide, unlike the 25 days preceding Christmas, monks were not required to fast. The exception was that they had to fast and pray for the first three days of the year, to refrain from the idolatrous practices associated with new year celebrations.
Ravi grew up in a city where drugs were prevalent. When he was in fifth grade, he started smoking. By the time he was a teenager, he was a drug addict and a drug dealer. His life was far from Christ. But his mother and father (who was a pastor) were praying for him. One night in 2012, Ravi overdosed and almost died. But God used that moment to transform him. Ravi shares, “I know that spiritual things were happening that night. I made a decision. I told my father, ‘Please send me to Bible college.’” And he went the very next day, with no looking back. Now Ravi is a missionary to five villages. He and his wife have two children.
Before becoming a missionary, Ravi used to sing professionally at pubs, restaurants, weddings, and parties. Now that he’s in ministry, he records Christian songs and uses his gifts to teach music in villages where preaching is banned. His other ministry passions include evangelism and ministering to those who are struggling with addictions.
