Sometimes it's necessary to just stop everything we're doing to give praise and glory to God! And we want to give you the opportunity to join us in praising the Lord for His abundant protection and provision.
We received a report from India about a ministry outreach which simply needs to be shared lest the rocks cry out in our place! Such a work of God needs to be broadcast throughout the corners of the earth. God answers prayer! Don't ever doubt it.
We pray this report will build your faith and encourage you. Whether you're praying for protection, healing, salvation, or provision in your own life or in the lives of your loved ones, this report is undeniable proof that God answers prayer. Let this act as a testimony of God's power to you as you read them.
Our friends in India write:
We could do the first outreach camp on 23/1/08 to a remote village by your valuable prayers. It was away to our area. We had to cross big mountains. It's a remote village in the forest. Nobody dares to go there because of animal attacks and naxals [terrorists]. Our plan was to go to a village but nobody was there in that village. All the villagers along with children have gone to somewhere to get some works for earnings. Therefore we shifted our outreach camp to another village which is 3 more kilometers far away. We went there in a rented vehicle with 32 people including elders and the youth taking musical instruments, lighting, sound system, chairs, stage, food (lunch) ,water, generator and its fuel. We returned back to home at 2:30 early in the morning. Because of your valuable prayers we could come safely to home. In one place while descending from the mountain the truck in which we were travelling was slid and all the people jumped down from the van. If the van was `slipped it would have fallen down to 400 feet. But our almighty Lord delivered us. Some naxals in our return journey wanted to chase and harass us but we were somehow escaped. The village is very small. Most of the people are well experts in witchcraft. They can kill people by witchcraft in seconds of time. They are addicts of toddy and the alcohol (arrock). The total population in that village was 70, and 46 people including children attended the prayer meeting. After the prayer meeting was over, many people came forward for prayer. As a result of this ministry one family came forward to accept Jesus and their third son voluntarily said that he would dedicate his life for the ministry and he would come for training if we extend him the opportunity to get training.
As you can see, we have much to praise God for! This is an incredibly amazing testimony, one that builds faith and encourages us to continue to do what we can to strengthen the hands of our overseas partners to build the Kingdom of God.
We are so impressed with these men's willingness to put their lives in danger for the sake of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ!
We covet your prayers on behalf of this ministry in India and the pastors and others who work together to reach the lost and minister Life—the life that is found only in Jesus Christ—to people most of us will never have the opportunity to meet face-to-face.
