New Believers in India!

We recently received the following report from Pastor P in India. We are so thankful for your prayerful support of ministry.

There is a lot to still be done in India, so please continue to put this ministry on your prayer list. These Pastors are so sincere and so urgent to share the Word. It blesses me everytime I pray, every communication I see, every photo that comes in! It's so uplifting to hear from India and we certainly have felt His presence strongly in these ministry endeavors.

I love it that God uses whole families to minister in whatever ways He deems. He can use the touch of a child, the smile of a woman, the words of a youth and it can have an unimaginable impact because the Spirit leads and touches hearts. Thank You, Lord for this ministry. Help us to be faithful in all that You call us to do.

Most highly respected in Christ jesus

Greetings in the most high name of our lord jesus

Thank you so much for your most valuable prayers for the outreach ministries in the tribal areas where there is much need of gospel.

Because of your valuable prayers we could conduct the outreach ministry 4 th time. This mininistry was carried in to a tribal village called y** (names omited to protect ministry endeavors). We started here at 8 am taking musical instruments, sound system, lighting, stage, generator, its fuel, water, food etc… in a rented vehicle. Four of our church elders, 25 young people accompanied with us. Even though it was terrible hot we could safely reach the village by your most valuable prayers. After reaching the village we could reach every door to invite them to gospel meeting which will be held in the evening of that day.

My wife s**, two of my small kids "C" 3.2 yrs, "J" 10 months also came along with us in the terrible heat. village people like songs rather than preaching because of that reason s**also was taken along with us to glorify the name of god. I . God has given s** a good talent of singing for the glory of god. because of her singing many people attended to listen songs . Then we started gospel meeting, preachings.

She lead the worship and I shared the word. The holy spirit of lord lead me to preach on mark 8: 22-26 and this sermon was turned to preach on spiritual blindness. Nearly 200 people attended the prayer meeting.. They did not go away till the sermon was over. Many people were touched by the word and could understand why should believe in jesus.

As a result of this effort 14 people accepted jesus as their saviour and said they would take baptisms. There was a pastor nearby to that village. We invited that pastor also for the prayer meeting. So I introduced them to that pastor and advised them to go to his church on every Sunday.

We think if we have a video camera(handi cam), it would be very good to take video to show the people so that they too can learn to win souls. And it would be good to send you video files to understand the ministry well.

convey our greetings and our heartfelt thanks to those supported for the outreach and the ministries. Pastor P

Thank you for your continued prayer for Pastor P and Heart of God in India.

Heart of God in India – May ’08 School of Ministry

Update from India:

From 12-14 May, School of Ministry classes were held successfully. Twenty pastors only attend out of twenty-six because of terrible hot summer. We sent the support to all by those who came to the classes. The men were taught some introduction to Gospels and Parables. They received the Word very well and praised God. They prayed for the Heart of God Ministries and for all the sponsors.

On the 20th this month we are planning to go to a village for outreach to evangelize with the good news of salvation. Please pray for that trip to be successful and that many souls would be won. We will have to go in the terrible heat. Right now the temperature in our area is 49 degrees of centigrade; it is very high, sometimes it reaches 50-51 degrees (over 120 degrees Fahrenheit). Please pray for our trip and all the participants.

One pastor from nearest village to where we conducted outreach last month came to us and said that nine people have taken baptisms after the outreach to that village. Please pray the remaining also will take baptisms. On that day when the Word of God was shared by me, nearly 25 people responded to the Holy Spirit and accepted Jesus as their Savior. Villagers are asking us to come again to that village so that they could learn more Word. Pleas pray if it is the will of God that we can go once again to reap souls.

Please convey our sincere thanks to all the sponsors for the School of Ministry and the outreach ministries to the villages. Pleases remember our need for a church for the lepers and share this need with your partners.

Thanking you so much.

Most sincerely yours in Christ Jesus,
Pastor [*] in India
