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.
