Nainital

Having enjoyed the hilly terrains, driving through scenic landscapes of Cedars and Cyprus trees, we embarked on a hill station of some two thousands feets above sea level, and there lies a beautiful greenish lake in irregular oval shape, surrounded by mountains inhabited with lodges and hotels all around where tourists frequented for sightseeing and lake boating, a hamlet called, Nainital, our next destination for the distribution of the ministry of the word. 

Wasting no time, we visited all the Christian leaders and introduced the ministry literature as soon as we arrived. Surprisingly, all of them were so interested in the ministry that without much consideration,  they grasped there copies each. We also met the top two colleges' Principals as they were Christians themselves, though they  administrated an academic institution. Perhaps, due to their busy schedule, high security level and strict discipline, we only got few minutes to introduce the ministry. Nevertheless, the Lord opened their eyes within that short span, and they all immediately purchased the ministry books, of no less amount. 

Two other note worthy meetings were:

a leader of the biggest Christian group, and a brother who is a tent-maker by profession and serving the Lord. The commonality of both was that they loved the Lord very much and were very hungry for the word of God. Though we met them at different time and place each, their response to our fellowship was like a mirror image; one from a mainline church on the front line and well known,  and the other running a small group meeting as a church in his home at the back mostly hidden and less known. Both had pleasant visage, quite charming, and smiling throughout our fellowship. Every book we introduced to them, more precisely, every word or sentence we uttered,  they echoed with a resounding "Wow!" expressing their joy in the light and revelation they saw through the ministry of the word. And they both ended up ordering the whole set of ministry books we introduced. Besides, they both wanted to have us again for further fellowship and thanked us for visiting them. And with both, we spent a couple of hours at a stretch and enjoyed it as well. 

After those meetings, I just realised why the Lord brought us to that tourist spot. And deep within me there was a confirmation that the Lord indeed is recovering His testimony in this important and famous hotshot of North India. 

Apart from the spiritual blessing of meeting the Lord's chosen ones, we also enjoyed our stay there; the cold weather, fresh air, scenic views and delicious food. In fact, I ended up purchasing gifts for my son, especially, and daughters and wife as well. I felt I just could not miss the opportunity to show my love and care for my family in the humanity of Christ. 

That was a wonderful and all-inclusively enjoyable trip; both as an official one and personal one too, yes, even that of a spiritual one, yet, physical too. 

Lord, gain Your chosen ones for Your glorious testimony in Nainital!
