Christian Leaders Seminar

"The Ministry of the Word for all!" is the motto behind conducting Christian Leaders Seminar for the first time in coordination with the coworkers and Rhema free Christian books serving ones. This was a well planned event with much prayer and fellowship with all the entities involved. And the first ever of its kind in India with the specific burden of reaching out to the Christians in general by reaching out to the leaders in particular.

The event came into fruition when I first came to Allahabad and met a Christian pastor for introducing the ministry books. As I introduced the ministry books with much burden and the release of the word, he immediately proposed a Christian leaders seminar as a platform for the spreading of the truth. This matter was brought into fellowship and prayer. After several rounds of fellowship we finally concluded for a date and a topic. The topic was, "The All-Inclusive Christ."

Prayer burdens to the churches and preparation followed suit. Then a team of six brothers landed in Allahabad for the seminar. The seminar was attended by over one hundred Christian leaders, Bible students, and seeking believers. Selected messages from the book, "The All-Inclusive Christ" were present in four sessions covering the following points of truth.

• The All-Inclusive Christ- An Introduction, The Goodness of the Land- Its Spaciousness and Ascendancy
• The Goodness of the Land- Its Unsearchable Riches, Water, Food, and Minerals
• Entering the Good Land and Life in the Good Land
• The Issue of the Land-The Temple and the City

There were some genuine seekers who were closely following the speaking; some have taken notes and some later came for fellowship during tea-break and lunch-break. Over all the response was positive and the seminar was conducted as planned. Our burden now is that those who have heard the word and received the ministry books may be graced by the Lord to further pursue the Lord in the word and that the Lord may manifest the ones who would stand for His testimony. 

Personally, I had the advantage of handling every little bit of things from planing to execution, including the budget. My one consideration is, the same could be carried out in a proper coordination in various other cities as well, even perhaps, with a lesser or no budget at all. But the element of paying the price for anything precious cannot be mulled either. Price or no price, the ministry of the word must be spread as the ministry the Lord has blessed us is for all.

This is just the beginning. May the Lord continue to open doors for the spread of the ministry of the word all over India!
