Ministry of the Word to R S Pura, Jammu

Only a night before, the Lord gave us a contact for this town at India-Pakistan border. Though we knew nobody, the Lord arranged brothers as our guardian angels in this town. Just few kilometers away from the border we were given hospitality where we had fellowshipped with three different groups of Christian leaders and workers. 

The first one was with a school owner, who by faith had established his own school with the goal of preaching the gospel to the local people who are mostly unbelievers. As we introduced the ministry books we ministered specifically on the glorious church and the need for the believers growth in life to be the bride of Christ as we were already chosen to be the Lord's counterpart. The Lord enlightened them concerning the church through the ministry of the word. They were very touched and amened all that we ministered. Besides they took care of us and introduced us to other Christian leaders as well. 

We met with the believers and newly appointed Pastor of a small church established by the British in 1872.The congregation seemed to have been dwindling and dying. But we introduced the ministry books and encouraged them to go on with the Lord. We ministered on the all-inclusive Christ; expounding the unsearchable richness of Christ in an experiential way with personal testimonies based on  Deuteronomy 8:7-8 For Jehovah your God is bringing you to a good land, a land of waterbrooks, of springs and of fountains, flowing forth in valleys and in mountains; A land of wheat and barley and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees with oil and of honey;  

To a brother who was newly appointed to take care of the only Christian church with almost no congregation, we encouraged him to look to the Lord in prayer and gain people for Christ from scratch. Even I spoke to him in faith that if he would seek the Lord and labour sincerely and faithfully the Lord will bless him from zero to two hundreds believers. I gave a testimony of how the Lord saved my household through prayer and claiming the word of God,  Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, you and your household. This fellowship encouraged him a lot and increased his appetite for the ministry of the word. Though I gifted him "Life Lessons" and "New Believers Series", he still wanted to get more books. I allowed him to choose whatever he needed and he purchased the books. He seemed to be very seeking and hungry for the word. We only hope that the Lord would gain him for His move in this boarder area. 

The fellowship we had while introducing the ministry books was indeed the propagation of the word. The books are so rich that a chapter in any of the book could be a message. In fact, while introducing them, I always ended up ministering at length and in depth to the satisfaction and life supply to all who were with me. I myself enjoyed the ministry of the word. 

Praise the Lord for the distribution of the ministry of the word here in RSPura. One day I hope to see the Lord’s testimony being raised up through the ministry of the word that have been distributed.
