Ministry of the Word to Amethi

With the burden of visiting Amethi I fellowshipped with the local brother. Though he knew no one to meet in the city, he still took us to the place he knew. A small village on the outskirt, Saraimahesha. Here too, the believers knew only Hindi and our fellowship was in Hindi too with books distribution.

Though we knew no one to visit in the city of Amethi, with the burden for this city we still passed through the city on our way to our next destination. We hope and pray that the Lord would gain His testimony in this city. Then we came to a village called Koocho where we had a meeting with seeking believers from three different villages nearby. Here too, only Hindi speaking ones, so we ministered in Hindi and distributed the ministry books. We got to fellowship with few Christian leaders and pastors and ended up staying in this village. 

We ate village food with the brothers and slept in a village house. It was altogether a new experience. Before we took rest for the night, the entire family and few other believers came together for night fellowship. There I was asked to share the word. I shared what I enjoyed yesterday and today morning, The Miracle of Feeding Five Thousands. 

The saints were touched by few points I shared. "In the evening" when all the days works were done, and when all life's pursuit is over still there will a deep hunger and thirst which would bring people to the Lord. But for the Lord to bless, we must give all that we have to the Lord, "five loaves and two fish." Even if we have nothing to offer to the Lord, at least we have our lives. All that we have and are need to be consecrated. Then the Lord would bless it, then break it. This is the turning point. The Lord as the source of blessing must break all that we offer to Him, all our good and bad must be broken, as the Lord was crucified too. Then in resurrection, what was broken would be resurrected and then multiplied. This fellowship was so rich and the believers were all supplied. Then we all prayed together. 

Later a brother, our host, and came to fellowship with us when he shared his testimony. This brother seems to be simple and pure. May the Lord gain Him purely for His testimony. Then we took rest for the day.
