Last month I was especially graced with the honour of being able to fellowship with two brothers, one week after the other. Blending with the saints and enjoying mutual supply of life to one another.
The first one is from Taiwan, who used to co-worked with us here in India. As he came to take classes in the full-time training, I could fellowship with him in his free time. The most joyful part was our visit to a family. In fact, this family happened to be the family whose first contact with us in the church in Gurgaon was through this Taiwan brother who distributed tract almost a decade ago in HUDA Sector 56 market. Later that tract, The Mystery of Human Life, became the key for him to meet the saints, study the truths, and eventually come into the church life, though it took him at least two years. In this family, brother shared about his testimony of salvation from Buddhism and also a particular testimony of his wife who from her childhood had been praying for about twenty years to marry a temple's owner son with a burden to turn the idol temple into a meeting hall of the church in his locality. That girls' prayer was fulfilled as she married this brother, and later, the temple was used for church meeting hall.
Another brother was from the church in Fremont, California, USA. He was on his business tour to India, and on his flight transit, he could visit us for group meeting and fellowship. I was with him all the while and enjoyed the joy of hospitality, though I am still learning to give hospitality. This brother, though a businessman, is burdened for the gospel. When he visited us few years ago, we went preaching the gospel together one Saturday in a park where we could lead about three people to salvation. He has the heart of a serving one and the fire of the gospel too.
The speciality about these brothers' visit was that I could take them to the families that need shepherding. Visitation from different part of the world and fellowshipping on the word of God with the same vision and burden brings about the experience of the one new man in a sweeter and practical way. This is one reason why I would catch every opportunity to fellowship with whoever the Lord would bring to our locality.
Looking forward to the Lord to send more saints to visit the local church in our locality.
