The Lord's Move in Gurugram

Since the beginning of this year the Lord has been doing a very specific work in the church in Gurugram by first working Himself in each one of us individually - recovering our daily enjoyment of the Lord, and our coordination among ourselves was strengthened. He also began to work in the city by arranging a propagation that has been pending for long.

It was on a Friday night, a week ago, that we received a phone call about the trainees from Hong Kong coming to Gurugram for the propagation. Though this was not planned, a situation in Guwahati was not conducive for the saints from abroad to go there. Therefore, the Lord brought them to our city. 

Though initially we could not decide immediately as we considered so many practical matters. First is the manpower to coordinate with the saints as there would be no trainees from India to join us. Second, the hospitality arrangement is another challenge, as we never gave hospitality for nine saints for two weeks. Third, the target locality for propagation was hard to pick as the people in this city are on the higher side of the normal Indian society. In fact, we had done door knocking a couple of times without much result. Nevertheless, as we fellowshipped, we just realised that this is of the Lord and we, by faith, amen the Lord’s move.

The next day, we all prayed for the propagation in the church prayer meeting. All the saints in one accord prayed and consecrated to be a part of the Lord's move. So the main burden was clear; we all in one accord amened the Lord's move in our city. And hospitality arrangement was done organically in homes and our office guest room. The following Monday, the saints came to the meeting hall and rearranged everything for the two weeks propagation. Personally, I was amazed at the saints coordination and the oneness through which the Lord led us all together. This itself is already the blessing we received even before the actual propagation began.

On the Lord’s day, after lunch, all the saints gathered together for fellowship to decide on where to propagate. Through the fellowship, the Lord made it clear that we have to go to DLF 3. The members of the Body spoke and it was thus confirmed. And the following Monday, we drove around DLF 3 and zeroed in on U block. Thus, through fellowship the Lord made all things clear step by step.

So when the saints from Hong Kong came everything was in place; after fellowship and prayer, we all were grouped into five teams and participated in the Lord's move. Even after all these, our target was not clear. But as we pursued the ministry book, "Being Desperate and Living Uniquely for the Gospel," we were clear that our target should be twenty baptisms and five house hold solidly gained for the church life.

So far, nine have been baptised and three families were open. We still have a week to go. And the Lord will accomplish His work. Hallelujah!

Praise the Lord for His move in Gurugram! May the Lord gain His strong testimony in Gurugram!
