Training at Pune

The serving ones training at Pune this month was unique to me. Especially because, apart from the Lord's speaking and fellowship on the Lord's move in India, I also got to witness with my own eyes the faithfulness of the Lord in caring for His children. Three meetings with three brothers were very remarkable.

The first one was a brother, whom I termed it, "a prodigal son," who left his home for more than a decade. But now have returned back to the church and also to his family. When I met him, I was awestruck. It was like a miracle. Because I used to coordinate with his father for the literature distribution and I remembered how he lovingly and desperately shared about his son's situation. I also remembered what I told him that one day the Lord would bring his son back like in Luke 15, the prodigal son. I literally could witness the fulfillment of what I spoke a decade ago. God is faithful!

Another brother was also of a similar case. He had to leave the church life because of his family condition. When I realized that he left the church life a few years ago, I felt very sad. I blamed in on the religious Christianity that has plagued many children of God. But when I met him this time, I was glad to learn of him of how he has been praying and waiting on the Lord that his whole family would be recovered. He is very much in the Lord and the truth he has learned in the Lord's recovery has been preserving him. He has a burden too that one day, the Lord will fully recover his whole family.

Finally, the most memorable part was a friend and a brother, who I have been in fellowship with over the phone, for years altogether. I got to spend time with him daily during break time for fellowship, for prayer and pursuing the ministry together. This time of fellowship was very precious. We hardly could meet face to face, nor fellowship, pray and blend except in times like this. The training was not merely for word of God but also for the walk with God with the brothers. Praise the Lord!

Besides all these, I could witness the Lord's move in a very practicaly way in India. I was impressed by the matter of material offerings the Lord has led us through, the saints in India. When a report was given about the offering for the blending center in Chennai, it just blew my mind away. My fallen natural concept about money has been renewed ever since. The Lord indeed worked in many saints in India. We truly are witnessing the breaking and poruing out for the Lord's interest.

All these experiences are the real subjective training as a serving one. Praise the Lord!
