Ministry of the Word Journey: North Bengal

Jaigaon, North Bengal

A land bordering India and Bhutan is teeming with missions and missionaries, all with the burden of somehow entering into Bhutan with the gospel. We were welcomed by a well-established Christian group and given hospitality with theologians. With our host we had wonderful fellowship on what a Christian life is, and the issue of such a life being the church life. The theologians were appalled with the depth and revelation of the word the Lord blessed the ministry with, supported by the subjectivity of such high peak truths. We were also led to meet the leading and influential Christian leaders to whom the ministry books were introduced.

A Seeking Missionary: A seeking "missionary" invited us for a lovefeast dinner fellowship and testified of how he has been praying and longing for someone to introduce the pure and healthy teaching from the Bible with printed ministry books. He has seen so much confusion among Christianity with different teachings and leadership that leads the believers into  division. He expressed his gratitude to the Lord that the Lord brought us there in answer to his prayer and wanted to pursue the ministry books and also expressed his desire to visit the church life in Delhi and Gurgaon.

We were introduced to the top leaders of the Christian groups operating in North Bengal. A leading founder and leader of some 200 “branch churches” was so interested in the ministry books. He placed order for the books in sets, and would mobilize all who are serving with him for the distribution of free Rhema books and tracts. In fact, he testified that he has been praying and waiting for someone to provide healthy teaching from the Bible, and was so happy that we visited him.

Another mainline church leader expressed his desperateness on the state of today's nominal Christians and wanted a revival. The ministry books impressed him a lot and wanted them in Bengali in bulk as soon as possible, as he is the Chairman of many “churches” all over North Bengal, mostly Bengali speaking believers.
