The Lord has His lovers and seekers everywhere. This one in Bengaluru is unique in a way that he diligently paid the price and pursued the ministry of the word. The first time I met him was a few years ago when he had come to Delhi for his son's MBA program when I delivered to him a copy of the Bible, the Recovery Version. Since then he has been purchasing the Bible, especially, the New Testament, Recovery Version, for his relatives and friends. He has also been purchasing the Life-Study of the Bible book by book for their pursuit of the truth.
The testimony of this brother and his wife is amazing. They both studied the Bible, Recovery Version, with footnotes regularly. Then they also pursued the Life-Study of the Bible-Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and few others, and have enjoyed the ministry of the word so much. They testified of how much life supply they received from the ministry and how their understanding of the word of God and their minds have been renewed. They were eagerly waiting for fellowship with the saints who are enjoying the ministry. I was especially glad that they wanted to be introduced to the church in Bengaluru, and were also open for a group meeting in their home at least once a week.
I have fulfilled my burden of meeting them this time and hope that they would be shepherded into the church life. I now leave the matter to the Lord and to the church. I am very hopeful that they would be shepherded into the church life.
This is one of the encouraging testimonies in my literature service. When lovers of the Lord and seekers of the truth are supplied with the healthy word, I feel the Lord has blessed my service and I am also fulfilling the purpose for which the Lord has called me to serve.
The ministry of the word is for all, and my burden and service is to make sure that all the lovers of the Lord and seekers of the truth are supplied with the ministry of the word.
Lord, continue to bless my service in the literature service.
