After the one week of gospel preaching preparation with the trainees, the saints from abroad, Hsinchu-Taiwan, came to coordinate with us. Through this, I learned a lot of spiritual lessons.
Seeking the Lord in Prayer in Coordination as the Body
As the host, we were praying for weeks altogether. This enlarged our capacity in taking care of the church and in serving the Lord in a local church. Until the very last week before the saints from abroad came, we were not clear where to propagate. But we prayed and prayed until the Lord made all things clear through prayer and fellowship in the Body. This itself is a precious lesson in learning how to seek the Lord's will in prayer and in coordination. Finally, the places for propagation were finalized at DLF-3, Sector 55,56 & 57.
Serving in Coordination in Practical Matters
Many practical preparations of food and transportation for the entire period of propagation was also a blessing for the church. Brothers and sisters consecrated their time and energy to participate in the Lord's move. The sisters' function was especially noteworthy. They coordinated so well and prepared meals daily for about 40-50 people. This also enlarged their capacity in taking care of the meal service, not just once, but daily; not alone, but in coordination. Through this kind of propagation, the functions of the saints were manifested and enlarged. The practical lessons learned is worth all the prices paid.
Serving God Spiritually as the Army of God
The spiritual services of forming into teams as an army of God, going team by team to different communities, street by street, knocking door by door, and propagating the kingdom of God is marvelous! Many of the local people we preached the gospel to are hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ for the first time in their lives. Many of them called upon the name of the Lord and prayed the sinner's prayer to receive the Lord for the first time in their lives. Many received the gospel tract and the Bible for the first time. I have no scale of judgment to gauge the "success" of this gospel preaching. Statistics of seeking contacts is good, but the fact that the word of God is preached and sinners are saved is most precious. Only the Lord knows how many are saved. Our responsibility is to preach the gospel. No matter what the result is, preach the gospel. Whether people accept or reject, the gospel is being preached! This is how we serve God spiritually as the army of God!
Gospel Harvest and Feast
At the end of the week, we conducted another gospel meeting for the new ones contacted in the communities we propagated,. For this, we gave the opportunity to all the saints from abroad to fucntion. They functioned so well, and the gosple meeting was very rich. Five sisters and two brothers gave testimony of their salvation experience, two brothers led the meeting, and two brothers coordinated to preach the gospel message. In this meeting, three new ones got saved and were also batpised too! The meeting was so rich and enjoyable! Besides, the spiritual blessing, the sisters' coordination in preparing the meal for the gosple meeting was also amazing! The Lord has blessed the church and increased our capacity in hosting guests and conducting gosple metings. Praise the Lord!
Saints' Sacrifices
One more thing worth mentioning is the prices paid by the visiting saints who used their very precious annual holiday of one week, the Chinese New Year holiday, for the preaching of the gospel. They paid their own prices of buying flight tickets and meeting their own expenses for the kingdom of God, and bringing blessings to the church in Gurugram and also blessing the country! The Lord remembers the saints' sacrifices and will reward them accordingly.
Praise the Lord for the gospel preaching and gospel meeting in coordination in the Body of Christ!
