Gospel Feast

The entire month of April in the church in Gurugram is a month of Gospel Feast. In coordination in the Body, the trainees from FTTT and FTTND with the saints in Gurugram propagated for the entire month day by day, and house to house. In this city under the scorching heat of the burning sun that raised the temperature to 40-43 Celcius, the saints went out faithfully and the Lord has blessed the labor of the saints.

1 Corinthians 15:57-58:
But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

In this Gospel Feast, our labor in the Lord is not in vain. As the Lord burdened us, we set a goal of gaining ten solid families for the church life and thirty baptisms to be gained. So that, gradually, a new district of the church in Gurugram would be raised up! The Lord is leading us toward the goal.

The burden for the Gospel Feast this time is to propagate in Sector 55, 56, 57, and Suncity. The saints were formed into five teams and every day they went our for door knocking house to house, two hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon. In this way, for one month, over one thousand doors have been knocked and out of which ten homes have been solidly gained where home meetings have been conducted up to seven times in the past three weeks. In these open homes, the gospel has been preached, they believed into the Lord Jesus Christ, called upon His name, and we had prayers, hymn singing, and Bible studies, mostly from the Gospel of Mathew and John. The Lord is faithful to open the homes of the Gentiles as well as that of seeking believers. It was indeed a breakthrough and the Lord has blessed His move in Guregram.

Our goal in gospel preaching to gain thirty baptisms is also being fulfilled. Through the daily gospel preaching of the saints, till date, twenty-two baptisms have been done, and over a thousand people have been contacted and preached the gospel of Jesus Christ to, or at least a gospel tract has been given. This is a marvelous move of the Lord! And there will be no end in gospel preaching. The church will go on and continue the gospel preaching in this city.

Last night, we had a gathering together of the seeking new ones and new believers. The Lord brought a good number of the ones under shepherding, some of them for their first time to attend a Christian meeting. The time was given for saints from FTTT to testify of how the Lord saved them and their experiences of Christ. Then, two brothers released the burden on the importance of "Meetings" in a Christian's life with different kinds of meetings introduced to the new ones. After the meeting, a wonderful time of blending with love-feast followed. This meeting was also a harvest meeting of the Gospel Feast.

Behind the Gospel Feast with all the meetings, there has been a lot of prayers offered to the Lord for His move, and much physical labor was involved too. The sisters were busy in preparing the physical food for all, and the brothers were in fellowship and prayer taking the lead in following the Lord's move. Overall, the church received many blessings; the saints' functions have been renewed, the coordination, fellowship, blending, and building- up among the saints have been strengthened, and a considerable number of new believers have been added to the church!
Acts 6:7 And the word of God grew, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem multiplied greatly; and a large number of the priests obeyed the faith. 
Praise the Lord for the Gospel Feast! May our entire Christian life and the church life be a Gospel Feast!
