Live Online Program

A brother from Taiwan visited us for a day and invited us to his weekly live Bible study program. He used to serve with us here in the church in Gurugram a few years ago but has moved back to Taiwan to serve in the training center. He is one of the brothers whom I respect as a one who is solidly constituted with the truths and a very good pattern for saints to follow. It was indeed a blessing to meet and fellowship with him again, in fact, much more blessing to participate in his live talk show.

The live internet talk show over Skype was telecasted live on Facebook. We began with an introduction on "Incredible India!" After briefing the audience with the nation India with her unity in diversity, we also testified of the Lord's move in relation to the ministry of the age. The history of the Lord's move in India was presented until the present time with what the Lord has been doing all these years. We also mentioned how one of the international trainings would be conducted in India on the thirtieth year of the Lord's move in India.

We also briefed on the literature service, how it began in 1995 and what the Lord has been doing since then. A special presentation on the translation of the New Testament Recovery Version into six Indian languages and the seventh one to begin soon was also done.

As the program went on, queries from audiences were handled simultaneously. The first query was on "the ten golden years" of India. To me, the golden years are the years of the Lord's marvelous move through the gospel preaching, propagation in different cities, and the spread of the ministry of the word. In these golden years, the Lord has saved and gained many seekers, and raised up many local churches; till date, 180+ churches taking and standing on the ground of oneness.

The second query was on how we shepherded the new ones and seeking ones. We did this through the introduction of the ministry books. Some good books we used are, The Economy of God, The Basic Revelation in the Holy Scriptures, The Glorious Church, The Normal Christian Church Life, The Orthodoxy of the Church, and A Genuine Ground of Oneness. We also used Shepherding Materials, 6 volumes with 96 lessons. We also gave testimonies of how the Lord recovered and raised up local churches through the seekers reading The Economy of God, and The Orthodoxy of the Church.

The third query was on matters needed to be taken care of by those who would come to India for the propagation of the ministry. On the practical side, there is a need for language skill especially that of English to minister the word of God to people. There is also a need for much prayer, burden from the Lord, and being anointed of the Spirit for the preaching of the gospel to the people of India. We also gave testimonies of many brothers and sisters who had come to India for propagation in the past, and how they could lead many people to salvation, including baptism, despite their minimal language skill. The Lord truly anointed their burdens and led many to salvation.

Finally, we also concluded with a testimony of the practice of the God-ordained way and the church life in our locality, Gurugram. And on a lighter note, conclude the talk show with a request for prayer for India and an introduction to famous Indian tea.

I have no idea how many have watched this show, but I do believe the Lord has arranged this for the benefit of the saints whom the Lord has burdened for India. May the Lord bless all the audience and burden them for His move in India. 

God bless India!
