Gurugram Propagation: Open Homes

1 Timothy 2:3-5This is good and acceptable in the sight of our Savior God, Who desires all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 

God desires all men to be saved and for this He needs us, the believers, to cooperate with Him in His gospel move. For this very purpose and burden, as the church in Gurugram, we formed teams and went out to door-knock houses in selected sectors-55,56,57, Suncity, and DLF 3. Our schedule in door-knocking was consistent for a month with the coordination of the trainees from Taiwan and India. The Lord indeed bless such a coordinated move in the Body and graced us with some open gentile families.

A husband of a family who has a Christian mother but has been married to a non-Christian wife who has been inclined towards idolatry has been maintaining his Christian touch a secret. Yet in time, the Lord discovered him through the door-knocking and he revealed his true identity. Since then, we have been been having home meetings in his home. 

The first time we went, we preached the gospel right away and led them to call upon the Name of the Lord. Then, we requested if we could meet them again and again. They were open, therefore we went and read the Bible together with them regularly. So far, until Mathew chapter 6 has been read and studied. When we were in chapter 3 on the baptism of the Lord Jesus Christ we expounded the truth concerning baptism. They even agreed to be baptised. Yet a very subtle opposition from the enemy stopped them. We did not push it further, instead continue to shepherd them through the study of the word and leave baptism for a proper time. May the Lord save this family. 

A family who had a miraculous connection with the Lord Jesus was met. The mother in this family had a mouth cancer for which she was operated. While on the process of operation, according to her, she died for a while, saw her soul left her body, and was taken up to heaven to meet the Lord Jesus. Yet, she came back to life and the vision she saw disappeared. Since then, she and her husband has a hidden thirst to know more about Jesus. They even had been to a Christian group for a while which they left as they were hurt by the Pastor's preaching against idolatry which made them close completely for any further Christian meeting until we met them again through door-knocking.

With this family we had a good number of meetings in their home. We preached the gospel and they believed into the Lord Jesus Christ and called upon His name. They also came once for a meeting, and we had Bible studies in their home. This family confessed to us that they are seeking and searching for the reality of God and they are very inclined towards the Lord Jesus. They wanted to study more and would like to embrace the Lord with the whole household. May the Lord save this family. 

A younger couple were open to us in our first visit. They also hailed from a strong religious background. As we started visiting them, we preached the gospel and they believed into Jesus and called upon the Lord's Name. We then began a Bible study in their home until the time of their children's exam and will continue once the exams are over. This family also attended the church meeting twice on Lord’s day. May the Lord save this family.

A family of nine ladies was contacted through door-knocking. In the first three meetings with them, the gospel was preached and all of them believed into the Lord and called upon His name. They also came for a Lord's day meeting. Since they all believed, we also explained to them the meaning of baptism. Later, the male member of the family strongly objected to the gospel and their believing into the Lord Jesus. We do not give up on them, but continue to pray for the household salvation. May the Lord save this family. 

There are a couple of families who have similar stories. Gospel preaching is a spiritual battle; a direct fight between God and Satan. We do not give up on any of this family. We'd rather continue to pray for them until they all are saved, and we baptised, and brought into the church life. 

Our labor and prayer for all these new ones will never go in vain. The gospel propagation in Gurugram is bearing fruits. 

May the Lord gain a strong testimony in Gurugram.
