In Canada, I was given hospitality in a brother's home. The very day I was brought in to their home, our fellowship began with testimony as they wanted to know my testimony. Since they asked, I testified to them of all what the Lord has done in my life; His saving me, calling me to serve, leading me to His recovery, my marriage and family life, and my service in India. The family was so encouraged to hear the goodness and greatness of the Lord in leading me all this while. Our bonding and fellowship as brothers and sisters became so sweet from the very first meeting. In fact, it is the same divine life of God flowing among us.
I attended the prayer meeting of the church in Surrey. The leading brothers requested for a sharing of the Lord's doings and blessings in India and then asked all the saints to pray especially for India. The prayer meeting on that Tuesday night was fully for India as we are all in the same Body. This is the oneness in the Body, the feeling and care for one another was just being manifested!
Two brothers and I went to fellowship with the sister of a brother who had gone to be with the Lord. We had a time of fellowship with our sister who was recovering from her paralysis. The Lord has sovereignly been preserving her all this while. She has two other sisters as helpmates; they help each other in their daily living. Our sister prayed to the Lord for some signs if He remembered her concerning her desire, that brothers from India should contact her. It was during that time that I contacted her for a visit after the summer training in USA. Then, we ended up in her home, fellowshipping with her face to face. That surely was how the Lord answered her prayer. The Lord is the Lord and He does things in the way He deems best. To His ways and His works, we can only say amen and worship Him.
We also had a time of fellowship with a brother of Indian origin who was instrumental in sending ministry books to India that later on became useful in beginning to raise up the Lord's testimony in India. Thirty years have elapsed since then, and from the first local church in India till date, after thirty years, the Lord has raised up 183 local churches in different parts of India. And the first international training in India will be held in the latter part of this year.
Canada sure does has a connection with India. It was indeed a blessing to be able to visit this country and fellowship with the brother whom the Lord used to sow a seed of the ministry in India and also a sister whose husband was the one instrumental in gaining an Indian brother who latter was burdened to send the ministry books to India that raised up the first local church in India!
The Lord's ways are mysterious and marvelous. I simply worship Him for who He is; He is God and is being very good at being God!
