Three Dancers

Last Saturday I wanted to join the gospel preaching with the saints in the morning session after the brothers' fellowship, but I felt the resistance to actively participate in it as I had other responsibilities in caring for the saints. But after the prayer meeting of the church in the afternoon, as usual, I got myself released from other preoccupation and participated in the door knocking. Even then, the distraction from the enemy was such that as I went to dropped off a team in their propagation area, my car got punctured. So, I ended up fixing the problem and when I was actually ready to go for door knocking, an hour had already gone by. It was so tempting to just give it up and stay back home. But I felt I should still go. Therefore, I went to preach the gospel.

When I was on the field, joining a team of three sisters, for door knocking I barely had an hour. I simply followed the sisters who already had gone to the area before. As I followed them, we pressed a doorbell whose residence invited us in. As this person knew only Hindi and being a male, I had to exercise my spirit to preach the gospel in Hindi. To my surprise, he was so receptive. After preaching the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, sensing his condition, I led him to call upon the Lord's name and assist him to pray the sinner's prayer to receive the Lord Jesus Christ. As soon as the prayer was over, his roommates arrived.

With two more of his roommates, now the house was filled with people; my self with three sisters and three of them, seven of us altogether. They invited us in. We sat in their living room, and this time, I preached the gospel again in English for the sake of the other two roommates. Beginning from God, the Creator, to His creation of the universe and man, the fall of man, His incarnation as the man Jesus, accomplishment of redemption at the cross, and His becoming the life-giving Spirit, a complete gospel, in short, was preached to all of them. As the Spirit led further, after preaching the gospel, I lead them to pray, all the three friends heard the gospel of Jesus Christ for the first time in their lives, and also prayed to receive the Lord Jesus Christ for the first time in their lives. O what a joy! We all were so joyful, and after the preaching and leading them to pray, we also prayed for each one of them. Then, I gifted them with Hindi and English New Testament Bible. Praise the Lord!

As we conversed further, it was learnt that all of them were professional dancers. One of them had even performed in a reality show. Now, he has been pursuing a career in acting aiming at Bollywood and would be moving to Mumbai. The other two dancers will be stationed in Gurugram, learning and teaching dancing. Now and then, they have been organizing a dance party. All of them agreed to the pitiful and sinful condition of man, and the only way out is to believe into the Lord Jesus Christ. It was a surprise visit for them and for us too. The Lord was so sovereign in leading us to them. May the Lord continue to work in their being and grace them the full experience of God's full salvation.

Praise the Lord for these three dancers!
