Fellowship with the Coworkers

In every training of the elders' and responsible ones, the coworkers gathered together for a pre-fellowship. It was in such a fellowship that some of us, brothers serving the Lord in India, were invited to attend to present to all the coworkers, the history and present situation of the Lord's move in India. Six of us brothers were invited to fellowship with the coworkers. In turn, and in coordination we presented the history and present situation of the Lord's move in India.

Before we did the presentation, a senior brother who has been fellowshipping with us, introduced all of us, one by one, to all the coworkers. Brother introduced each of us briefly of our background and service. Though we are nothing, brother painted a very wonderful picture of each one of us to all the brothers. Deep within, I felt very unworthy and I felt I did not deserve such a good word. I personally do not feel that competent as was introduced. Nevertheless, I reckon it as how the Lord sees us. In my own eyes, I see myself much much lower. But brother has presented us in a very honorable manner. It was not an exaggeration, he presented the fact as he understood, and he covered our shortcomings as he knows us quite well, yet presented the best of all of us. What a cherishing and shepherding! 

My portion of presentation was on the distribution of the ministry of the word; how the country has been opened to the ministry of the word. I presented few testimonies of the acceptance of the ministry through the distribution in the South, North, and North East India. I also presented on how we prayed, planed, and executed the distribution state by state, city by city, town by town, and one on one. And I also tesitified of how the Lord raised up a good number of local churches through the ministry literature.

After all the presentation, the coworkers had a good feeling and proposed that we do the same presentation at the end of the last message in the training. One brother was so impressed by the testimonies he heard and pointed to me, asked my name and said, "You spoke India to me." The brothers were so glad that they could be briefed of what the Lord has been doing in India since the past thirty years. And on the thirtieth year, an international training could be held in India for the first time ever.

This is the Lord's work and all glory to Him. What a blessing to be in the fellowship of the Body! Much more, what a blessing to be able to fellowship with the coworkers from all over the earth! May the Lord continue to bless His testimony in India!
