Tezpur: A Call from a Brother

A brother who invited me to speak the word of God in his wedding meeting a few years ago has now been blessed with a baby girl. His sister is serving as a medical nurse in one of the hospitals in Tezpur. This, therefore, became a base for him to serve the Lord in this city and now he has the burden to raise up the Lord's testimony by 2020. At his invitation, we came to this city for the ministry of the word literature distribution.

One of the significant things was the Lord's leading us in meeting many seeking medical doctors and medical students. While we were fellowshipping with two medical students in a cafe, another medical doctor overheard our ministering and joined us in. After flowing out the words of life to these hungry souls, my heart was deeply for the follow-up shepherding. I encouraged our local brother to pick up the burden to shepherd these seekers. Thereby, we established a weekly home meeting in the campus every Lord's day afternoon. This was very unexpected and unprecedented. It even came as a surprise to our brother. Nevertheless, it was the Lord's doing for His testimony.

Besides, one pastor opened up his situation and his longing for the oneness among the believers in the city. Though he has established his own Christian group, he was going through turmoils within his own group. Divisions after divisions were the history and story of Christianity. His reading of the ministry books gave an inkling about what the Bible says about the church and the standing of the local church on the ground of oneness. He also expressed his burden to study and pursue the ministry books and perhaps, meet with our brother. As a response to his opening, we ministered the truth concerning Christ and the church. I personally hope that he will sincerely and seriously study the word of God and pray that the Lord would lead him and recover him for the Lord's testimony in Tezpur.

Lord, bless your move in Texpur and raise up Your testimony by 2020!
