Gospel Feast

The church in Gurugram is very much blessed with the saints from abroad visiting now and then for the propagation of the gospel. For the year 2020, a team of saints from Hsinchu, Taiwan came at the last week of the first month of the year. Initially we were a little reluctant wondering if we could really take care of the propagation. But in course of time, and through fellowship and prayer, we could finally say amen to the proposal. The saints coming to visit us for propagation gave us two great blessings:

Saints' Hospitality

This time the saints who came are accommodated in various homes of the saints. This is the first time different homes, including the new ones, could open their homes, not just for meetings but also for hospitality. This itself is a blessing and a breakthrough in our church life.

Saints' Participation

This time too, many saints participated in the gospel preaching. In fact, this is the first time I feel I should not get directly involved. Otherwise, I might replace the function of the younger saints. The saints themselves, especially the young ones are the most active ones in the gospel preaching and shepherding. This is another blessing and breakthrough.

Though the duration of the propagation is just a week, we still maintain the goal of gaining at least one baptism in each gospel team. The saints desperately prayed and preached the gospel. I intentionally did not get myself involved in the way the gospel preaching is being carried out. I wanted all the saints to fellowship and coordinate among themselves. I want to completely do away with the concept of looking up to "elder brothers." Rather, I want all the young saints to exercise and duplicate the same work the "elder brothers" used to do. In this way, all the saints can function. 

The Lord indeed honored the burden, prayer, and coordination of the saints, and gained baptisms as per our goal. This is also in line with the burden the Lord blessed us for the increase and multiplication this year 2020.

Praise the Lord for the gospel feast!
