An Opening for the Ministry

The capital city of the country is crucial for the Lord's testimony and it is for this reason that the Lord also brought us to New Delhi in 2005. Since then, the Lord's move has been going on in His recovery, slowly, gradually, and steadily. Now, the Lord has gained a considerable number of saints to bear His testimony and also open more doors for the spread and propagation of His ministry. The brothers who served in this city in the initial days had done their best; visiting and contacting a lot of seeking believers and Christian leaders. Though many of these ones are yet to take the way of the Lord's recovery, the Lord has been gaining many students and a good number of local families to bear Hist testimony.

From the literature point of view, we have done our bit in trying to reach out to the general Christian group by way of free distribution and also through sales. I believe one day, the Lord will make the ministry of the word a crucial spiritual food supply to all His children in the capital city as well as all over the country. As a preparation for that day, we have also translated a good number of ministry books into Hindi. Now, we are seeking the Lord's leading in how these Hindi ministry materials can reach the Lord's children at large. 

The past weeks have been noteworthy in the way the Lord leads us to begin a new way of reaching out to the Christian through the Christian book store. Unlike before, the door for further spread has been opened more and will be strengthened further. I have written to the responsible brothers in Delhi about the recent development. I believe the Lord will lead us through and strengthen His testimony, especially in the capital city.

Dear brothers,

Since 2005 we have been in touch with MSS, Masihi Sahitya Sanstha, Hindi Christian literature publisher, Janpath New Delhi. In 2015, Amana Literature hired them for Hindi translation of some crucial books. In 2016, we printed bulk books in Hindi, 700 copies of which, mostly of Watchman Nee were sold to them for their distribution through their networks all over North India. For some reason, brother Witness Lee's titles were not well received. This time on 21 Jan 2021, I went to fellowship with the manager and offered him the latest translation of our books, both of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee in Hindi, and also explained to him the usefulness of the Holy Bible Recovery Version. After consideration, he finally agreed to display our books in Hindi and English, both of brother Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. 

Today, the 28th of Jan, we came to deliver the books at their book shop in Khan Market, New Delhi. They also have another one in Janpath. We introduced the ministry books to the office staff so that they can introduce the same to their customers. We also had a good time of fellowship. Some copies of BXL 1 in Hindi and English were also given for distribution.

For Follow-Up

The sister in charge of the book store in Khan Market is Sis. SH. She is one of the members of a Christian group in Karol Bagh whom we met in 2005 with brother PL and CC. The key "pastor" at that time invited us to his place in Karol Bagh where we all shared our testimonies and the word of God in the open-air meeting conducted by him. It was indeed the Lord's sovereignty that we could meet and get to know that she is from that seeking believers' group, after 15 years! 

Today, we also shared the truth concerning the Christian life and the church life using some Bible verses. She is interested in fellowshipping more on the truth of the Bible. Since the "pastor" who led her and her family to the Lord left for another place, she, out of her burden to care for some 80 believers in Karol Bagh, is now singlehandedly shepherding the entire congregation. I introduced Brother J and Sister J to her verbally. She is open for fellowship and visitation. 

Pray that many seeking believers who visit the book shop can have a taste of the ministry.

Pray for the follow-up fellowship with Sis. SH and the believers in Karol Bagh.

I believe the Lord will gain this country, especially the capital city, all the state capitals, and the states of this country for His testimony. And we are one with the Lord for His move for the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom.

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:14
