Our Coordination: The Lord's Move in Bihar

Three weeks ago while we were in Ranchi, as we fellowshipped the burden for visiting Bihar came up. Later, we prayed about it and decided to pursue it further. As I brought the matter before the Lord in prayer, I got a confirmation in my spirit that we should plan and proceed. Then I checked with my brother if he should draft the letter to be written to the particular organization we planned to visit to seek an appointment. His immediate reply was that I should do the drafting. Though I tried to make excuse by stating that I had other things to do, the Lord led me to simply take that as His leading and I replied back with the word, "Amen". The next day, I drafted the email, we fellowshipped about it, and then finally sent the following:

To:

CEO and General Secretary

GEMS, India

Subject: Seeking an Appointment

 

Dear Brother,

Greetings in the Name of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ!

We are a full-time serving staff from Amana Literature and Rhema Literature Distributors. We are writing to you to seek an appointment and fellowship with you concerning the Christian literature we have been translating and distributing in India, particularly the Hindi literature, of books by Brother Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. We have the Hindi literature both for FREE mass distribution and for SALES as well.

We are very impressed by the Lord's work through you and the ministry the Lord, as the Head of the Body, has apportioned to you. We look forward to the privilege of meeting with you and having an eye witness to the works the Lord has been doing through you and introduce to you the books we are distributing.

Our tentative plan is to visit you between 11 (Thursday) and 12 (Friday) of March 2021, according to your availability, or you may kindly suggest your convenient date. Please do let us know of your availability so that we can plan our journey.

Awaiting your reply and looking forward to meeting and fellowshipping with you.

Thank you, Brother.

Your Brothers in Christ,

Palmeichung Rongmei, Director - Amana Literature

Babu Venkadesh, Managing Partner - Rhema Literature Distributors

A brief description about us: 

Amana Literature is a representative of Living Stream Ministry that is primarily dedicated to the publication of the ministry of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee and publishes the books of Living Stream Ministry with permission. Just as these two servants of our Lord Jesus Christ faithfully continued the heritage of ministry that the Lord delivered to the church, it is our aim to follow their faithful pattern by distributing the riches of Christ for the building up of the Body of Christ. Their writings focus on the enjoyment of the divine life and on the building up of the church, the goal of the work of God with man in this age. 

Amana Literature has one goal: to supply spiritual food for the nourishment of all believers that they may grow in the divine life for the sake of the building up of the Body of Christ. Amana Literature - The Ministry of the Word for All! 

 

Rhema Literature Distributors is a group of believers throughout the earth engaged in a single mission - to actively distribute the highest quality Christian literature. In over 100 countries and more than 35 languages, we distribute according to a simple principle - all our literature is given away completely free. We are distributing the books that have helped us the most to understand the Bible and to know and experience Christ in our daily life. In particular, we work closely with Living Stream Ministry to distribute a number of key titles by their authors. We are a nonprofit charity whose distribution is made possible by gifts from believers and churches from all over the world. They have entrusted us with the means to be a free and broad channel of supply to all those seeking to know God in a deep and satisfying way. In India, free distribution of books is carried out in 8 languages. Free Christian Books | Rhema Literature Distributors (rhemabooks.org)

After a few more exchanges of emails, the plan was confirmed to visit GEMS in Dehri On Sone from 12 to 14 March 2021. 

One thing I experienced very particularly was when we were asked to share a message on the Lord's day even before we met them. This was the first time in my life in which I was asked to share a message in a big gathering by a well-known Christian leader even before we actually met and fellowshipped. When I took the matter to the Lord in prayer, the Lord's speaking was definite: He is a member of the Body so are you. It is I, the Head(Christ), who arranges the meeting. Then, I was comforted and confirmed of the Lord's leading and trust the Lord for His fulfillment. The Lord also gave me the burden to share on the three subjective signs of the Lord's called ones in Exodus 4. So I fellowshipped with my brother and prepared accordingly.

We visited and experienced the Lord's leading step by step as blogged in http://palmeichung.blogspot.com/2021/03/gems-visit.html

After the visit, we wrote back a mil of thanks today, A Note of Thanks!

Let brotherly love continue. Heb 13:1

Dear Bro. Augustine Jebakumar,

Thank you so much for your time of brotherly fellowship and prayer. It was indeed the Lord's grace and sovereignty that we could meet and fellowship face to face at your residence. We were so thankful to the Lord for all that He has been doing through you and the saints serving in coordination with you.

 

May the Lord continue to grace and bless you and the ministry He has apportioned to you in His Body for the building up of His Body. 

And He Himself gave some as apostles and some as prophets and some as evangelists and some as shepherds and teachers,

For the perfecting of the saints unto the work of the ministry, unto the building up of the Body of Christ. Ephesians 4:11,12

 

We pray that the little that we could offer in the form of Christian literature will be a blessing. Should there be any need for more literature in English, Hindi, Tamil, or any other Indian language, please do let us know. As much as the Lord graces us, we would willingly participate in whatever we can, within our capacity.

Let brotherly love continue. Hebrews 13:1 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your (our) spirit, brothers. Amen. Galatians  6:18

Our prayers will be with you and for the Lord's move in the Hindi-speaking belt of North India, especially Bihar.

Note: Attached are the photos we took on 13th and 14th March 2021.

Thank you, Brother!

Your Brothers in Christ,

Palmei, Babu, and Fredrick

Our brother in Patna who just had shifted from Ranchi became a stepping stone for His move to Bihar. And another contact through two sisters in Gurugram became another stepping stone for the Lord's move. In marvelous ways, the Lord worked everything together for good. The saints were praying as we traveled to different parts of Bihar; Patna, Dehri On Sone in Rohtas, and Itwa in Chakia. So it was the move in the Body, with the Body, and for the Body!
