Wedding of Saints

One of the full-time serving sisters of Marathi Recovery Version was engaged to a brother in the church in New Delhi. Though she had sent an official letter for marriage leave I did not pay much attention to even attending it until the day before her wedding when the Lord reminded me of taking care of the feeling of the saints. The reason I did not bother that much was, there was no formal invitation nor announcement made due to the pandemic restriction for public gatherings. But when I came to learn of the wedding, the Lord reminded me to call the sister and find out what her need would be so that gifts could be given.

Personally, I was not very keen and there was no personal invitation too. But the Lord reminded me to be of large heart and do my best to make her wedding memorable and grace the couple with my presence at least. Therefore, just the day before the marriage, I decided to attend the wedding and also prepared some gifts. In fellowship with my coordinating brother, we felt good to gift the couple a Holy Bible Recovery Version, Leatherbound Burgundy, a Dining Set, and two royal designed mugs. 

This sister propagated in Gurugram for one term when she was in the training. She and the other saints were on the same team as me. Door by door in Sector 55 gospel preaching was carried out. She was very stable and bold in contacting new ones. Later, she enrolled for New Testament Greek learning and was qualified to serve in the Marathi New Testament as a text checker. The brother engaged to her also gave me a very positive impression when he took the responsibility of making practical arrangements for my younger sister's marriage in the church in New Delhi. Though not a payback of what they have done, it was indeed a response to my good conscience of showing them my gratitude. By the way, the brother is from a non-believing background and his family did not agree to his marriage to a sister in the Lord. Thereby, none of his family members attended his wedding but the saints stood by him. That is a wonderful testimony.

This young couple has a bright future if they go on in the way they have been participating in the church life now. They are simply and love the Lord. They are indeed a pattern to many other young saints; loving the Lord from their young age and giving themselves to serve the Lord in the church. Thank the Lord for such young lovers of Christ and the church!

May the Lord bless this couple and make them useful vessels for His move in North India, especially among the Hindi-speaking people.
