Ministry of the Word Journey to Bareilly

Bareilly is a city not far from Plilibhit in Uttar Pradesh where we planned to visit for the distribution of the ministry literature. While I was planning and considering the best way to reach Pilibhit, it dawned on me that by flight Bareilly has the Airport and it is only through this city that Philibhit could be reached. Therefore, the burden for Bareilly came up.

In fellowship with my brother, we planned for Bareilly as well but did not have any contact in the city. After a few days of waiting and prayer, we decided to book our flight ticket to Bareilly and meanwhile hope for some opening in Bareilly though our intent was to go to Pilibhit. After a few days, through a phone call, we discovered that there actually were some seekers in the city of Bareilly. In fact, I myself received a call from a brother in Bareilly that if we would visit Bareilly we could stay with his family and that he would even come and pick us up from the airport itself. The Lord was faithful in discovering His seeking ones and introducing them to us.

As we landed in Bareilly for the first time, a brother came to pick us up. Since then, our bonding was established and became stronger and stronger. He gave us hospitality in his house and also invited some seeking families to fellowship with us. As we introduced ourselves and let him know the burden the Lord gave us for the ministry literature introduction and distribution, he made himself available for one whole day. He took us to different people. In the evenings, we have a home meeting in his home. In this way, the Lord has marvelously opened the door in Bareilly.

In fellowship with this brother, a burden for conducting a one-day seminar for the Christian leaders and seekers in the city was also conceived. While we were still there, we fellowshipped and planned for a one-day seminar in the month of May, perhaps on the 3rd, being a public holiday. In this way, the Lord opened up the city and also paved the way for the recovery of His chosen ones.

There are at least three families who are open to the ministry and are also seeking the truth. In our fellowship, we did minister on the truth concerning Christ and the church, and the need for believers to take the stand on the ground of oneness for the building up of the Body of Christ. These families were quite open and none of them seems to be satisfied with the denomination they present are in. Our burden is simply to release the truth and make the ministry available to them. May the Lord open their eyes to see His divine economy and gain these ones of the raising up of the church in Bareilly.

Sensing the need for our host to be shepherded further into the truths, I presented him with some crucial books concerning life, truth, the church, and oneness. Life Lessons in Hindi, I encouraged them to read as a family every night in their family prayer time. 

May the Lord grace them to receive the revelation from God and recover his entire family for His testimony. 

Lord, raise up the church in Bareilly!
