Ministry of the Word to Srinagar

After a time with the brothers in Anantnag, we journeyed to Srinagar. The beautiful scenery along the highway was so mesmerizing. I could not withhold my phone from taking phoes and videos all along. God's beautiful creation is so wonderful! The creation itself is a testimony of the Creator, God. These beautufil landscapes surely did not come into being and could barely be explained by the so-called "Bing Bang Theory" of man's mere imagination. With such wonder beyond human imagination, only the fools will indeed deny that God indeed is the Creator of all and that He does exist.

This time too, we had no clue as to whom we should meet, where we should stay, or what we should do in Srinagar. We just came with the burden of the distribution of the ministry literature. But the Lord gave us the right person to contact just as we planned to visit the city. A serving brother welcomed us to his Srinagar home and treated us with a delicious South Indian meal as he himself have migrated to the city some fifteen years ago from the South. This brother led us to different people and also made arrangements for our stay. We had a time introducing the ministry to this brother and gifted him with some books including the New Testament Recovery Version. 

He also met another brother whom we met in our past visit, who has been appreciating the depth of the minsitry so much. To him, based on his fellowship, we shared the truth concerning the inner man and the need to strengthen the inner man by contacting the Lord and by growing in the divine life. 

Besides, we also met a brother who has been displaying books and selling Christian books to key Christian churches. He came to meet us before we left the city and showed much interest in the ministry books. He even texted me testifying that a book he read made him realize some of his "sins" for which he also repented. To this brother, we handed over a good number of the ministry books for him to distribtue and sell.

This beautiful city has the same fate as that of the previous city we visited.  Despite the difficulty in laboring for the gospel in this city, there have been many brothers and sisters praying for the salvation of the people of this city in particular and the state in general. Though we could not see like in other cities of India, believers teeming the city, nonetheless many prayers have been offered. The prayers of the saints will bear forth fruits one day. We were blessed to share a part in the Lord's move to Srinagar.

May the Lord raise up the church in Srinagar soon with His chosen people.
