Ministry of the Word to Rewari and Jhajjar

A bother who was brought to salvation eleven years ago and now living in Jhajjar is one of the key contacts that led us to this city. Geographically, to travel from Gurugram to Jhajjar it was convenient to pass through Rewari, another important city. Therefore, Rewari came into the distribution plan. Though we did not have many contacts in this city, we somehow got a number from Rhema free distribution database. So our only meeting in Rewari was with this one brother who is a Peon in a Government college. He was also our first contact in the city and we were glad to preach the gospel and fellowship with him concerning the ministry literature. After praying for the city and also this brother we left for Jhajjar.

In Jhajjar, our brother welcomed us to his residence cum school. It was a meeting after many years. In fact, I met him after he has become a father of two children. Professionally, he has become very busy and successful. But spiritually, he has not been shepherded properly. At least I was glad that his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is still going on. He still continues to call upon the name of the Lord Jesus and trust in the Lord. Despite his wife, family, and the people surrounding him, his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is consistent. His need now is to move forward and grow in the divine life to the extent that he openly confesses his faith in the Lord and also stands for the Lord's testimony openly in Jhajjar. Our brother has also invited us to visit him at least once in a month for fellowship. 

He also ran a restaurant where he treated us to his specialty for dinner. And after that, I met his family, his children, and we had a prayer in his office. For the night stay he accommodated us in a very nice hotel in the city.

The next day, we had a meeting with a group of Christian leaders. Initially, they were all very suspicious of the ministry. As there had been, in the past, some Christian groups came to the city and spread a wrong teaching extrabiblical to the Bible. Moreover, there were frequent persecutions in the city from the Gentiles. Thereafter, we understood fully the reason why they had to treat us in a cautious way in the beginning. 

But when we started introducing the ministry literature and showed the truth of the Bible through the literature, they began to see the depth of the word of God. And how orthodox we have been in our teaching and they opened up to us. They even thanked us for the wonderful Christian literature we introduced to the city. Our meeting became very fruitful. It cleared off all misunderstandings, and now they were open to the ministry. They received the ministry books. Besides, we also ministered on the truth concerning the church which really touched some of them deeply. In all our fellowship we used relevant Bible verses to back up the words we ministered.  In fact, they also gave us some contacts that we could meet in another part of Haryana. 

So having thus released our burden in Jhajjar, we left for Bhiwani. 

May the Lord gain His remnants for His testimony in Jhajjar!
