Ministry of the Word to Yamunagar, Ambala, Kurukshetra, and Bahadurgarh

In this distribution trip, our plan was based on a few contacts we had in a few cities and town. I  basically looked at the map and based on the Haryana map, tried to connect the dots and drew a path for our jouney. Thereby, though these four cities were not the target, they became a part of it.

In Yamunangar, a brother who has been in touch with some of our brothers gave us hospitality in his congregational setup. We spent most of our time shepherding this brother who received the free Rhema literature many years ago. This time, it was more of a one-on-one shepherding visit to gain him. Before we left the city, we were able to meet only three pasors to whom we introduced and distribute the ministry literature.

In Ambala, we met a brother who was introduced by a brother from Karnal. After that, we visited a sister and her husband who we have known for many years in Gurugram. It was more of a brotherly visit.

In Kurukshertra, we visited a small Christian group who were under the grip of persecution from the lcoal people. Sicne the time we visited was late in the night, we could not spend much time. But with the little time we had, we introduced the ministry literature to whoever was present at their meeting hall. Becasue it was already late night when we arrived this village, we thought of staying back for the night initially. But later, we realized that there was once a situation where the locals were not happy with outsiders visiting the Christian believers. That was the Lord's leading to tell us not to stay for the night in Kurukshetra but move forward to Karnal as the Lord wanted to do His work in Karnal the following Lord's Day.

In Bahadurgarh, our last destination for this Haryana trip, we met two young brothers who were from a Gentile background and just came to serve the Lord. They were jealous for the Lord though their understanding of the word of God and the Lord's ministry was very basic. They were not clear about the deeper truth related to life, growth, transformation, and the mystery of Christ and the church. But somehow, we explained what the ministry is and clarified some of their doubts concerning the Christian faith.

Thus, with this last stop, our ministry journey to Haryana was completed for this time. What awaits is the follow-up of this first ministry literature journey. The following journey will be for shepherding and recovering of the Lord's testimony in all these places in Haryana.
