Ministry of the Word to Peren

Peren is the last district in Nagaland we visited in the ministry of the word literature journey. With this visit we have covered all the key towns and districts of Nagaland. In fact, it is inky Nagaland that we thoroughly visited every district for the introduction and distribution of the ministry literature. 

Peren is the land dominated by the Zeliangrong Naga tribe. This is also the tribe of which I belong to, by my physical birth, a Rongmei. I did not choose to be one but God made me so. Therefore, I do have feeling for this tribe to be brought to the full knowledge of the truth, especially the Rongmeis who are yet to believe into the Lord Jesus Christ. 

As we were driving towards the town, we passed through Jelukie, a Rongmei inhabited town. After a few miles drive past the town, I checked my Google map and it still showed Jelukie was ahead of us. But, we actually drive past the town. So I told the brother driving the car to crosscheck if we were on the wrong road. To my query, he stopped to check with the car coming behind us. It so happened that the other car driver was his old acquaintance. He then became our guide to the town. Later, he also gave the phone number of the key town Pastor. What a divine intervention even in the apparent mistake made by Google map!

Upon arrival at the town, we called the Pastor who just happened to walk passed by us where we stopped our car. He took us to his house and there, we fellowshipped with him concerning our visit to Peren town. He and his wife were so interested in the ministry books and we discovered a wide door open for the spread of the ministry of the word. The Lord sovereignly led us to him and his house and used him as the beachhead for His move in Peren town.

Later, a good number of brothers and sisters, mostly full time serving ones in the Christian mission came to see the ministry books. Whoever came were caught by the introduction of the ministry books especially the Holy Bible Recovery Version. In fact, everyone of them ended up purchasing the Holy Bible Recovery Version and a good number of selected title books.

We were amazed at the way the Lord led us. We knew nobody in this new place. But the Lord sent His angel through man to lead us to the right people and place. We literally did nothing except to stay in the Pastor's living room, displaying the ministry books, and introducing the riches of the ministry of the word to all who came to check out the books. All the while, enjoying the local tea made by the sister over and over again as we spent time with groups of people coming and going. 

After such a wonderful experience of Christ in His visible leading, we prayed together with our host and left the town at dusk, having fully accomplished our task this time.

Now, we pray for the Lord to speak to all these brothers and sisters through the ministry books unto their enlightenment to even bring them to the full knowledge of the truth.

Lord, bless the Zeliangrong brothers and sisters for Your testimony in Peren!
