Ministry of the Word to Bilaspur(UP), Pakwara, and Moradabad

The brother who helped us from the previous places we visited so far had no clue about our onward journey. But the Lord already arranged a brother through the free books distributed online by Rhema Distributor. This brother was actually shepherded by the contact we had. He willingly received us at his home in Bilaspur and we had a wonderful time of fellowship with his family and the family of his friend. They all were from Catholic backgrounds but had left that fold and gathered as a small flock shepherded by this key brother who received us warmly. They were quite simple and received all that we had to minister. 

The key brother further took us to visit a good number of Pastors in the villages. Surprisingly, the entire area of about twelve villages was all Christian. It was indeed a surprise to learn that in such a district a good number of Christians have been preserved by the Lord.

 

After we met all that have to be met, we moved on to our next and last destination for this trip, Moradabad. Since the brother we knew is a working dental doctor in the vicinity, Pakwara, we went there and were accommodated in the medical college guest house. It was indeed a new experience there. After the trip, I wrote to the brothers with the photo of the guest house captioning as:

On the last two days of our distribution trip, the Lord arranged our hospitality in the guest house of a medical college where our host, our brother, is a medical doctor. The Lord took good care of us throughout the trip. In a village hut or in a city mansion, we enjoyed the Lord’s presence, all the same. 

Hymn #348

What matters where on earth we dwell?

On mountain top, or in the dell,

In cottage, or a mansion fair,

Where Jesus is, my joy is there!

In Moradabad, eight Christian leaders gathered together and they gave us time to introduce and distribute the ministry literature. Though they were quite scared initially as they have been facing persecution, when we met them they were very joyful with the word we ministered to them.

On the Lord’s day, I had a feeling within me that we should attend the Lord’s day meeting of a particular Pastor who impressed me among all. But I prayed and waited to fellowship with my fellow brothers. Once we all agreed in one accord, I called up the Pastor and enquired if we could attend the meeting, he spontaneously welcomed us and also requested me to minister the word.

On the Lord’s day meeting in Moradabad, I and a brother ministered the word of God on the truth concerning the daily need for breathing, drinking, and eating the Lord. I used all the relevant Bible verses to minister to them the timely word. I also led them to call upon the Lord Jesus's name and pray-read a verse, John 6:63. All the believers responded with much joy. I trust the Lord that His word was a rich supply to all the believers. Later, we had further time together with the family members of the Pastor over lunch. I do believe through the continual shepherding by the ministry of the word, the Lord can recover them to take the ground of oneness and take the stand as the church in Moradabad one day. Thus, the Lord blessed us again in this trip. Then, as a conclusion, I wrote to the brothers:

Altogether, the Lord led us to 11 localities for the distribution of the ministry literature in one week's time in Uttar Pradesh. All these places were our first visit and there is no local church yet. 

May the Lord bless the sowing of the seed of the ministry of the word unto the raising up of His testimony one day!

Thank you Brothers, for all your prayers!

Glory to God, hallelujah!
