A brother in a village on the border of Haryana and Punjabi had received a free copy of BXL 1. Once we contacted him he was so eager to meet with us. In fact, when we actually met him, he literally forced us to stay overnight so that we could fellowship with his family. Though we had to meet and stay in another village, we canceled that and chose to stay with this brother based on his request. The family did their best to give traditional Punjabi hospitality with the best Punjabi dish and the best room in their newly built house. After dinner, we fellowshipped with the family on the practice of calling upon the Lord's name and led the entire family to call upon the Lord's name. We also encouraged them to call upon the Lord's name regularly, spend time reading the word of God, and pray daily. Since they were already believers, our burden was to strengthen their faith and their enjoyment of the Lord in a very practical way. He also introduced his brother who just moved to Gurugram for a job. With this family, our burden for the literature journey to Haryana was completed. As we were heading back to Gurugram the next day, the Lord gave me a burden to stop by two more cities, as we were passing through it anyway. Therefore, I made the necessary calls and made appointments with the brothers in two cities whom we met on a previous trip to Haryana in April this year.

Last April we met a Pastor who was very much impressed by the Holy Bible Recovery Version. This time as we met him again, he testified to us of the new lights and revelations he received through studying this Bible. Since he was open to us, I expounded the truth concerning the church in her local and universal aspect, the church as the Body of Christ and the one new man. Upon hearing the truth, he immediately enquired if we could conduct training for him and his coworkers across a few states of North India. Since this matter had to be brought into the fellowship of the brothers, I did not feel good to go ahead with this proposal. This matter is to be considered carefully in coordination with the work and the churches that can do the follow-up. After the fellowship over lunch, we prayed and left for the next city Jhahjjar.
Jhajjar
A brother in this city is the one who got saved while he was in Gurugram many years ago. This time the burden was to visit him and console him as he recently lost his father. As we met him, I could only listen to all his pains and struggles in the fight for his father's health. I could only comfort him with the comfort of Christ by helping him call upon the name of the Lord out loud in his office and praying together with him. I also helped him to read a message in Hindi on Christ is the Meaning of Human Life. The ministry spoke by itself, and he got the message. May the Lord fully recover him for His testimony.
Lord, raise up Your testimony in Baragodha, Kalanaur, and Jhajjar!
