Ministry of the Word to Dadri, Julana, and Jind

For the month of September, the plan was to go to Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, and all preparations including ticket booking were done for the ministry of the word literature journey. However, a few days before we set out, the key brother in Aligarh called to inform me that his daughter had a complication in her childbirth and that he needed to take care of her urgently. Therefore, the plan was abruptly canceled. I just took that as from the Lord and also fellowshipped with my coordinating brother. 

This sudden change of plan was rather shocking to me and I considered before the Lord carefully what the Lord wanted to do this time. Later, the Lord gave me a feeling to call a brother in Haryana whom we met last April. The moment I called him and enquired about the possibility of visiting him and his locality for the ministry books distribution, he was very positive and requested that we visit him but that he would also confirm with other brothers. When I called him he was about to leave for a meeting and promptly replied that he would discuss the matter with his coworkers as well. The following day, he called and confirmed and asked me to come. His call was like a "Macedonian Call." Therefore, I updated the brothers saying,"Our initial plan was to go to Uttar Pradesh. But at the last minute, we had to change the plan and go to Haryana instead. Then, we realized it was the Lord's specific leading at this time for this state."

And when they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, 

yet the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them. And bypassing Mysia, they came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul during the night: A certain man, a Macedonian, was standing and entreating him and saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us. And when he had seen the vision, we immediately endeavored to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to announce the gospel to them. Acts 16:7-10

The Lord’s Specific Leading

From 8th to 12th September, city by city, locality by locality, we witnessed and enjoyed the Lord’s leading again. He prepared the right people at the right place and at the right time to whom we could introduce and distribute the ministry literature and also minister the timely word of God. Though we set out to visit only six cities, the Lord led us to fourteen localities! This was the fulfillment of the "Macedonian(Haryanvi-Punjabi) Call" in Acts 16:7-10 we received on 8th Sept before we set out for this ministry of the word literature journey.

Dadri

The key Pastor whom we met in April 2023 and who also purchased the entire set of ministry books in Hindi had gathered together the key Christian leaders in Dadri. Since he appreciated the truth so much, he himself promoted the ministry books to other Christian leaders. We conducted a mini-conference for all these leaders and presented the truth using the ministry books we introduced and distributed. I ministered the present speaking of the Lord to me from my Bible reading portion that morning on faith growing, love growing, and the facing of persecution and afflictions which made us worthy of the kingdom of God. 

We ought to thank God always concerning you, brothers, even as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly and the love of each one of you all to one another is increasing, So that we ourselves boast in you among the churches of God concerning your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions which you bear, A plain indication of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be accounted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which also you suffer; 2 Thessalonians 1:2-5

The key Pastor himself made arrangements for such a meeting in a few other districts of Haryana, leading to more doors being opened for the spread of the ministry!

Julana

As directed by the Pastor in Dadri, we went to Julana and shared the word of God with a group of believers, mostly sisters, on eating, drinking, and breathing the Lord with an emphasis on calling upon the Lord's Name, which we also all called together out loud. Then, we introduced the ministry books to all the believers. Later, another group of pastors came and to them too we introduced the ministry books. These brothers had wanted to know our belief concerning the Trinity, therefore, I spent some time explaining to them the truth concerning the Triune God.

Jind

On our way to the night halt at Narwana, we passed by Jind and met with a Pastor. Though he was not very interested in the ministry books we presented, he was very interested in us and requested that we conduct one training for all his Bible school students whom he gathered from different parts of the state, and many of those were not very educated. We only told him that if such a plan is there we can consider it based on the time and our availability.  We leave the matter to the Lord if He so leads.

Lord, gain Dadri, Julana, and Jind for Your testimony!
