Ministry of the Word to Kaithal, Hansi, Hisar, Fatehabad, and Sirsa

Kaithal
A Pastor who had received the free ministry books online was willing to meet with us on being called. Since he was a working one he initially introduced us first to another Pastor in whose meeting hall we met. The venue was quite suitable for fellowship and a perfect spot for the introduction of the ministry literature. When about four brothers came together, we introduced the ministry to them. They were so eager to read the ministry books in Hindi after we introduced them. They were so glad that the truth had finally been brought to them as they had acknowledged that apart from the Bible they do not have good Christian literature in Hindi.

As the fellowship continued on and on, it was getting late. One of the Pastors invited us to stay overnight so that we could have more time for fellowship. We obliged and prolonged our fellowship. As we stayed overnight, the Pastors' family gave was warm hospitality, the wife serving us Bihari fish curry for dinner. The next day, as we were about to depart for our next destination, they testified that through our visitation God had visited his family as He visited Abraham with three men in Genesis 18:2.

Hansi
The Lord faithfully led us step by step again to meet with seeking Christian workers who once requested free online ministry books distributed by Rhema. It was on the Lord's Day morning, the 10th of September, that we arrived at his residence which had an adjacent room for a meeting hall. When we entered the meeting hall, the Pastor's mother immediately declared to the entire congregation that the Lord had fulfilled the vision she saw a few days ago. Therefore, even before we introduced ourselves or the ministry, they blindly invited us to minister the word in their congregation at the Lord’s Day meeting. The Lord gave us the timely word as we showed them the way and helped them to breathe, drink, and eat the Lord! Actually, the Pastor’s mother had seen a vision on 7th September during her prayer time that three men in white dresses would visit them and when she saw us she was so joyful. After the meeting, we had a time of fellowship over lunch and introduced the ministry to them using the ministry books. The entire family has the burden to serve the Lord, especially for gospel preaching among the local people. The father of the family is a vegetable and fruit seller; wherever he went to sell, he would also preach the gospel to his customers.

Hisar
In this city, the Lord led us to a brother who is an administrative officer in a hospital in Hisar. As we met him in his office, he shared the burden he had for the gospel and that he would not want to burden anyone with his financial needs. Therefore, he took up a job and served the Lord during his free time. He does this mostly through online meetings. When he learned that we had no prior arrangements for the night stay, he invited us to his one-room accommodation with only one single bed. But his was was large enough not to consider the inconveniences we caused to him. We also readily accepted his hospitality with the view of spending time with him more fellowship, though we could comfortably stay in a hotel room.  There, we had a time of prayer and fellowship with him and slept on the floor for the night. The next day we left early morning to meet a few other Christian leaders for the ministry books introduction.  In this way, the Lord led us to the people whom He wanted us to meet. The Lord also sent a brother to lead us to meet other Pastors in Hisar, Fatehabad, and Sirsa. 

Fatehabad
In this city, we could not do much as we were able to meet only one key Christian leader who runs a Christian book shop. Since he chose a hotel for fellowship over lunch, we did not feel good for him to treat us, instead, we treated him. In fact, this was the only time we ate at a hotel during our entire trip. For everywhere we went, at lunchtime or dinner or breakfast, whoever we met at those times, provided in love, a brotherly meal.

Sirsa
In the meeting hall of the senior Pastor, we displayed the ministry books and introduced them to the contacts we had in Sirsa. Since this Pastor and his meeting hall were well known in the city, many other contacts came to meet us right there. Though we could not fellowship in-depth on the truth to any of the Pastors we met, still we thank the Lord that the ministry books have been widely distributed. Only after the seekers read the ministry books and the Lord manifests His remnants, then we can visit the city again for follow-up.

Lord, raise up Your testimony in Kaithal, Hansi, Hisar, Fatehabad, and Sirsa!
