Last week, I was in Hyderabad for two days with the burden to visit some of the key Christian leaders and groups for the introduction and distribution of the ministry books, especially, Telugu New Testament Recovery Version.
Though the local brothers did not plan any specific meeting, when we prayed and fellowshipped, the Lord led us to some key Christian leaders in the city. In fact, whatever the brothers tried to plan initially did not work out. Then, I searched on Google for some Christian groups and found a couple of them. One of those I selected and requested the brothers to drive to the address. This turned out to be a Pastor who loved the word of God very much. With him I could freely introduce the Holy Bible Recovery Version and fellowship at length on some deeper truth in the Bible. He also placed order for the ministry books in Telugu and a whole box of Telugu New Testament!
Then, we visited a couple of other Christian leaders with whom we introduced the Holy Bible Recovery Version. One father and son duo were so attracted by the truth I presented using Ephesians 1:5 and Matthew 1:1. The son immediately requestd if he could record my speaking on his phone. But I denied and rather told him that he could read the introduction done professionally on a web page. He further commented that the need of the hour was such Bible like the Recovery Version to help believers understand the word of God in a better way. They also placed order for the entire box of Telugu New Testament and English Holy Bible.
On the last day of my stay in Hyderabad, the Lord opened the door for us to introduce the Holy Bible Recovery Version in a Pastor's prayer fellowship. We were given just fuve minutes at the end of the meeting as the program was already fixed. We used that time wisely. Since I needed translation to Telugu, I presented the Recovery Version Bible in just two and half minutes and my brother translated into Telugu in another two and half minutes. The Lord led me to use the study note in Philippians 1:19, tracing the progressive revelation of the Spirit from Genesis till Revelation. This became a key attracting point for the Christian leaders present in the meeting.
Right after the meeting, many Pastors came and enquired more about the Recovery Version and purchased it. Almost one whole box was sold instantly. And some seeking contacts were introduced to the brothers in Hyderabad for their follow up shepherding.
Praise the Lord for His move in Hyderabad!
