Ministry of the Word to Tarn Taran

Amritsar was the city we planned to visit after Batala. But we did not have a contact. But as we were planning, a Pastor called us and invited us to visit him. But he was not in Amritsar but in Tarn Taran, a city about an hour's journey from Amritsar. Therefore, this city was added in our journey. 

This Pastor came in touch with the ministry books in Hindi at a Christian convention in Pathankot a week ago. As he was reading the book and praying, he felt the urge to call a number printed on the booklet. It was exactly at the same time that we were praying and planning for the distribution in Amritsar. Therefore, his phone call became the leading for us to visit Tarn Taran first.

In fact, I have been burdened to visit Tarn Taran since the time I first heard the name a couple of years ago. Though our trip to this city was not planned, the Lord fulfilled the burden he implanted many years ago in my heart. I can only marvel at the Lord’s mysterious way of leading us for His move.

As we fellowshipped with the Pastor who was a pioneer in this city for the gospel, he was so burdened for his son whom he also invited. When his son came, I introduced the Holy Bible Recovery Version in English.  Every sentence that I spoke became to him a new light and revelation. He was so excited by the depth of the truth presented in the footnotes of the Recovery Version. Somehow, the Lord led me to present Genesis 1:1 on God, Elohim in Hebrew,  plural noun, which signifies the Triune God. Then, Genesis 1:26. Then Matthew 1:1, 3,5,6,16. As I explained the footnotes in these verses on the Son of David, the Son of Abraham, the five women, he was completely taken aback. He proclaimed in exclamation, "Today is my second salvation!" So, within the short time he had, he received light after light, and placed order for the Holy Bible Recovery Version.

As we enjoyed the sumptuous meal provided by the Pastor, we prayed together and the Pastor and his wife blessed me literally. Through one of the Pastors whom he also invited to meet us, we got a contact for Amritsar finally, who then became our key contact for Amritsar. 

Lord, raise up Your testimony in Tarn Taran!
