Ministry of the Word Distribution in Gurugram

On the 14th of November, the Lord opened the door for the ministry of word to be introduced and distributed to the two main bible colleges in Gurugram. Though the ministry station for India has been here in this city for about two decades now, not once have we gone to visit these Bible colleges. The two main reasons for not visiting were, first, the oldest Bible college was visited when we first came to Gurugram in 2005/2006. However, the college after receiving the free ministry literature rejected it due to someone's opposition. We came to this through one of the Bible college students who mentioned what transpires there in the college. Since then, we have not paid attention to someone who would not receive the ministry. Second, a decade after that incident, the son of the owner of the same Bible college found us online and visited our office in Gurugram where he purchased all the ministry books available at that time, for the college library. Since he came and purchased all the ministry books in publication, we did not find the need to go there again. And we were not aware of another Bible college in Farukhnagar. Though I heard about it through another brother I did not know that it was a full-fledged Bible college. My thought was that it was a small Christian institute.

But this time, I received an email requesting twenty free copies of Affirmation & Critique. While checking the address, it was the same college that I heard about. So, I felt it was the time to visit the college personally. On the one hand to deliver the required journals and on the other hand to have an onsite visit of the college premises itself. In that way, there can be an open door for the ministry literature to spread further in North India even through Christina institutes, workers, and believers. After over an hour's drive, we arrived at the college and met with the Chief Librarian, the Director, and then the Principal of the college. As we introduced the ministry books, they were interested in getting all the free books and also to review the ministry books in English and Hindi. So, the ministry publication was delivered to them for their review and further order, if need be. Praise the Lord that they were receiving the ministry books for the first time. May the Lord grant them the spirit of wisdom and revelation to see the divine revelation of the Bible expounded through the minsitry literature.

On our way back, about half an hour's drive from Farukhnagar, we drop by another Bible college at Dhankot. Though it was an impromptu visit, the principal accepted the ministry books for their reference, and a box of ministry books in Hindi was handed over to them. In fact, this college already received the ministry publication about a decade ago.

In this way, despite the opposition from the enemy in spreading the gospel in North India, the Lord still preserved some open doors through which the ministry literature could still spread. Later, we had a home meeting at a new one's home in Sector 4 where the entire family except the head of the family, a brother in the church life, is yet to fully receive and accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. They have been joining the home meeting and have called upon the name of the Lord many many times. Gradually, the Lord is saving His chosen ones for His testimony in the midst of the local inhabitants.

Lord, bless Your move in North India.
