Ministry of the Word in Hunsur

While we were on the way to our first appointment in Mysuru for the distribution, I asked the local brother to make a call to one of the Christian leaders who was introduced to us in the last distribution trip in January 2025. Later, we received a call informing us of the meeting going on in Husnur. Therefore, as soon as we wrapped up the first meeting, we took four boxes of Kannasda New Testament Recovery Version and rushed to Hunsur, to their meeting place.

Once we were given the time for introduction, just about five minutes, as it was an impromptu insertion into their ongoing schedule, I exercised my spirit and introduced the Recovery Version to all the Chrstian leaders in the meeting, just touching the key points on accuracy of translation and useful study notes with the principle of the Bible interpreting the Bible. 

Later, after the meeting, the main leader invited me for a lunch fellowship with the other two main leaders. Then, the main leader and I had over an hour-long fellowship, one-on-one, where he testified of what the Lord has been doing in his life and how the Lord led him thus far despite all the opposition and attack from certain religious fanatics. In spite of all the opposition, the Lord has saved thousands of believers, and he has over a hundred serving ones serving with him.

Meanwhile, the other brothers were distributing (selling) the Kannada Recovery Version to whoever was interested in purchasing. AS I finished my fellowship with the main Pastor, he also placed an order for two boxes of the Bible and the Holy Bible Recovery version in English for himself. His co-worker and his Tamil translator also purchased another copy for himself. In this way, the two main leaders have the ministry books with them. 

Though the group is big and has over seven thousand in fellowship, this open door to the key leaders was very significant and timely. Though they called themselves by some big name, their hearts seemed to be keenly seeking the word of God. Now that they have the properly translated and interpreted word, I believe, the Lord will open up the Scriptures to them and show them his heart's desire. Perhaps, one day, the Lord will recover them for His testimony in Hunsur.

This visit to Hunsur was a big breakthrough in the distribution and also, I believe, in the propagation of the truth. We were all very excited and praised the Lord for such an opening in Karantaka among the local believers.

Lord, raise up Your testimony in Hunsur!
