Ministry of the Word in Nanjangod, Chamarajanagar, and Kodagu

Nanjangod

As soon as we introduced the Recovery Version, the President and Secretary’s faces were beaming with joy! They spontaneously praised God for finally making such a study Bible available in Kannada, even offered prayer of thanksgiving to God, and also prayed for us. 

In fact, in order to make the Recovery Version known to other Pastors and believers, the “spokesperson” for the entire Christian community in the town made a video recording of the introduction of the Recovery Version in Kannada encouraging all the members to purchase a copy each, and sent the recording in their WhatsApp group. They placed a bulk order and took the initiative to introduce and distribute the Recovery Version by themselves.

They also requested the Old Testament Recovery Version in Kannada. They even confessed that though many new ones were brought to salvation through their evangelical ministry, there is a dearth of the healthy teaching available in Kannada. They testified that they have been praying for spiritual materials for the believers’ growth in life and that what we just introduced, the Kannada Recovery Version, is the answer to their prayers!

Chamarajanagar - Siddainpur and Chandakvadi

As we introduced the Recovery Version to the President of the Pastor’s Association, he himself picked up the burden and took us to meet the key Pastors in the locality. Everyone to whom we introduced the Recovery Version purchased it.

This main Pastor was introduced to us by another Pastor we met in the last distribution trip in January 2025, who was introduced to the ministry by another Pastor who received the ministry books in a public Christian meeting a few years ago in Maharastra. The taste of the ministry brought forth well-speaking of the ministry from Pastors to Pastors and to believers. 

Though this main Pastor heard about the ministry from another Pastor, he was not sure what kind of ministry we minister or what kind of men we were, as we met for the first time. So, he gave us the opportunity to minister the word of God in a home meeting attended by some twenty believers. As we ministered the word, he cross-checked every Bible verse we quoted and carefully noted the burden we released. After hearing us out, he became very positive and made all the necessary arrangements to meet with other Pastors in town. He became our “co-worker,” at least, for the spread of the ministry in his locality.  

Kodagu - Suntikoppa and Virajpet

The main Pastor, upon learning the usefulness of the Recovery Version, invited us to introduce it in a Youth Meeting where some 500 young people gathered together. Besides, the two Pastors themselves took a few boxes of the Recovery Version for promoting it to the believers in their congregations.

City by city, town by town, Christian group to Christian group, the Lord led us; one step at a time, and these were all new places and new people we met for the first time. 

Wherever we went, the Lord’s presence was with us, and He gave us open doors for the spread of the ministry, especially in Karnataka. 

The Lord has answered the prayers of the Body. All glory to Him!

Because out from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen. Romans 11:36
