Ministry of the Word in Porumamilla

As we began the ministry literature journey this time, our first destination was Porumamilla. We arrived at a brother's house early morning, just past midnight. We then had a few hours of sleep and attended the gathering of Christian leaders at the meeting hall of a brother in Porumamilla. As usual, the arrangement was that I would minister the word for about an hour with Telugu translation according to the Lord’s leading, and then another brother would introduce the ministry literature, followed by distribution sales. The local brothers made all the arrangements and coordinated with us in sweet oneness. What a blessing!

As the Lord led, I ministered on the "Word" as the incarnation of God in Christ Jesus for the dispensing of life to the believers as food and how the believers need to eat the Word as bread of life for growth in the divine life, day by day. The Christian leaders were so supplied by the ministry of the word. They testified that the need of the hour is the constitution of the word of God in the lives of the believers.

Later, a brother took us to visit a family whose three children are all in the medical field. To them, the Lord gave the word of love concerning the need of the Christians today to love the Lord. As I ministered on the need to love the Lord Jesus Christ as our first and best love, and how the presence of the Lord should be our daily enjoyment, the mother of the family was so much touched and she began weeping with tears of joy. I encouraged all the family members to love the Lord. The simple way is by telling the Lord Jesus, "Lord Jesus, I love You!" We called upon the Lord’s name, and I prayed for the family on their request. They were so supplied by the fellowship that they even wanted to offer money, but I kindly rejected it and let them know that the Lord has provided my needs. I further told them that as long as they love the Lord Jesus through the fellowship, my portion of the ministry to them was accomplished. The mother even testified that our visit was like she had witnessed the apostle Paul in the Bible visiting them. To her, I told that we are just Christians functioning according to the Lord’s leading to whoever the Lord lead us. May the Lord gain this family through the fellowship and through the ministry of the word.

May the Lord raise up His testimony in Porumamilla one day.
