Ministry of the Word in Chittore, Kuppam, and Peranambat

Chittore

In Chittore, we visited two Christian groups. As usual, the brothers arranged for the ministering of the word, and then we introduced the Telugu New Testament Recovery Version. 

These groups were introduced to us by a seeking Pastor whom we met in the last distribution trip in January 2025. Since then, he has been in fellowship with the local brothers and has been introducing the ministry to other Christian groups. Through this brother, this time we were able to meet and introduce the Recovery Version to three other Christian groups in three different localities. 

The ministry has been spreading through word-of-mouth by the seekers themselves!

Kuppam 

In Kuppam too, we visited two Christian groups. One Christian leader testified that he was in fear before he met us, doubting if we were a “cult” group. But after he heard us out, he solemnly testified that he now reverentially fears God, who is righteous and holy. He was so impressed by the ministry that he purchased the Recovery Version in English and Telugu for himself and his coworkers. He also followed us in other meeting in the same city and expressed his desire to be in fellowship with us.

Peranambat

In Peranambat, we had a day Christian Pastors' Conference. This conference for the ministry books introduction and distribution was held through a seeking brother whom we met in our last distribution trip in January 2025. In fact, this was the second such meeting arranged in this city. This was a gathering conducted in coordination of Amana, Rhema, and the church in Vellore. These group of Pastors have been very appreciative of the ministry as they have received and are reading the free Rhema books, title books, and the Recovery Version.

After the meeting, one sister who has been under the shepherding of the church nearby invited us to visit her family. Therefore, we visited her and spent an hour of fellowship with her.  Initially, we let her flow out whatever she had to say. Then, she joyfully testified how the ministry has saved her from taking extreme step in her life due to the depression she had been going through. She testified of her experience and enjoyment of the Lord the ministry has brought to her personally. She even expressed her desire to learn the truth more, and perhaps, to be trained. 

After her testimony, I shared from the book of Galatians, chapter by chapter, showing the Christian experience in each chapter; 

Galatians 1: The Revelation of Christ is from God the Father seen in the spirit issuing in regeneration of the Spirit making us the children of God.

To reveal His Son in me that I might announce Him as the gospel among the Gentiles, immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood, (Galatians 1:16, RecVer)
And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in the heavens. (Matthew 16:16-17, RecVer)
I was in spirit on the Lord’s Day and heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, (Revelation of John 1:10, RecVer)

Galatians 2: The Living of Christ for our Christian life after the revelation of the Son of God. The Christian life is the life of living Christ daily.

I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. (Galatians 2:20, RecVer)

Galatians 3: Becoming the Sons of God through the growth in life from being children of God.
For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:26, RecVer)
Galatians 4: The Formation of the Son of God through transformation. 
My children, with whom I travail again in birth until Christ is formed in you, (Galatians 4:19, RecVer)

This formation of Christ in the believers is the daily transformation a believer needs to go through. This is also in line with God working all things together for good to conform His children into the image of the Firstborn Son of God. 

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Because those whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brothers; (Romans 8:28-29, RecVer)

But we all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:18, RecVer)

Galatians 5: What goes along with this growing in life is the living and walking by the Spirit. This is also the practical way to experience and enjoy the growth in life.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore, and do not be entangled with a yoke of slavery again. (Galatians 5:1, RecVer)

If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. (Galatians 5:25, RecVer)

Galatians 6: Finally, for such a Christian life, living and walking by the Spirit, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is required.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen. (Galatians 6:18, RecVer)

The sister was so touched by the Lord that she took notes of whatever I ministered. She was so supplied and expressed her deep desire to learn the truth more. Since she has been under shepherding, I trust the Lord that she will be fully recovered to be a useful vessel to the Lord. May the Lord gain her fully for His testimony.
