Roopnagar, Fatehgarh, Patiala, Rajpura
On day three, through the contact from Hoshiarpur, we came to meet a family of a Pastor who welcomed us with "heavy breakfast and lunch" in a Punjabi style. Physical, we were fed richly. We reciprocated by faithfully ministering the word, introducing and distributing the ministry literature to these ones.
Just in one home, a few Pastors from the nearby cities came to meet us. So we were able to cover the Pastors in different areas just in one place. In this way, the Lord made the distribution easier and faster. We did our best with what we could, the Lord did the rest.
One Pastor in Patiala was very impressive. Just by fellowshipping with him I could sense the experiences he must have been having with the Lord. Though we was from Jharkhand, the Lord blessed him among the Punjabis in the remote village of Patiala. Through his labor, he was able to build up faithful believers and it was visible when we visited him. Even the kind of questions he asked for clarification and his reaction towards buying the ministry books by first paying what he could and his promise to regularly pay off the books ordered proved his stability in the faith. This was the manifestation of his growth in life and maturity, unlike some others we met. The Lord remembered his heart's longing and He took us to meet with him. May the Lord bless him richly with the riches of His words even unto the recovery of His truth to him for His testimony.
And now I commit you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who have been sanctified. (Acts 20:32, RecVer)
Lord, shepherd the believers in Punjab with Your word!
Punjab for Christ and the church!
