Ministry of the Word to Kadiri

A week ago, I set out for the minsitry of the Word Literature journey again, this time in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, as this district is yet to have the Lord’s testimony established. Though the distribution was to begin on Monday, 17th November, but on the Lord’s Day, the brothers took me to Pulivendula with the hope that I could join the Lord’s Table meeting there. However, on the 16th Nov, Lord’s Day morning, we received an impromptu call and a surprise invitation from the Brethren Assembly in Kadiri. Therefore, we rushed to attend the meeting in Kadiri. 

In Kadiri, we introduced the New Testament Recovery Version in Telugu and English along with the minsitry books, and some brothers purchased them. Though we intend to go back after the meeting, we were invited to meet another brother in a nearby village who prepared a lovefeast for us and to whom we also introduced the ministry books. And this led to another brother and on to another Pentecostal Pastor. Ultimately, we ended up spending the whole day in Kadiri and went back to our lodging place in Pulivendula only in the night. The next day too, we spent the whole day in Kadiri and introduced the minsitry books to different Pastors.

This time, the arrangement was a one-on-one meeting with the Pastors. In most cases, I requested the local Telugu-speaking brothers to introduce the minsitry directly in Telugu. This helped the local brothers to function. I would do the speaking only when there was a need to do so in English and if it was required to minister the deeper truth to some key Christian leaders. 

May the Lord raise up His testimony in Kadiri among the brothers whom He has led us to sow the minsitry of the word.
