Dumka has been in my heart for many years now, at least a decade, when I first heard about it based on the fact that one sister was gained through our books distribution in Delhi, being from this place. Finally, I got to visit this city for the introduction and distribution of the ministry literature.
We arrived the city by about midnight due to the train delay. Our host took care of us so well as we stayed for two days and two nights. Though we had no idea how to carry out the distribution, two full days we were busy meeting Pastors who came to visit us for the books. Instead of us going out to visit people under the hot sun with no transportation facility, the Lord brought people instead.
One Pastor after another, we were connected to different people. Our meeting with one Bishop was noteworthy. As we introduced the minister, we ended up spending over four hours in fellowship with him and his wife. They were so impressed by the depth of the truth and became very open to us. In fact, he further introduced and encouraged us to visit his relatives who are in two different districts. Therefore, two more new localities were added to our distribution list. It was truly the Lord’s sovereign hand behind the scene in all our meetings with dear fellow brothers in Christ. The timing, the place, and the openness, only the true and living God can do this. I reported the matter to the brothers with a message:
Update on the Ministry JourneyAfter West Bengal, we went to Dhanbad, Jamtala, Chittaranjan, and Dumka. One contact after another, the Lord led us to all these new places.Step by step, the Lord led us to meet the key people for the introduction and distribution of the ministry literature.In Dumka, Br. P___'s family took care of us very well. Many Pastors came to visit us in their house to receive the ministry books. Seeking Christian leaders and Pastors were very impressed with the ministry literature and purchased the ministry books. We also had a time of fellowship with an elderly couple who have been instrumental in bringing many political leaders and their family to salvation, including ex-CM's family members. He was so excited by the truth we presented through the ministry literature and requested us for at least 3 days seminars on the truth with all the Pastors in Dumka. He offered his meeting hall and accommodation in his campus for all who would join.The Lord led us further to a new area, Godda. Yesterday night, we had meeting with a couple who have been serving the Lord among the locals. The brother happens to be one of the ministers in the present Jharkhand government.Today and tomorrow, we plan to cover Madupur and Deogarh.Please continue to pray for the Lord’s move in Jharkhand.
Lord, raise up Your testimony in Dumka!
