Ministry of the Word in Nagercoil and Kanyakumari

As continuation of what was carried out in my last ministry literature journey to the South, I came again to complete what we left behind. After the fellowship in Chennai, I came again to Nagercoil and Kanyakumari for three days of ministry journey. 

This time, a brother, an ex-classmate of mine, picked me from the station. This was the first time I visited his house in Nagercoil. For the morning refreshment, I was at his house until another couple joined us for the day's schedule. The day was spent mostly visiting the saints' family and fellowshipping with them. In the visitation, one brother was also baptized after a good while of meeting with him. The saints' love had filled my stomach to the brim as they prepared lovefeasts.

For three days, we met the key Christian leaders identified by the local brother. As we introduced the Recovery Version Bible in English and Tamil, the Pastors were very impressed with the depth of the content of the footnotes as we quoted and also led them to read some selected portions. Whoever we met expressed their gratitude that we met them with the healthy word of God. Though a few of them had their doubts initially, after listening to our introduction and presentation, their doubts were clarified and they eventually purchased at least a copy for their own reading and studies. 

Since the ones we met stayed far apart, and the place of hospitality too, in the outskirt, we travelled a lot every day. Perhaps, on the average, three to four hours were just spent on traveling. So, I made use of these hours for fellowship with the serving saints, and also for my personal prayer time.

Along the way, as we travelled, we also visited some sightseeing places and got some photo shots. In a human way, the saints took care of me very well. It was a wonderful journey in coordination with the local serving ones. Thus, the burden this time was also released. We pray that the Lord will open the minds of the brothers and sisters who received the ministry literature and shine upon them to see the vision of God's eternal purpose concerning Christ and the church. Our burden is to supply the healthy teaching of the ministry of the word to our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. 

Lord, bless Your move and Your testimony in Nagercoil and Kanyakumari.
