Ministry of the Word

I have the privilege of traveling to different parts of India to introduce and distribute the ministry books. While I am not traveling I am still honored to minister the ministry of the word to the saints. Whether I am traveling or not the Lord is gracious to give me the opportunity to participate in the ministry. While I traveled the ministry is to different Christian groups, ministering the word of God, mostly based on my truth constitution as I did not know who I am meeting and what message would be appropriate for them. I followed the inner anointing and minister as the Lord leads inwardly. While I am stationed, I minister mostly to the saints and it's mostly an arrangement in the Body through fellowship that I know what to minister. In fact, I studied first, prayed over, prepared myself, and ministered the word. Either way, I am participating in the ministry of the word. What a blessing!

Once I came back from my ministry literature journey, I was engaged in the local church perfecting meeting, then the Karnataka seekers' meeting, and the church's PSRP meeting. The ministry of the word is so rich that I do not need to produce new teachings per se. I simply have to go through the prepared outlines, pray over, study, enjoy, and minister. In a sense, I need not go to the field to plow, sow, and then reap the harvest. The field has already been plowed, sowed, ripened, and harvested. I simply need to cook the produce of the field and serve it to the saints. I simply inherit from what the brothers have already labored. After all, we are in the same ministry. What my brothers have already worked on, I simply picked it up and reproduced the same thing. The ministry has been attested and approved, it has been experienced by many already, and I am benefiting from the brothers' labor and passing it on to the saints. Praise the Lord!

"Life grows by regulation toward maturity and function" was the message for the perfecting meeting. In this meeting, the regulation was emphasized. The best training is the strictest one. Life grows best in a training environment with strict rules and regulations. 

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

The goal of our growth in life is for our maturity in life and functioning for the building up. Such functioning also depends on our diligence. 

Though I was the one to minister this truth in coordination with a brother, I feel I need this message the most. I am not a teacher though I minister, I am a learner too even as I minister.

Another message I coordinated with a brother is on "THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST", an excerpt from The Basic Elelemtn of the Christian Life Vol. 1.

1 John 1:9: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 

Why do you need the blood of Christ? Because, essentially, fallen man has three basic problems. These three problems involve three parties: God, yourself, and Satan. Toward God, you often sense separation. Within yourself, you often sense guilt. And from Satan, you often sense accusation. These three—separation from God, feelings of guilt, and accusation from Satan—can be three big problems in your Christian life. How can these be overcome? Only by the blood of Christ.

SEPARATION FROM GOD

Because God is righteous, He cannot tolerate sins. God loves you, but He abhors your sins. For God to come, sins must go. There is only one thing in the entire universe that can take away sins—the precious blood of Christ. No amount of prayer, no amount of weeping, no ritual, no penance, no promise to do better, no guilty feeling, no period of waiting—no, nothing but the precious blood of Christ—can remove sins. When you confess your sins, immediately all distance between you and God is gone. If God esteems the blood of Christ sufficient to remove your sins, can you do the same?

GUILT IN YOUR CONSCIENCE

Sins offend God on the one hand and defile us on the other. What is guilt? Guilt is the stain of sins on your conscience. 

Hebrews 9:14 says, “How much more will the blood of Christ…purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” 

The blood of Christ is powerful enough to purge, or cleanse, your conscience from every guilty stain. Because Christ’s death has paid the debt of sin, His blood may now wipe out the record of that debt. Remember 

If God forgets your sins, you may forget them also. Don’t remind God of something He has already forgotten. 

ACCUSATION FROM SATAN

Satan, “your adversary…as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking someone to devour” (1 Pet. 5:8). For this warfare, you need the proper weapons. One important weapon which you must utilize is the blood of Christ. Nothing cripples a Christian spiritually more than accusation. 

God’s demand is at once satisfied by the blood. If you confess your sin and claim the precious blood, yet some uneasiness continues to tug at you within, you should stop praying immediately. Do not confess anymore. Rather, turn to the source of the accusation and say something like

this: “Satan, I have confessed my sin to God. He has forgiven my sin, and the blood of Jesus Christ has cleansed me from it. The Christian life is a kind of warfare. 

A DAILY LIFE FULL OF GOD’S PRESENCE

By the power of the precious blood of Christ, it is possible for a Christian to live moment by moment in God’s presence.  “Let us come forward…with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience” (Heb. 10:22).  “If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from every sin.” (1 John 1:7)

At the PSRP meeting, I enjoyed ministering on these points which helped me. 

For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the spirit is life and peace. Romans 8:6

In order to live according to the principle of the tree of life, we need to follow the inner sense of  life—v. 6; Eph. 4:18-19; Isa. 40:31: The sense of life on the negative side is the feeling of death—Rom. 8:6a. The sense of life on the positive side is the feeling of life and peace, with a consciousness of strength, satisfaction, rest, brightness, and comfort—v. 6b.

We learn from Romans 8 that we need to turn our being to the living One who dwells in our spirit and stay one with Him—v. 6b; 1 Cor. 6:17. When we set our mind on the spirit, we have life, peace, light, comfort, and strength; our thirst is quenched, and our hunger is satisfied—Rom. 8:5, 6b; John 4:14; 7:37-38; Matt. 5:6. When we set our mind on the spirit, our mind is full of life and peace—Rom. 8:6b: We have peace because there is no discord between our outward behavior and our inner being—v. 6b; Isa. 9:6-7; 26:3. When we speak with our mind set on the spirit, life is embodied in our words because we are one spirit with the Lord—Prov. 18:21; John 6:63; Eph. 4:29.

A Timely Promise

Every place on which the sole of your foot treads I have given to you, as I promised Moses. Joshua 1:3

Today, the 20th of March 2021, as I was reading my bible, as usual, a verse caught my attention and upon careful study, it became a Rhema word to me from the Lord. It is the Lord's promise for all the ministry journeys He has been leading me and the brothers in coordination in the Body, with the Body, and for the Body.

In fact, of late I have been reconsidering the ministry literature journey that I had undertaken. Though the burden was to introduce and distribute the ministry literature to different people at different places, there also is a need for considerable sales as it cost money to undertake such journeys. Nothing is free, everything comes with a price, even a big price in terms of finance, time, and energy too. I just expressed my feeling about being more on the propagation of the ministry rather than the sales,  to the brother coordinating with me. Yes, initially there needs to be some investment in terms of money and time. Even as I reckon all the gifts of ministry books to some Christians as a foretaste for them, it was indeed a "time-bomb" spiritually to explode one day for the Lord's testimony through whom these books would sow the seed of the ministry and grow and develop. When in such mood and consideration, the word of God came as a timely reply to my concerns about the recent distribution journey where we gave out more books as gifts rather than sales.

The word of God is plain and clear. Every place on which the sole of your foot treads I have given to you. As I recollected the names of the places that I undertook recently, they are very encouraging. It spans over four north Indian Hindi-speaking states, namely Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand, and Bihar, so far this year. I believe the promise holds true for all the past journeys and the future journeys to happen as He leads on and on. So far the names of the place that we actually trod with the soles of our feet are Bilaspur, Khariar Road, Korba, Raipur, Ranchi, Khunti, Tatanagar, Patna, Dehri On Sone, Itwa, Bahuara, Talimpur, Rajewpur, and Sirhara. The Lord will raise up His testimony in all these localities. That's the promise of God, and He will do it in time!

Besides, the word of God further states:

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall muse upon it day and night so that you may be certain to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous and then you will have success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and take courage; do not be afraid or dismayed. For Jehovah your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:8, 9

The condition for the fulfillment of the promise is to abide by the word of God, which today is the abiding in the Lord as the Spirit in my spirit, and my obedience to all His words. With such conditions fulfilled, the promised prosperity and success will be fulfilled. His word says, "you will make your way prosperous and then you will have success". Once in obedience I submit to His word, it is I who will make my way prosperous, and then I will have success. This is the principle of incarnation, God working with man, and man working with God. For God to gain what He wants to gain He must first gain man through whom He can gain what He wants to gain.

May the will of the Lord be done. May His promise be fulfilled. May He gain me to gain what He wants to gain through me.

An Impromptu Interview

It was last Thursday, while I was winding up the urgent things that needed to be done before I left for a week's ministry literature journey when brothers from New Delhi came to visit my family to interview my wife for a gospel propagation work. The burden is to hear from those who have served and who are still serving in India in the gospel move. This interview was concerning their living, burden, and the situation, perhaps, information or testimony to others to pray for India. Better would be that this will work out to burden many young saints to love the Lord and love what the Lord loves, to preach the gospel, and raise up the Lord's testimony as a preparation for His coming again. The series of interviews is title "Flying Eagles" translated into English, verbatim. 

As I welcomed and made arrangements for the hospitality to the visiting saints since they came to the literature office where the video recording of the interview also took place, I deemed it my responsibility to treat the saints well. I did my bit and was rushing to get ready to eat my lunch and catch my flight. Then I was informed that before I left, I need to be interviewed as my wife was also to be interviewed. At such a busy and tight scheduled, I still tried my best to be ready for the interview.

There I was, dressed up formally, and faced the camera for the interview alongside my beloved wife. The inward preparation I had was, I exercised my spirit, turning to the Lord, and let the Lord answer in my answering to the interviewer's questions. The first question was to describe how the Lord began His move in the North East, especially, the present day of the church in Aizawl. My innate reply was, it was the move of the Spirit, seeking and searching for the ones He had already predestinated. And I explained, to the best of my knowledge, how the Lord moved in the hearts of some seekers, through the ministry literature, The Orthodoxy of the Church by brother Watchman Nee. And explained further how this book which was translated to Mizo became instrumental in raising up a good number of local churches all over Mizoram. I also described what transpired when I first visited Aizawl in 2006, then in 2007, and how the church was recovered into the fellowship of the Body of Christ.

The second question was how I got married to a sister from Taiwan; what was my feeling when we went through the proposal, and how it all worked out that we both could get married and be brought together for the Lord's move in India. I gave the testimony of my experience of the Lord's was leading me in my marriage, and how the Lord did the preparatory works in me by dealing with my self with all its preferences and choices. And that how the Lord began to gain me even in my marriage for His testimony. I also testified to the Lord's specific leading in how I actually said amen to the brother's proposal for my marriage with a single word "amen". And how the Lord has been leading me on and on and blessed my family life till today, and that the Lord will do so in the coming days. 

This was my first impromptu interview with the historical fact as my objective description and my exercised spirit as my subjective expression. With this impromptu interview, I fulfilled my responsibility based on the brother's request. I hope this would mean something to someone, someday.  

Our Coordination: The Lord's Move in Bihar

Three weeks ago while we were in Ranchi, as we fellowshipped the burden for visiting Bihar came up. Later, we prayed about it and decided to pursue it further. As I brought the matter before the Lord in prayer, I got a confirmation in my spirit that we should plan and proceed. Then I checked with my brother if he should draft the letter to be written to the particular organization we planned to visit to seek an appointment. His immediate reply was that I should do the drafting. Though I tried to make excuse by stating that I had other things to do, the Lord led me to simply take that as His leading and I replied back with the word, "Amen". The next day, I drafted the email, we fellowshipped about it, and then finally sent the following:

To:

CEO and General Secretary

GEMS, India

Subject: Seeking an Appointment

 

Dear Brother,

Greetings in the Name of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ!

We are a full-time serving staff from Amana Literature and Rhema Literature Distributors. We are writing to you to seek an appointment and fellowship with you concerning the Christian literature we have been translating and distributing in India, particularly the Hindi literature, of books by Brother Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. We have the Hindi literature both for FREE mass distribution and for SALES as well.

We are very impressed by the Lord's work through you and the ministry the Lord, as the Head of the Body, has apportioned to you. We look forward to the privilege of meeting with you and having an eye witness to the works the Lord has been doing through you and introduce to you the books we are distributing.

Our tentative plan is to visit you between 11 (Thursday) and 12 (Friday) of March 2021, according to your availability, or you may kindly suggest your convenient date. Please do let us know of your availability so that we can plan our journey.

Awaiting your reply and looking forward to meeting and fellowshipping with you.

Thank you, Brother.

Your Brothers in Christ,

Palmeichung Rongmei, Director - Amana Literature

Babu Venkadesh, Managing Partner - Rhema Literature Distributors

A brief description about us: 

Amana Literature is a representative of Living Stream Ministry that is primarily dedicated to the publication of the ministry of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee and publishes the books of Living Stream Ministry with permission. Just as these two servants of our Lord Jesus Christ faithfully continued the heritage of ministry that the Lord delivered to the church, it is our aim to follow their faithful pattern by distributing the riches of Christ for the building up of the Body of Christ. Their writings focus on the enjoyment of the divine life and on the building up of the church, the goal of the work of God with man in this age. 

Amana Literature has one goal: to supply spiritual food for the nourishment of all believers that they may grow in the divine life for the sake of the building up of the Body of Christ. Amana Literature - The Ministry of the Word for All! 

 

Rhema Literature Distributors is a group of believers throughout the earth engaged in a single mission - to actively distribute the highest quality Christian literature. In over 100 countries and more than 35 languages, we distribute according to a simple principle - all our literature is given away completely free. We are distributing the books that have helped us the most to understand the Bible and to know and experience Christ in our daily life. In particular, we work closely with Living Stream Ministry to distribute a number of key titles by their authors. We are a nonprofit charity whose distribution is made possible by gifts from believers and churches from all over the world. They have entrusted us with the means to be a free and broad channel of supply to all those seeking to know God in a deep and satisfying way. In India, free distribution of books is carried out in 8 languages. Free Christian Books | Rhema Literature Distributors (rhemabooks.org)

After a few more exchanges of emails, the plan was confirmed to visit GEMS in Dehri On Sone from 12 to 14 March 2021. 

One thing I experienced very particularly was when we were asked to share a message on the Lord's day even before we met them. This was the first time in my life in which I was asked to share a message in a big gathering by a well-known Christian leader even before we actually met and fellowshipped. When I took the matter to the Lord in prayer, the Lord's speaking was definite: He is a member of the Body so are you. It is I, the Head(Christ), who arranges the meeting. Then, I was comforted and confirmed of the Lord's leading and trust the Lord for His fulfillment. The Lord also gave me the burden to share on the three subjective signs of the Lord's called ones in Exodus 4. So I fellowshipped with my brother and prepared accordingly.

We visited and experienced the Lord's leading step by step as blogged in http://palmeichung.blogspot.com/2021/03/gems-visit.html

After the visit, we wrote back a mil of thanks today, A Note of Thanks!

Let brotherly love continue. Heb 13:1

Dear Bro. Augustine Jebakumar,

Thank you so much for your time of brotherly fellowship and prayer. It was indeed the Lord's grace and sovereignty that we could meet and fellowship face to face at your residence. We were so thankful to the Lord for all that He has been doing through you and the saints serving in coordination with you.

 

May the Lord continue to grace and bless you and the ministry He has apportioned to you in His Body for the building up of His Body. 

And He Himself gave some as apostles and some as prophets and some as evangelists and some as shepherds and teachers,

For the perfecting of the saints unto the work of the ministry, unto the building up of the Body of Christ. Ephesians 4:11,12

 

We pray that the little that we could offer in the form of Christian literature will be a blessing. Should there be any need for more literature in English, Hindi, Tamil, or any other Indian language, please do let us know. As much as the Lord graces us, we would willingly participate in whatever we can, within our capacity.

Let brotherly love continue. Hebrews 13:1 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your (our) spirit, brothers. Amen. Galatians  6:18

Our prayers will be with you and for the Lord's move in the Hindi-speaking belt of North India, especially Bihar.

Note: Attached are the photos we took on 13th and 14th March 2021.

Thank you, Brother!

Your Brothers in Christ,

Palmei, Babu, and Fredrick

Our brother in Patna who just had shifted from Ranchi became a stepping stone for His move to Bihar. And another contact through two sisters in Gurugram became another stepping stone for the Lord's move. In marvelous ways, the Lord worked everything together for good. The saints were praying as we traveled to different parts of Bihar; Patna, Dehri On Sone in Rohtas, and Itwa in Chakia. So it was the move in the Body, with the Body, and for the Body!

Ministry of the Word Literature Journey to Bihar

In Itwa, Bihar, where we visited for the ministry literature distribution, our host had welcomed us into their family and their church meeting for fellowship. Every morning they have the family habit of getting up at 5 AM for a family devotion, followed by prayer, personal Bible study and prayer, then household work, and then going to village by village for the gospel ministry. 

In our two nights stay there, we enjoyed wonderful hospitality according to the standard of our host, and we adapted to it with the all-fitting life of the Lord Jesus in us. When a special seekers meeting was arranged, we introduced the free Rhema books, and then I ministered on the three aspects of salvation: the eternal salvation, the daily salvation, and the household salvation.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone who believes into Him would not perish, but would have eternal life. 

Philippians 2:12-13

12. So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13. For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for His good pleasure. 

Acts 16:30-31

30. And leading them outside, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31. And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, you and your household. 

This simple message has touched the hearts of the Christian leaders so much so that they came to fellowship with me on how much blessed they were through the ministry of the word. After this, our host's trust in us in Biblical understanding, expositions, and revelation of the truths had grown so much that they requested us to stay one more day and minister the word with them to the new people. In fact, our spiritual bond became so strong in just a day's time that we fellowshipped dearly as brothers in Christ on many family and spiritual matters.

In two mornings' devotion, we shared on Christ making His home in our hearts and calling upon the name of the Lord, which was also new to them. Immediately, they began to practice calling upon the name of the Lord. In fact, as they called audibly, they also experienced the Lord intimately. The head of the father was the one most happy in calling upon the Lord’s name. He called the Lord’s name over and over again even when we met new people together during the two days of ministry.

Above all, we also met with a brother, known as Panditji, from Bhillai, Chattisgarh, who has been testifying again and again of his testimony of salvation in Christ Jesus. He served as a Hindu priest for over 25 years until he experienced the true and living God, the Lord Jesus Christ, just five years ago when in the midst of depression and at the brink of committing suicide. In his preaching, he explained the vanity of many rituals he had done in a religion filled with darkness and superstition and joyfully testified of how Jesus is the fulfillment and reality of all types, forms, figures, and prophecies in the Old Testament, and that in today's New Testament age, Christ is all and Christ is in all. He has the answer for every religious deed he had done in blindness and darkness in the past. Now, the great Light, Jesus Christ, has shown on Him and he is a changed man altogether. It was a new experience to learn and serve with such a brother. 

I have also gifted the key brothers, a few selected ministry books in Hindi and English. Though I did not minister on the truth concerning the church this time, the truths in the form of books were gifted to them as the ministry seeds. I believe, one day, it will bear forth fruit, and the Lord's testimony will be raised up all over Bihar.

Praise the Lord for the ministry of word journey to Bihar!

Gospel Trip to Bihar

A brother who was known to me through two sisters in the church in Gurugram was introduced to me a few months ago. This time in our trip to Bihar, I checked with him if we could pay a visit to him. It so turned out to be the Lord’s arrangement that as I contacted him he immediately invited us. So we visited him though we need to travel over five hours from Patna.

It was a beautiful bus ride from Patna to Chakia, and then to Chorma, and then to a remote village in Itwa. The moment we arrived, after all the formal greetings, we went to a village for the gospel ministry. I was surprised to behold a crowd of about 100 people gathering, most of whom were not even baptized yet, and mostly, village women of low stature. Yet, they loved the Lord and were simply following the leading of the brothers in singing, testifying, ministering of the word, and prayer. Later, I came to know that the gathering commenced with a sister whose son had once been possessed with demons to the extent that he was bound with a chain. This one was miraculously delivered by the prayer of two brothers over the phone and one brother who visited him. This marvelous deliverance initiated the meeting in that sister's compound. This was a weekly meeting and the Lord has been preparing the people there for Him; a good number of them have received the Lord, among whom the solid ones have decided to take water baptism.

The next day we were supposed to leave for Patna. But in the morning I received an SMS from my flight company that it would be delayed by 12 hours. Similarly, my brother's flight was also canceled and he booked for the following day. We didn't know why our flight timings had to be postponed. But the brother invited us to stay for another night and visit another village. I believe that was the Lord’s sovereignty. 

The village we visited welcomed us with about 500 seeking gospel friends waiting for us. They were fully packed in a makeshift tin-roofed with bamboo pillars, which we learned later that was built by a father and daughter who were instrumental in gathering the people together. This father-daughter duo was saved through the elder daughter who was delivered from demon possession. That led them to believe into the Lord Jesus Christ and later many villagers followed suit. Now the number had grown up to 500+ and increasing!

In the spur of the moment, I was asked to share my testimony of salvation, which I did impromptu, trusting in the Lord’s testifying through me. Then, there was singspiration in local Bhojpuri dialect, the Word of God ministered by two brothers, and ended with prayer. The move of the Spirit was so strong that many of them were being delivered from their bondage of religion as evidently seen in their obedience to the word of God, in doing away with the superstitious red thread tight around their hands. We also led them to call upon the name of the Lord besides sharing the gospel. A man, in particular, who was chained with an iron rod by his family due to his mental condition, somehow escaped and participated in the meeting. On hearing the gospel of Jesus who delivers people from the bondage of Satan, he received, believed, and called upon the Lord’s name and was saved. Following which his chains were removed as well. To this, he was in tears of the joy of being freed!

The Lord intended that we eye-witnessed what He has been doing in the villages of Chakia, Bihar, of His great deliverance from darkness to light, from Satan to Christ, and from superstition to the Holy Scriptures. There, the Spirit moves and people came in hundreds to hear the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ!

I could hardly believe my eyes as I witnessed the Lord’s move in North India among the Hindi-speaking people.

Praise the Lord for this miraculous gospel trip to Bihar!

GEMS Visit

Gospel Echoing Missionary Society(GEMS) has been pioneering the gospel move in Bihar and other parts of North India and has been actively involved in uplifting the local people in the field of education, medicine, and many other social and rehabilitation work in addition to evangelism. I have heard about them and the founder Bro. Augustine Jebakumar for many years now. It was only in the past two weeks that we decided to come and pay a visit to him and the organization. 

Then, I started collecting information about GEMS through some known contacts, did some research online, and in fellowship with my fellow brothers, wrote an email to the brother and to their office for an appointment. To my surprise,  I got back an immediate reply from Bro. Jebakumar himself. Then, as he instructed I wrote to the concerned person for visit related to ministry literature, and finally decided to come to visit.

A few days later, I received a call from their office confirming our visit and was surprisingly asked to share a message on the Lord’s day. It was a little surprising as we never met yet, but assigned to minister in a congregation of his stature. The first time in my life, we were being assigned to speak not knowing each other. Then, I fellowshipped with the brothers coordinating with me, and we prayed together for the Lord's definite leading in this matter. Meanwhile, all other practical things of travel itinerary and books sending were done, and prayer burden released for the saints to pray.

The day before yesterday, we were picked up from Patna and arrived at GEMS Campus, Dehri On Sone. Yesterday, we had a series of meetings and fellowship with different brothers. In all the meetings, we experienced the Lord’s presence and enjoyed the fellowship.

Our first meeting was an orientation by a brother concerning the founder's life story and how the Lord led him and the society he started, decade by decade from 1972 till date. Then, we had a campus tour with a brother briefing us on the activities of the various departments. 

In the afternoon, we had an important meeting with the key leaders of the organization. We introduced the ministry books in Hindi and in English as well. They also clarified the soundness of the teaching the ministry books uphold and its acceptance among various Christian groups. On being asked about our basic "doctrinal" belief, I explained that we hold onto the sixty-six books of the Bible as God’s word without overstretching any point of truth nor undermining others. And explained further, the ministry books we introduced were all for the supply of life to all the children of God. Besides, I also clarified a few other questions related to the ministry of brothers Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. Then, the key brothers have peacefully agreed to accept the ministry books, and after further studies, they would place orders for their libraries, missionaries, and different local churches. Out of the deep burden that the ministry of the word must be tasted by as many children of God as possible, I have presented a set of Hindi and English books for their campus library. It indeed was a wonderful and important meeting the Lord led us through with key directors.

Then, we met with Bro. Augustine Jebakumar and presented him the Holy Bible, Recovery Version, along with some selected books by Bro. Watchman Nee and Witness Lee with a brief introduction of each. As brother enquired to know more about the impact of the ministry books in our lives, the lives of the saints, and how we serve the Lord in cities like Delhi and Gurugram, we gave testimonies as answers to all his queries. He also shared his precious experiences and burdens he has concerning the Lord’s move in North India. We all enjoyed the wonderful fellowship for about two hours. We then requested our brother for prayer and took a photo for remembrance together.

Today, on the Lord’s day, our brother introduced us to the church gathering of about a thousand believers present at the auditorium and it was also streamed live, perhaps, or recorded for other "satellite churches." The word we ministered was on the service of the Lord’s called ones, from the life of Moses, the three subjective signs of the Lord’s called ones with the cutting and matching in Exodus 4. To complete the sharing of the truth with subjective experience, I also shared my testimony of the Lord’s calling, by throwing my "staff" and picking it up by the tail, and using it for the Lord’s service. 

We then had another round of campus tours, enjoyed lunch together with two young brothers, and then left for Patna. It was like a fairy tour. The Lord had marvelously worked out everything in His own time and in His best way. All glory to Him! Amen!

The visit to GEMS was indeed a gem. May the Lord bless all the saints with the ministry of the word for the growth unto the building up of the Body of Christ.
