A recent evangelistic crusade in North India touched stony hearts and
brought 103 souls to the feet of the Savior.
"The Lord visited his people with healings and miracles as proof of the truth of the
gospel," the mission leader told Christian Aid in late November.
"Sinners, praying with tears, were forgiven. The lost were found and the sick healed.
Mockers and those once bitterly opposed to the gospel now give testimonies to Christ's
saving grace. Young and old were jumping in the joy of the Holy Spirit, clapping their
hands and rejoicing, praying without ceasing. Many backsliders returned to the Lord.
"The gospel crusade broke down the stony hearts of the people bringing them to the
Savior," the leader continued. "Christians made deeper commitment to the Lord
Jesus Christ. Those who only knew a form of churchianity found hope, and non-Christians
found life in Christ."
The group has now planted congregations in six villages, though at least three of them
lack meeting halls. In the ministry's first outreach to a certain village, three families
of non-Christian background came forward to commit their lives to Christ and were
baptized. The new believers gather regularly for worship, and some of their unbelieving
neighbors even meet with them.
The ministry works in remote areas unreachable by public transit. Often they have to catch
rides on trucks or go by bullock cart. Getting there takes a lot of time that could
otherwise be spent in actual ministry. The leader said that bicycles would help 20
missionaries, whereas six missionaries actually need motorcycles.
The leader said that beyond those making decisions for Christ, a number of young people
came forward and offered their lives for Christian service.
