Week 4 In India!

Super clear close up of a cool looking beetle! Picture came out great!

We finished our first week of ministry. Many, many souls are being added to the kingdom of God! God has been Using me to heal many sicknesses and body pains.......I love it!!  I prayed for a lady in a village, as is our custom after preaching, and she had a lot of body pains. I asked God to heal her as I prayed for her in faith, then after praying she walked away. I then prayed for someone else. After that prayer the lady came back waving her hands over her arms and sides and looking verey excited saying, "I have no more body pains and I want to come to church." We are currently staying with a family: Pastor Aaron, his wife Veronica, his sons Solomon and Benny. This family, especially the adults, are the greatest example of servanthood and carring hearts I have ever seen. They are constantly making sure we are happy and comfortable: icecreams, the mother washes our clothes, they feed us like kings( we almost never feel hungry), sodas, tea all the time, and many other ways as well. Please pray for them and their ministry. The survive strictly on the tihes that come in and do not recieve overseas support as many of the other pastors do. Weston and I get along great.
We are spending much time in prayer and the word. Please pray that our ministry continues to be fruitfull as we do different dramas (skits), gospel preaching, teaching in churches, pray for many people daily laying our hands on their heads, visiting houses for lunch or dinner, encouraging new believers with prochecies and scriptures, sharring Jesus with hindus....and whatever else we do at random.
Thanks to all in the name of Jesus Christ!

Our Ministry Begins!

Cheyyar Church

We have been in India now for 2 weeks and 1 day. We are staying at a friends house named Solomon in the town of Cheyyar for one month. This town is not as hot and there are a lot less mosquitos than in Thiruvanammalai where we were staying before.Praise God!!  Last night, sunday night October 17, we went to our first village for ministry. We have been praying a lot for God to move...and of course, He did! The gospel was preached and 8 PEAPLE RESPONDED!! Praise the LORD. That is 8 souls released from the bondage of satan's grasp. We also did 2 childrens type ministry in the 2 villages we visited. God gave us some quik improv and we were able to do a skit about David and Goliath. The children were excited and Jesus was Glorified even in them. That morning prior to the village ministry, we had a church service, Weston brought the word for his second time....the guy has the gift of teaching and he is growing in his gift at a rapid rate. The day before that, we had a time of prayer and fasting with the chucrh. It was amazing to pray and fast and worship with over 20 Indian believers. We will be doing village ministry this whole week and every day except mondays, our sabbath day. Keep us in prayer as we switch off on preacing the gospel in the villages and teaching the word of God in the Church. Below is a link to a new video and to an old video. Thank you!

Another weekly blog......We are having stomach issues so please pray for us. Weston and I both shared a message on Sunday at a local church. Weston did an amazing job preaching on the subject of the Gospel. Bishop Atma Ram, our ministry leader is still not doing well physically so please pray for him. We will begin our village ministry on Wednesday. I uploaded a video on you tube, but the site is under maintenance, so I don't have the link up yet. Hopefully someday soon! Thanks for your prayers....Amen

We made it!

After a long journey, we touched ground in India. The flights were long and exhausting, but we are well rested now. The 15 hour layover was really exciting. We probably walked 6 or 7 miles in Hong Kong. We got to see a lot of the city, take some train rides, and even rode a ferry across a bay. The best part was trying the food. We had all kinds of interesting meals. The most unique was either "coconut crocodile soup" or "herbal turtle jelly". I got to preach a message the very first day that we arrived in India. You know I loved that. We are going to be starting our ministry on Monday. Pray that hearts and eyes will be open to the gospel. Also please pray for our ministry leader, Bishop Atma Ram, he has to do dialysis 4 times a day and he has not been doing well physically. He really needs God's healing touch or he cannot partake in the ministry as he would so desire. Thank you all for every or any prayer you lift up on our behalf.
I will tey an post images next time!

In Christ,
