Students' Evangelistic Zeal
It is with joy that we write this report of our two students who have been to many hidden and isolated villages to reach and preach to the nation with the Word of God.
Our two students, Mr Th Minthang and Mr Lempu Vaiphei, were able to cover 13 villages in 11 days because of the sound health and strength that our loving God has given to them. They were able to cover two villages sometimes in one day.
Being the rainy season it is understood that much of the time that they walked through the jungle on a small jungle track to reach a particular village they were under a heavy rain. Leeches, worms and many biting insects were spread all over their bodies and were hanging around on their clothes, shirt and pants and also inside their bags. Having nothing to protect themselves from all these biting insects they had problems and got sick from the insects' bites. However they praise God for every situation, having a great burden to reach the nation with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Mr Lempu Vaiphei said with joy that the problems they faced can not be compared with the abundant grace of our Lord upon us.
They were able to reach about 2000 people and about 102 people got saved and 87 people that had had different sicknesses were confirmed healed from their prayers.
In some villages they did not get food so they just spent the night in the cold and rain without food but they had a great time with the Lord in prayer. They were physically hungry with their stomachs being empty but their spirits were filled with Joy, said the wonderful and faithful duo. Since many villages they covered were not Christian they were not warmly welcomed in many places, but they started sharing the love of God to the people and the need of salvation for mankind. Mr. Lempu said when they fasted consecutively for three meals, only with water in their stomach, it was very hard to keep sharing as they were fainting and nearly collapsed but God in His great mercy had provided them with some small jungle fruit which Lempu found when he went out to the nearby jungle. With the jungle fruit on the tree they ate and that gave them strength to preach before they were given more food.
In one particular very remote village a man in his sixties, who was sick for nearly seven months on his sick bed with no proper food and absolutely no medicine, shared about his utmost hardship and the untold pain and problems he had gone through because of his sickness and the poverty stricken condition in which he lived. The man in his severely bad condition had said that he preferred to die than to live because if he died he would never have this trouble again, but our student told him that if you die now in your condition you will be proceeding towards the worst in hell, therefore you need to receive Jesus Christ who will lead you to a perfect life. Your physical body and spiritual life will always have peace if you believe in Christ. The man accepted Jesus Christ and he requested them to pray for his sickness and after they prayed for him he was absolutely healed. Praise God, now the man is full of joy and peace.
Let us keep remembering those people who have heard and received Jesus Christ through the faithful witness of our two students in these most isolated villages so that one day, they (the jungle people) may come up to share their living testimonies to other hidden people.
