Talks Continue as Crusade Momentum Builds
We have had two funeral services last weekend, it was really hard as our church members grieved over their family. The first funeral was on the 4th July at Phowaibi village and the second on the following day on the 5th July, here at Imphal. We can only comfort the bereaved family with the word of God. As we keenly prayed for them, we trust they will find peace and solace in the word of God.
On the 2nd July, we went to S.Kawtlian for one day service. It was wonderful as I preached there. On the 7th, we went to Phoisanphai area about 19 kilometers from Churachandpur town in a remote village. The villages are being dominated by muslims and several hindus so it was really hard to present the gospel for the first time. The whole morning session on the 7th July was meant only for counseling the hindus and, of course, some muslims too. By God’s grace in the afternoon many were so touched that about 29 people received Jesus Christ as their Lord during our afternoon preaching program. We praise God for these new believers.
On the 8th July, we went to Churachandpur district with some of our bible college students as part of our outreach ministry. We met with many church leaders and also social and philanthropic leaders of Churachandpur district. Together we discussed our upcoming crusade in September.
We (VCC) arranged a small tea party for all the leaders in Churachandpur district on the 7th July where I talked about the upcoming crusade and asked them to give us maximum co-operation for the crusade.
In other news, we recently had a wonderful time with our students. After our morning worship service in the church we had a beautiful celebration for the new crops. Lolly and my children went to Churachandpur to buy some fruit including cucumbers, passion fruit, pineapple etc. In addition to that we also bought some fruit here in Imphal and ate it with our students in the college as we wanted to give good fruit to our bible college students as a new crops celebration. We had a wonderful time with our students, praising God for all His blessings.
Next Saturday we will be going again to Churachandpur for another round of talks for the Crusade. Please keep praying for us as we need lots of wisdom and understanding. Unfortunately this time in Churachandpur there are untold problems in the district with the sound of gun shots every night. The different groups of terrorists keep fighting each other. Let us pray that all this trouble will not disturb our crusade but instead will bring these crooked people to God. Let this crusade be a great instrument for God to bring thousands of lost souls into God’s kingdom.
