When God is at work, His Light shines in the darkness. When that happens, people respond in different ways. Some respond in a positive way, others respond negatively. As the Bible says “And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light; for their deeds were evil.For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds will not be exposed. But the one who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds will be revealed as having been performed in God.” (John 3:19-21, NASB)
Recently our ministry teams shared the Gospel in a Muslim village, with amazing results. The people had never heard the message, and they responded with great joy and excitement. We rejoice that these people who lived in darkness for many years have now entered a life filled with light. They were saved, healed, and delivered because you, our partners, helped to spread the message of the Gospel.
This village was touched by the power of the Gospel, but other villages remain in darkness. Pray with us that the light will shine in those places, too. We know that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. But how will they call on Him if they don’t hear? And how will they hear if no one tells them? And finally, how will someone tell them if they aren’t sent? (see Romans 10:13-15)
That’s where you and I come in. We might not be able to go to the villages and share the Gospel, but we can send someone who is trained, ready, and willing to go. We can empower and enable them to travel to remote places and bring the light into the darkness. And when they do, we will share in the reward of seeing people’s lives transformed. Thank you for standing with us in prayer and financial gifts. Together we will see the testimony of Jesus grow in India! “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.” (Habakkuk 2:14 NASB)
Blessings in the Wonderful Name of Jesus,
