Dear Partners and Friends,
We stand at the beginning of a new decade, with great anticipation of what God is going to do, both in us and through us. We believe, according to Jeremiah 29:11 that the Lord has “plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.” (NASB). His plans are wonderful, and He can handle every possibility and every circumstance we may encounter. If we continue to commit our ways to Him, he will direct our steps.
This Christmas our teams experienced great revival and blessing. You and I can experience the same blessing in our lives. Revival can come to America, just as it is coming to India. How can this happen? How can we see revival in our land? Our brothers and sisters in India pray every day for revival but spending hours in the prayer closet did not bring revival. They fast regularly but fasting did not bring revival. What does the Word say? “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” But someone must announce the good news of the Gospel.
So, our teams share the Gospel every day, and God confirms the message with signs and wonders. Sowing the seeds of the Gospel every day, week after week, produces results. It’s not glamorous. It’s hard work to keep going. They face possible rejection from the villagers. They walk for miles and give up some physical comfort. But when they see one changed life, one healed body, one person lifted from despair, they realize it’s worth it.
If you are a Christ-follower, you have His Spirit living within you. Everyone you meet has a potential divine encounter. If you want to see revival in your community, look for ways to serve and reach out to the downtrodden, the despairing, the sick, the forgotten. You will be amazed at what God will do through you as you share His love with the unloved in your community. Send us your testimonies of what God does when you take that step of faith. We can’t wait to hear!
