Because of lockdown, we have not been able to do any ministry that we planned from the month of April. Even though I couldn't physically do any ministry, I did some ministry online. Two families (six people) came to the Lord and accepted Jesus as their personal Saviour and three of them were baptised. Oken
Testimony from D. Singh from PIW*, Ma*. I am 15 years old. I was born and brought up in a non-Christian family. I am my parents' first child and I have one sister. My family is a broken family and my father uses drugs. Because of this there is no peace and fighting almost every day in my family. I had no hope in my life and I did not want to live anymore. An aunty of mine, named Bha*, used to come to my house and share the story about Jesus. She encouraged me and advised me a lot from the word of God and she also prayed for me almost every day. At first, I did not believe, but later on, I was able to understand Jesus, who is Christ. After that, I confessed my sins and accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour on 4th June 2021. Since I accepted Jesus Christ, there has been peace in my life and there is hope for my life. I am so hungry for the Lord Jesus Christ. Now I read the bible every day and watch every service that we have through Zoom. Now I am ready to get involved with any kind of ministry activity, along with others in our church.
In India, Sowers always try to find out ways and means to preach the gospel to the people of different churches. We encourage the church and help with their ministry activities. Here is one story: One of our Sowers met a girl called Soniya. She is 18 years old, and she had an accident in February 2021. He met that girl after her accident. This girl hurt her head and fractured the bone of the head in that accident and due to that she used to have problems of headaches, vomiting, dizziness and sometimes unconsciousness. According to the doctors her condition was quite serious. After counselling her and sharing about God’s might from the bible and reading the bible to her so that she was able to hear it, the girl slowly improved day by day. After a few days she was able to believe that Jesus is her saviour. After that, by the grace of God, there was no sickness that she used to have before. Really, God removed all her problems and freed her from that kind of sickness. Now she has started to attend the church. So, really, I thank God for his mercy upon our lives, especially on the life of the girl. I would also like to thank you all for your help and for providing the bible which we really need. This is our prayer that our God will bless you all. Oken
In this very (Covid-19 pandemic) situation, God is doing wonderful/amazing works among us. I have some stories regarding my ministry. This time one whole family came to the Lord after we had preached the good news to around 30 people personally. One young man from a non-Christian background came to the Lord recently. Actually, this young man is demon possessed and witchcrafted by someone. Now he is free from demon possession and according to his request and having faith in Jesus now, he got water baptism. Along with this young man two others got water baptism within three months. Oken
In the village called Sam* we started a children club through an open-air. I have already mentioned in my last report about this, so what I am saying is that this children's club is growing and every Sunday they have the regular worship service. One of SOWRS' team members is looking after this children club. Please remember in your prayer. Thanks. Oken
Open air preaching and introduction of the Program to new groups is going on. One team is conducting an open air program each week. Another church group is starting to preach twice a month. A worker and his family have moved to a new area, providing new places and opportunities for preaching and introducing the SOWERS program to the surrounding churches. Some Level 1 and Level 2 training is being planned. A worker in another State is faithfully conducting open air programs and making follow up visits.
