The following is the first report from the 42 men we trained in June of this year. Remember, these men are from the 14 remaining
unreached districts where the two unreached tr!bal groups we are
working with live. All of the reports you have seen so far are from 8
districts. We are now hoping to see what is happening in the 8
districts jump to the remaining 14 districts. When this happens, we
will be able to take the two people groups out of the unreached
category! Praise the Lord that this is happening.
To see all of the India reports, go here. Thanks for your prayers and support of this great work that God is doing.
Until ALL Have Heard,

District 9
88 people trained in 13 villages. There
have been many healings. One man, the only earning member of his
family and a father of four children, was healed of paralysis from which he was
suffering for 2 years. After his healing, his family and his friend’s family
believed, looking at the impossibility of the healing. 2 new house groups have been
started.
District 10
79 people trained in 10 villages. One man and his wife met with an accident and then the husband went in into
a coma for a few weeks. One of our trainers prayed and in 48 hours the man came
back to consciousness. Now this man is the first volunteer of this new
team of trainers to be born in the 14 districts. 3 new house groups have been started.
District 11
89 people trained in 6
villages. The first church out of the 14 districts was started in this
district. In one village a farmer heard the
gospel and accepted the Lord in the month of July. His family of 9
people also accepted the Lord. This man had been demonised for several
years and as per the trainer it took 6 hours of
spiritual wrestling for deliverance. Now in October the first church
has been started in his home.
District 12
64
people trained in 8 villages. A 59-year-old widow with no children was
healed of psoriasis of the skin. She and her best friend, who is
probably
the same age, accepted the Lord and set out to witness and testify. In
two months
both of them traveled to 19 villages, were instrumental in 91 baptisms
and
the formation of 16 churches.
District 13
83 people trained in 8 villages. In these
three months since the training in June this is the first district where someone offered to donate
something. A man who was
suffering from epilepsy was healed during the training last month. He
donated 200 kilograms of wheat to be used for feeding the delegates during the
training. 4 house groups already formed and 37 baptisms in 3 months.
District 14
61 people trained in 7
districts. In one village an unmarried woman who was sick with the
issue of blood and was also losing weight
drastically was healed. She started to put on weight within a
week of praying with one of our trainers. The father of the unmarried
women got
excited and believed in the Lord with his family and also fed the
villagers one
evening. He also openly declared before the guest villagers what the
Lord did for him and his
family by healing the daughter and that he believed in the Lord with
his
family. 5 House groups have been formed.
District 15
67 people trained in 9
villages. In one village a Blacksmith by profession was healed of
severe skin disease. He received the Lord and received his healing
after that. Now
this man is busy sharing his faith with all of his customers and
friends. He
has also opened up his home for a weekly church meeting. 6 house groups
have been formed.
District 16
78 people trained this month. In a
village of 1,200 people in the month of August it rained so hard that
the village was completely submerged
in the water. Our trainer went to the local authorities asking
for rescue and aid from the government. He also collected donations to
provide
clothing and medicine for the villagers. Our trainer became the village
hero.
In October 384 people took baptism as a response to this act of mercy.
More
people are waiting to be baptized who want to follow a God they can
trust in
times of need. 23 house groups formed out of which 13 are in
this one village.
District 17
74 people trained in 6
villages. A village leader was healed in September of a long-term brain
fever and constant body
ache. This man accepted the Lord, as did his family of 7. Following
this, 23 more fellow villagers accepted the Lord after hearing the
gospel. Three house
groups started in this one village. 11 house groups have been started
in this district.
District 18
50 people trained in 4 villages. Out
of all
the 14 districts this is considered to be the most anti-Christian
district. In one village, a grocery shop owner was healed of asthma. He
and his wife had no children, but after his healing his wife got
pregnant. Now
this man cannot stop talking about the miracle in the family that the
Lord did for
him. 2 house groups have been started in this district.
District 19
58 people trained in 4
villages. In one village a middle-aged women suffering from the last
stage of bone cancer died the day after our trainer went to pray for
her. The family members beat the trainer and
handed him over to the police. Please pray for him as he is still in
prison. In another village a man was healed of deafness in both ears. 6
house groups have been started in this district.
District 20
74 people trained in 9
villages. In all of the
14 districts this is the second most difficult place.
Prayer networks should have special prayer for districts 18 and 20. In
one village, a man had been demon possessed for several years. He
could not eat by himself or do any
activities. He was more like a baby though he is 27-years old, and it
seems he was
afflicted with the spirit of mind control. When the trainer visited his
home, the moment he entered the home the man became numb and closed his
eyes as if he was sleeping. He tried to present himself as if he was
in coma. The
trainer rebuked the demon and the man opened his eyes and started to
scream in
fear, foaming some from his mouth. He then fell on the floor rolling
and banging his
head. Then the demon left, quickly. The sick man was no longer sick but
instead a delivered,
bright young man. His entire family of 13 people accepted the Lord that
night
and got baptized the following morning. 5 house groups have been
started in this district.
District 21
69 people trained in 6 villages. In one village, a farmer was
healed of a stammering tongue. When the trainer prayed for him the healing power
of God came on the farmer and he was healed instantly. This produced a lot of curiosity
among the villagers since most of them knew this man and had called him by the name
“Hakla” meaning stammer. Many believed the gospel and kingdom was expanded. 8
house groups have been started in this district.
District 22
59 people trained in 7
villages. In one village, a young farmer was working in his fields when
he was attacked by wild
boar. Since it was the time of twilight he could not get to the town
to
get medication and had to wait for morning. The man developed gangrene
and
the doctors suggested that his left leg be amputated from below the
knee. At
this point of time when the family was considering and deciding what to
do they came in
contact with our trainer. The trainer encouraged the family and shared
the
gospel with them and prayed for the man and in three days the wound
seemed to
dry up. Now the man is still in bed but recovering fast and did not
have to have the amputation. This man and his family of 8, plus 5 other
families
believed in the Lord and altogether 53 people got baptized. 9 house
groups have been started in this district.
