The following is part 2 of the combined March and April India report for 2009. I say part 2 because I am going to post the reports over several days (7) since it would be really long if I posted it all at the same time.
Remember, these men are from the 14 remaining unreached districts where the two unreached tr!bal groups we are working with live.
To see all of the India reports, go here. Thanks for your prayers and support of this great work that God is doing.
Thanks so much for your prayers and support.
Until ALL Have Heard,
Eric
District 11
167 people trained in 19 villages. A shoemaker was demonized during one of the local full moon festival nights; he was treated by several witchcraft doctors, but he could not recover. The community head contacted well-known witch doctors and sorcerers to have the demonized man delivered, but the man’s condition remained the same. During one training close to their village, the head man approached a trainer and asked if they could do something for the demonized man. The shoemaker was taken to the training where he was prayed over. From this, the small community was transformed, and 211 people were baptized in the first week as a result of the shoemaker’s deliverance. A Hindu saint came to one of our trainings to listen and to observe what was being taught. He listened for 2 days and started to ask questions. It was evident that he was interested to know the truth. By the end of the 5th day, he was convinced that Jesus is the only true way and that there is no other God besides Him. After being baptized, the saint left with a Bible to know and read more. Please pray and believe with us that this little man will be a good solider and a devoted servant in the kingdom. Also please pray for a volunteer who fell from an open Jeep while returning from an outreach; she has a broken arm and some head injury; please pray for her recovery and her family. 34 house groups formed, and 23 Churches started in March and April.
District 12
164 people trained in 18 villages. In one village, a woman was healed from a blood disease. Another woman was suffering from skin disease; she heard about some people who prayed, and she approached one of the trainings where she was prayed over by the trainers and was healed. She accepted the Lord with her family of 4 people. In another village, a woman who was blind in one eye for a few years was healed during one of our trainings and accepted the faith immediately. Also, the village head, after being healed of his deafness and stammering, not only accepted the faith with his family but also donated three hundred kilos of cornflower to be served during the trainings. And he gave a bicycle to the volunteer who had prayed for his healing. 26 new groups formed, and 16 Churches started in March and April.
