Pray for Unreached « Result #1 on Oct 24, 2005, 9:56pm »
Greetings to you all in the Holy name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Thank you to each and everybody who stand behind us in prayer and financial support for the ministry among unreached people and among non-christians and muslims who lost their salvation. During the last three months we as a team of 8 pastors and evangelists were went into a remote corner villages to plough their hearts with gospel tracts, booklets and music cassettes. Really we visited 37 villages and distributed nearly 15000 tracts and 4500 booklets and a few cassettes. In every village , we conducted two days evangelistic meetings, among these meetings, those who have taken these tracts, they have read it and appreciated the stuff in it, many came to know the truth and attended these meetings and accepted JESUS as their personal saviour. By the grace of God, after these evangelistic meetings, nearly 600 people got the salvation and I baptised 82 people. Please pray for their spiritual growth. and protection from satanic works.
During the last 15 days my city VIJAYAWADA was sinked due to the heavy rain fall, nearly more than 60,000 families were on the road and their houses were washedout, all their belongings are washedout. Really, it never happened since 50 years. This is the first time , the water was inside the city. Since 7 days, the water remained in the houses. No food , no shelter to the cyclone victims.Really we suffered a lot. No cooking gas and no electricity, and no transportation. During this cyclone, four of our co-workers lost their houses and so many of our church members were become sick and they faced so much difficulties. Please pray for their comfort.
In a village , we played JESUS and TEN COMMANDAMENTS movies with the help of LCD PROJECTOR. During these two nights, 5000 people attended, In this village we distributed more than 10000 tracts. Really after viewing these films, we received a very good response from the mob.They said to me that who is that, HE sacrificed HIS life to us.I want to become HIS disciple. Praise God.So many people said to me like that. And the next morning we had a blessed time.

The Spirit told us what to do « Result #9 on Mar 18, 2005, 12:16pm »
The Spirit told us what to do
Cari Lawrence
Two young women set off to plant churches without plans or training because "Jesus said to 'go.'"
After we prayed, the Holy Spirit would tell us exactly what to do.
We would keep praying and he would tell us what to do,
and we would do it.
Then we prayed and then he would tell us what to do.
We would do it and keep praying.
Several high-ranking church leaders from Europe visited a pastor in Hong Kong. The pastor took them to visit some of the Three-Self churches. They found them inspiring, and uniquely Chinese, but they wondered aloud if perhaps they weren't seeing the real church.
On the final day of their visit, the pastor hoped to show them what they wanted to see. He knew they would not really be satisfied unless they met a real church planter. As it turned out, they saw something incredibly beyond what they ever expected to find in China.
At their last stop, the pastor discovered that two young women had just returned from their mission station for a short visit, so he asked them to come to the hotel late, to meet the visiting church leaders.
These young ladies had both become Christians as teenagers while listening to radio broadcasts, and they each had immediately felt the call to be a missionary. The pastor had met with them and attempted to teach them how to witness right where they were.
"No," they insisted, "the Bible you gave us says Jesus said to go to
all the world. We want to 'go.'"
"But," the pastor argued, "you have only been Christians for six months, and you are so young."
They replied, "Pastor, we have read everything Jesus said and nowhere does he ask people how old they are. We want to go."
Smiling, the pastor asked them, "But can you give me an exegesis of the five classical appearances of the Great Commission in the New Testament?" Their disappointed faces made him feel ashamed. "Very well. We need some workers on Hainan Island."
"Hainan Island, we have never heard of it."
The pastor said, "It is an island off the mainland. The people there are fishermen. It is very rough. There are no Christians there. For young ladies it might be very dangerous."
Excitedly they responded, "How soon can we go?"
"Well, I have to go back to Hong Kong and make arrangements. There will be . . . "
They interrupted him, "Oh no, no, we must not wait. Our Lord said 'go,' not sit around and plan. We will go to this place - what did you call it?"
"Hainan. Hainan Island."
They looked at each other, "Hainan, yes Hainan. That is where the Lord wants us to go."
They had been there for two years and were now back for a short period of time to try to get Bibles and other literature for their new churches. The pastor had not seen them since the day they insisted that they 'go now'!
After the arrangements were made, he went to the lobby at the appointed time and waited for the ladies to arrive. He watched the bellboys in their crisp, tailored uniforms, and the tourists who attempted to be casual in their designer clothes. Then he spotted the two young women. Oh no, he thought as they walked in.
Their black pyjamas and broad-brimmed fishermen hats stood in stark contrast to the appearance of the sophisticated hotel receptionist making her way towards them.
The pastor moved quickly to intercede. "It's all right, they are here to see me." Several people stood staring as he greeted them as politely as possible without drawing too much attention. "Come, we will go to my room to meet some people from Europe."
Once in the room, the two European church officials graciously greeted them. He proceeded to ask the young ladies questions, interpreting for his guests as he went along.
"Pastor, ask them how many churches they have established on Hainan."
The women put their heads down and answered, "Oh Pastor, we have only been there two years . . . yes, two years. Not many. Not very many." Their voices were apologetic.
"How many?"
"Oh, not many, not many. We have only been there a short time. The people were not very friendly. . . Sometimes they became very vicious. Yes, sometimes they told us they were going to drown us in the ocean . . . several men threatened us . . . . Oh my, and because we were so young, even some of the other ladies did not like us. Yes some even called us terrible names . . . so not many churches . . . no, not many. . . ."
The pastor interrupted and slowly repeated the words, "How many? How many?"
There was a moment of silence, then one of the women looked up with embarrassment and anguish, as though confessing to a crime,
"Only . . . thirteen. "
The pastor looked astonished and interpreted for the guests, "Thirteen."
One of the guests repeated the number, "Only thirteen, only - my goodness. I haven't planted that many churches in my lifetime."
One of the pastor's assistants interrupted, "No, Pastor, she did not say thirteen. She said thirty."
The pastor looked at the two young women and asked, "Thirty?"
"Oh, yes, not many, we have done very poorly. Only thirty . . . ."
The two guests could only mutter, "Thirty churches in two years . . . my
word. . . ."
Again the women began to apologize when the pastor interrupted to ask another question, "How many people are in the churches?"
"How many? . . . Oh, not many. . . . " Again both heads went down, apologizing for their failure. "Not many. "
The process repeated itself until, again, the pastor looked like he was ready to shake them and practically yelled, "How many?"
"Only two hundred and twenty people. Not many, no . . . not many. "
Quickly multiplying in his head, the pastor said, "Two hundred and twenty in thirty churches?"
"Oh, no, in only one, but that one is a very small church, very small. There are bigger ones. . . ."
As the pastor interrupted he heard the numbers repeated by his guests:
"Two hundred and twenty is small? Dear Lord, I wish I had some that large."
"Ask them how many are in the big churches."
The process began, but with a more reverent inquiry: "And how many in the big churches? You know, the biggest one?"
"Oh, not many . . . ."
"I know, 'not many.' But, please, ladies, how many?"
"Oh, less than five thousand. Only four thousand nine hundred . . . . Yes, less than five thousand. We have just started."
From behind the pastor came the sound of weeping: "Dear Lord, forgive us."
"What did they do? How did they do it? Ask them what they did?"
When asked, they looked astonished. "What did we do? Why nothing. Yes, we did nothing, nothing."
"You did nothing? You have thirty churches - the smallest with two hundred and twenty people, the largest with almost five thousand new Christians! And you did nothing?"
"No, nothing. We just prayed."
"I know you prayed, but what else did you do?"
"After we prayed, the Holy Spirit would tell us exactly what to do. We would keep praying and he would tell us what to do, and we would do it. Then we prayed and then he would tell us what to do. We would do it and keep praying."
"Dear Lord, they just prayed . . . and the Holy Spirit told them exactly what to do and they prayed. . . . "
The pastor laid his hands on the shoulders of the two sisters. Behind him his two guests, on their knees weeping, joined as they 'just prayed'.
