PLANT
A CHURCH A DAY PROJECT
Name
of the village: Nandahandi Myself
and the Mobile Evangelical Team moved from the head office in Jagdalpur toward
the village where the love of Christ has not reached so far on 3rd
March, 2003. We arrived at 2:30 pm with a prayerful heart to share the love of
Christ as the Spirit led us. This village is of dense forest and narrow way to
reach the homes of the village. The village people are dominated by the head of
the village (village president). I approached him with a prayerful heart. He
enquired about me and my workers well. He questioned “Why
did you come here?” Politely, I replied to him, “To share the love of
God.” These villagers are uncivilized and illiterate. The head of the village
allowed us to go door to door and invite the people to come to the evening
open-air meeting. We did personal evangelism to the village people and invited
the head of the village as a guest of the meeting also. The spiritual and
revival songs were led by pastor Bijay Kumar Sundarmani. When the village people
saw the head of the village going towards the evening open-air meeting, they
came one by one behind him to enjoy the songs. But the cruel village people came
to attack us forcefully. Those who appointed the head of the village shouted
against him to go out from the meeting. But humbly he said, “Please let them
testify about their God before us then they will go back to their home lands.”
With courage the Pastor led the meeting and the time of worshipping many young
men and women were filled with Holy Spirit. This day 215 people were gathered.
Pastor Nayak was invited to preach the gospel with his salvation experience
through reading the scripture on John 3:16. The anointed and heart-changing
message transformed the hearts of the people from bitter to sweet and cursing to
blessing. After the message Pastor Nayak asked the people to come to the front
for prayers to deliver from their sickness and infirmities. About 28 people came
for prayer for their healings. Our anointed pastors laid their hands on them.
After prayer we gave the people a chance to testify of Jesus' work. One lady testified, “For the last 8 years I have
suffered severely from kidney stones, but while Pastor Nayak laid his hand on
me, I felt an electric shock in my body and I am cured from the kidney
stones.” Praise the Lord! The
head of the village could see the angels of the Lord standing around the
compound. This manifestation drew some of the people to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Next
day we started the evening open-air meeting at 6:30 pm with Pastor Nimbrod Nag
singing anointed songs to draw the people. Many old and young men and women were
filled with the Holy Spirit. Pastor Dayalu Kadiary delivered the heart-changing
sermon. After the message, the
pastor invited the people to come for prayer for their healings.
This day 250 people gathered to hear the message. Thirty-five of them
stood up and came for prayer for their sickness like T.B., moon blindness,
Jaundice and dumb. The spirit of God moved on them mightily and healed them from
their sickness. About 15 people testified to glorify Jesus name. This day we
gave water baptism (as the word of God says) to 31 newly converted peoples and a
church was planted in this village. Pastor
Hemanta Nag is ministering with a spiritual burden to bring the people who are
in the darkness to the light of Jesus Christ. Pastor Hemanta Nag is not yet
receiving financial support from Brother Ron Bryson (PACAD ministry). We are
praying sincerely for the pastor, family, ministry and its need. About 39
believers are attending the services and 18 believers are filled with the Holy
Spirit. Pastor is also penetrating unreached neighbouring villages with Gospel.
We are praying for a prayer cell for the worship services. Please pray for these
essential needs. Submitted
