From before the beginning of this outreach, God was putting His lost children on my heart. I felt He would be leading our team to call people to His loving arms. In the past two weeks, I have been blown away by the love God has for the people of India. But before I share some stories, let me tell you about Dinbandhu ministries, the friend of the poor.
Dinbandhu was started about 15 years ago to reach the unreached villages and slums in Central India. Now having 3 training centers, I am convinced the Lord will continue to bless this ministry. A basic outline of ministry starts with building friendship with unreached villages. A team then comes in and preaches the gospel of Jesus as well as pray for the sick. With those interested, a house church is started in one night! Dinbandhu then sends their team back to each village once a week for discipleship as well as to select leaders to attend their training center for one year. These centers focus on making disciple of Jesus, but they also teach each person a trade for work when they return to their village. I have been personally blessed to see such dedicated servants serving to bring change to hearts first and communities too.
In almost every village we attend, there are some who are captured by the love of Jesus and all that He offers. For example, we visited an unreached slum tonight and saw 22 desire to follow Jesus. It makes me want to rejoice and dance every time God's grace and love brings His children home. I am trying to post a video with a short update too, but it is taking a while...
I will share more soon, but for now I must sleep.
Love you all and keep praying for open doors to share the gospel! ... God truly loves His children
