One Leader's Testimony of God's Great Promises
One leader in a city of 14 million can tell the story, a testimony, of God's great promise to do great things. He begins, "We will never forget how this whole journey began. In the year 2005 when we were unsure of what GOD was going to do in our lives, He gave both {my wife and I} the same promise on the same day from two separate scriptures:
For I AM going to do something in your days that you would not believe even if you were told (Habakkuk 1: 5 & Acts 13: 41).
As we look back over the years, we see that God has kept His promise. We began with just 5 people, but GOD has moved in special ways to make this movement a blessing to thousands in West Bengal & the regions beyond. This is His doing & it is marvelous in our eyes.
One of the biggest challenges that the Church in our part of the world faces is the need for discipleship training. The recent Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted this fact even more vividly. We will need to do all we can in war footing to Prepare Men, Women, Boys & Girls who will become Disciple-Makers all across North India. We are overwhelmed with gratitude to the LORD who has opened doors for us to train teams of Men & Women who represent over 2000 Churches & are ministering to over 200,000 people currently. We rejoice that we have been able to do all of this, even though we have not had a facility of our own."
Now, God is moving in the direction of great things. He has provided a property "in the place of His choice" to develop a center for training and worship. From here, the team will train many more to serve amongst yet unreached people. Pastor Anvit says, "We cannot even get our minds around what God can do in the years to come," as they look to the empty lot beside their existing building and envision a center there to reach the region with the Gospel. In challenging times in a challenging city, it seems like a giant thing to hope for. But this leader testifies, "We hold on to His promises knowing that He will do something in our days that we would not believe even if we were told."
