children




         It is His mere grace that He gives His signs of His presence to me all in a sudden ,unexpected given moment.  These moments are specially chosen moments,  mostly when He has given me to give a message of His Gospel in in an unknown place. Even these moment are carefully taken into consideration by Him, like when I deeply forgotten the surroundings and when I only concentrate my prayer at His feet, and with closed eyes,opened after I poured out my heart, there in front of me I usually get a little girl or  boy from the audience come and stand before me and intently looking unto me.  My heart touches that beautiful serene holy moment and it gives me such freedom in my spirit and I enjoy the His presence abundantly at once.

       This happened last Sunday,25-6-2017 in Hanuman Junction prayer hall. There were hardly 20 people , poor but happy faces. ll of them were from such poor background like venders of plastic things on roads, or selling vegetables, or beads in hot summer or in drenching rains, or chilly winter season.  But my heart was rejoicing seeing such sincere faces who longs to listen to the Word of God, This group is formed by the efforts of Br. Ebenezer. well educated man striving among illiterates to give gospel to them. My visit to that place was sudden, unplanned, and abrupt. He was not sure of my visit to this place till the last moment, as I could not find proper driver to my care to take me there.
out of those 20 people at least 5 of them could read Bible very clearly. There was a sweet looking serene lady with white saree came along with her husband Who came first time to the church.
These people were so simple, no pomp and show, just they are there from very distant places just to listen to the word of God. I was asked to give the word of God, and I was praying and opened my eyes, and right in front of me was a little girl of 3 years, with white spotted gown, standing right before me while all others were praying, ---I know this is not the first incident in my life, previously I gave a number of incidents of this sort. Therefore I knew at once that I was touched by His spirit to be strengthened by His Holiness.

   After the church we had very simple tasty meal. One family brought Beera chutney, and one family brought curds, and the rice was cooked by one family in the church premises before the commencement of worship.  The expenses were met by the pastor every week.  The rent for such beautiful little house plus compound was 2500/-

    No hangama , no fauna fera, no competition of any sort. It was simple worship with simple people who sang the songs heartily and listened to the word of God intently. for the next coming week they live faithfully to the Lord in thier course of life. Nobody is forcing them to come, and there was nothing to attract them in this place. One family adopted a sweet little boy aged 6 months, to rear him the mother sacrificed her selling business to earn a few coins. Only husband is working and lovely taking care of the little one. What beautiful sight, no questions, no doubts, no high ambitions, just little to live , may be a small tin sheltered one room with a public toilet,  comes to the church from 10 or 15 kms by sharing auto riksha, What makes them to come here? Faith and word of God and fellowship.  Praise God and lift up this brother's efforts to to His service faithfully in His will.
