 | The India Trip 19/10 | Thursday 29th October 2009 |
I have been looking forward to this trip for months – Bless the Lord for using Simon for introducing us to India! Pst Kevin, David and Bruce received us at the airport in Chennai few minutes to midnight. Checked in a nice hotel walking distance from the slum where Kevin and Debra are pastoring. Happy to catch up with Simon, Julie, Peter and the whole team for breakfast on a Saturday Morning.
Had a team of 13 Missionaries. Had a wonderful time of prayer at Pst Kevin’s Church then did house to house evangelism with the rest of the team in the slum under the leadership of Kevin. The level of poverty in the slum and the happy faces of the kids melted our hearts. The Lord healed and saved people as we prayed moving from house to house. We saw the hunger for God in the streets when a gentleman on a motorcycle stopped with his daughter asking to be laid hands on and prayed for a miracle. The climax of the day was a crusade at night. Debra’s anointed voice and the Indian beats pulled the presence of God in the meeting. Preached on “Lazarus come forth” and witnessed people giving their lives to the Lord and miracles signs and wonders following. Glory to Jesus!
Sunday was a big day. Had three Services and a time to walk in the slums again and pray for people in their houses. Highly energized service, approximetly 350 members sitting on the floor under high temperatures worshiping God with so much zeal and thirst. The team ministered to the kids and the church, experienced a lot of miracles of healing and deliverance in the services.
Traveled almost 3 hours away from Chennai town to a small Village where Kevin and Debra have a church plant. Open Air meeting in the village, had a wonderful time with the kids in the village and did minister to the people again by the grace of God we saw the power of God. The previous Pastor had passed on last year at the age of 32 leaving behind a widow and two kids, the Lord ministered to the Pastor’s widow so powerfully. What a joy to see her getting soaked in the anointing and receiving the assurance from heaven that, it is well. Praise God!!!
Took a local Flight and flew with the team to a state of Visakhapatnam.we were graciously hosted by pastor Paulson. Drove in a convoy of two cars for 3 hours to the village and put up at the orphanage. What a moment to meet up with beautiful kids with genuine love of God and affection, so gifted. Thursday and Friday had a pastor’s conference. By the grace of God we had 150 pastors in attendance. After the final teaching on Friday evening, we laid hands on all of them. God touched us all. It was phenomenal!!! God was moving across the congregation, touching His people and delivering them from various ailments and diseases. A few people got delivered from the spirit of witchcraft that manifested in the service. It was truly awesome in the truest sense of the word!
Later had a nice evening with the kids and the team. Fireworks at the rooftop. Spent the Saturday with the kids at the Beach and later did a meeting in a village church. Sunday had four services, witnessed amazing creative miracles. Watch out for the photos. Saw tumors disappear, a man had a motorbike accident couldn’t not walk began walking etc.many more gave their lives to the Lord. Witnessed the Lord heal a child of 5 months with a heart condition and we dedicated the baby and called him”Samuel”.the parents were Hindu.
It was humbling yet so full of impact. our lives were so changed by our mission to India. The faces of the kids in the slum and the zeal and commitment of the pastor’s will forever be imprinted in my heart. Taking a team back next year in February. Can’t wait. To God be the Glory!

| The Word | Wednesday 23rd September 2009 |
The most important part of my day is Bible study and spending time with God. Every morning without fail, I spend time in the word for guidance, inspiration and direction for the day. If you don’t have a daily time of prayer and Bible study I encourage you to make that a part of your day. As important as Bible study is, it’s equally as important for us to “be” God’s word extended to the world around us. Devine wisdom and ideas are conceived in the moment of intimacy with God
