India Team Update

Satan did not want the team to make it to the mountains. Traveling from the train station the bus broke down. They had to wait for another bus. Then after traveling for a while a bus tire blew out. They put the new tire on and traveled some more and then the almost didn’t get through a police checkpoint. But after a day and a half of ministry in the mountains, it is evident why Satan didn’t want them in the mountains. They have shared Christ to around 50 people. It has been amazing how God is opening up doors that once were closed. The group went to a grocery store that has always been negative toward hearing the gospel from teams in the past. They talked with the owner and gave him a gospel tape to listen to. He put it in the player immediately and started listening to it with many people in the store. Part of the group was trying to share with some ladies tending some animals. They were very closed to what the team was sharing. Later, our group saw these ladies with more ladies from the village and they shared with them again. This time they were very open and asked the group to share more. Tonight a team of four people are hiking down to show the Jesus film to a group that were very open to the message of the gospel.
They have a day and a half left in the mountains to share. Pray that many are sensitive to the gospel. It is exciting because the translators are also the master teachers for this area. That means if people are open to the gospel then these master teachers can follow up with them and disciple them. It is amazing to think that a small group from south central Kentucky is being used by God to start churches in the mountains of Northern India.
All the team is healthy and regrets not being able to email friends and family. Being in the mountains is truly a blessing, but technology is limited. Please continue to pray for their health and safety as they hike.
