Crusade #8 - INDIA
🔥 REDEEMING HOPE CRUSADE #8 🔥 (our first in December) was wonderfully blessed of the Lord! Thank you for your faithful prayers 🙏🏻 and sacrificial giving to make this meeting possible!
The event was held among the Koya Tribal people in Yatapaka, Andhra Pradesh. 🇮🇳 Well over 700 people attended with 300+ trusting in Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour!! (Psalm 118:23)
Over the past week this part of India experienced massive rains ⛈️, rendering the ground at the original meeting place unusable (like a muddy swamp). This forced the pastors involved hosting the meeting to find a secondary location. Things were tight, and chairs were out in different “wings” to accommodate the crowd — but people came from the surrounding region via autorickshaws with great delight to watch some “American movie” that had been advertised.
To give you some background, the Koya are primarily farmers and worship nature. They have had very little contact with the One True God. There is even word of cannibals still living among them in the remotest parts. Many men here have learned how to make their own alcohol and have given their lives over to this Satanic brew.
The movie touched so many hearts. At the end, all were rejoicing!! There IS hope!! Bro. Bharath shared, “Everyone was with happy heart during the meal after the film and saying how beautiful the wonderful Gospel is presented. They had never seen such a powerful movie like this before.” 😭❤️🙏🏻🙌🏻
Many many testimonies given were very similar, saying — “Literally we don't understand the Love of Christ truly, but after the watching the movie we understand no matter how wretched Sinner we are, God loves us and forgive us. We never expected or understood that God loves us this much! Thanks for the clear understanding of God's love!”
Here are a few specific testimonies that we decided to highlight for you! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
✅ My father was a drunkard man, He will come to church only during the time of Christmas and New year season. By Gods grace, my father came today to attend the meeting and he watched the movie very carefully. After the meeting while we having the dinner together, my father shared his experience with me personally, literally how this movie touched his heart, especially when he watched Hero Character (Denver) he understand clearly, How God could change wretched sinners like Denver. He understood very clearly and submitted his life to the Lord and asked for forgiveness. He told me very clearly he will attend the Church regularly, and He promised me to that he won't drink again alcohol. It was a great testimony in my entire life.
✅ I'm doing a job in somewhere in a city, we are staying in room, and some of my roommates and friends are addicted to alcohol and all the kinds of stuff which we suppose not to do. Many times they asked me to drink alcohol and I started to drink with them. I literally don't know drinking alcohol was a great sin. Today I came to attend this meeting, I understand when I watched this movie What I'm doing and that how this could lead my life and destroy my family. Today I understand the penalty of sin, but God touched my heart, God changed my life, Today I taken a decision, it's better to not drink any alcohol which will destroyed my life. And I accepted Christ as my personal savior and Lord. Thank you so much for the wonderful film, it was touched my heart. Pray for me!
✅ I'm a widowed women, I suffer alone every day in my life, because I lost my husband, and I think there is no hope. I attend the church, and every time when I attend the church, I get comfort from the word of God, but still I am literally suffering everyday, and living a discouragement life. Many times, I have thought to take my own life by doing suicide, but after I watched the movie, any worst situations in my life no matter how much I lost my peace or happiness, and having a great troubles and problems, I understand very clearly that God is there with me no matter what. Today I found a great hope in Jesus. He is there. Thank you for this hope in Jesus!
✅ I am a servant of God, I have done pastored the past five years, but I haven’t done any fruitful ministry, literally I have been in the greatest discouragement in my life. Even as I came today, I think that God’s ministry is all about getting fame and name and having a big church and lot of believers, but when I watched this film, I understand very clearly every servant of God must have heart of the evangelist who knocks on the door. When hero is taking his life, it was a great encouragement me to see the way Sir Warren cared for the lost soul. Today I decided to do ministry how God wants me to do. I will have concern each and every soul in my life. Not fame. I really praise God the great presentation of the wonderful movie, thank you so much for the director of the movie and his vision for the lost souls.
✅ In my village I live a comfortable life I have everything, but in my heart I suffer alone by lacking something in my life, which I could not find. I came to watch this movie tonight hopeless, but after watching this movie I understand if God dwells in my heart I can have great joy and peace in my life. I accepted the Lord. I really praise God for the great privilege in my life to watch this film!
SOULS SAVED!! 🔥 LIVES CHANGED!! 🔥 REVIVAL STIRRED!! 🔥 To God be the glory!!!! 🙌🏻
Bro. Bharath shared with me, “Many pastors present are requesting us, if possible, please do this type of meeting in our place! It brings great joy in my heart.” Who knows what open doors this crusade might bring in the future?
