Crusades #21-#25 - INDIA
🔥🇮🇳🙌🏻 TO GOD BE THE GLORY!! 🙌🏻🇮🇳🔥 Last week at our four “Redeeming Hope Crusades” there were over 2,300 in attendance with 570+ trusting Christ as their personal Saviour!!
Bro Bharath Kumar and our team drove over 1400 kilometers (round trip) to conduct these crusades. Scores of pastors were involved(at least 47 involved with one crusade alone!) with a fervent labor of love through prayer 🙏🏻, personal soulwinning 🗣️, and coordination 🤝. Several churches worked together in providing food and transportation for the multitudes to come. Praise the Lord for the joyful and willing sacrifice of God’s people to make these meetings a success!! 😭❤️🙌🏻
Yes, the Devil may have fought (and at times fought hard as these meetings were being held in Hindu strongholds — one even being held in a very remote tribal place deep in the jungle where paganism runs rampant). Nevertheless, the power of God prevailed! “If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31). With each crusade, I heard from Bro Kumar how the Lord brought spiritual victory in spite of random attempts to shut down the meetings through temporary power outages, equipment failure, or even personal confrontation and resistance by infidels. THIS IS WHY YOUR INTERCESSION IS SO IMPORTANT . . . .
Through what Bharath Kumar has shared with me, the pastors and church people there in India wish they could somehow, someway express their deep love and appreciation to each and every one of who DO faithfully pray and for those who have financially given so these meetings could be made possible! These places had never experienced a Gospel movie on a massive LED wall before (and a few of the places had never had a Gospel movie shown in their area ever prior to these crusades)! ON THEIR BEHALF — THANK YOU!! ❤️🙏🏻🙌🏻 Your sacrifice is not in vain. God is using you greatly!!
Once again, the testimonies we’ve received of how the love and hope of Christ has touched so many lost souls who never knew there was a God who loved them and truly cared about them are simply overwhelming. 😭😭😭 My family and I have wept often as we’ve read the accounts after each Crusade. Here are just a few we decided to include in this report of God’s amazing grace:
✅ Me and my husband have always an argument, I’m the only one in my family who believes in the Lord. It's very very hard to attend the church sometimes, but today I requested him to come with me and watch the movie. First he rejected but later he said, “Okay, I will come today, but don't force me to accept Jesus.” So he came with me, and we watched it. Right after the movie the preacher asked very straight way if you never trusted in the Lord for salvation and you asked Jesus to save you tonight to raise your hand. I just looked to my husband at what he is doing, and he raised his hand! I literally cried in the presence of Lord. I never expected my husband would submitted his life to Jesus. But today God saved him through this powerful movie, I'm the witness. Thanks for the privilege to attend this meeting.
✅ There is no other great joy in this world than knowing Jesus and knowing that He died for me. Today when I watched this movie, I understand in my life how wretched sinner I am. Yet Jesus died for me and He forgiven all my sins. I submitted my life to Jesus. Please pray for me.
✅ I'm from a Hindu background, one of my friend invited me to watch the movie. Usually I would not go with him to something of the church, but today my friend asked me to watch the movie. I came, and I never thought before that Jesus had concern for each and every individual. We always thought Jesus is only God for Christians. But today I understand while I watching the movie Jesus is God for everyone. When Preacher at the end asked so clearly if you never trusted Lord for salvation and you accepted Christ tonight to raise your hand, Literally I very afraid to raise my hand, but I prayed in my heart, and I submitted my life to Jesus. Thank God!
✅ This was so wonderful movie, I never realised before that God can forgive any worst Sinner. As I heard an audio commercial from an autorickshaw driving by that there will be a movie tonight, I just came to watch this movie to see what it was. And it was then that God spoke to me. I realised how worst Sinner I am and also how great is He truly is and how that Jesus could save me. I submitted my life to Jesus. He alone is my Savior.
✅ My finance encouraged me to attend the meeting with her today (we are getting married by next month). I never trusted the Lord for salvation, I always against God. I usually use vulgar words to the Pastors, but today God spoked me very clearly through this film. I understand I'm a sinner. I need a Savior, I cannot save myself, only Jesus can save me. I submitted my life to Him. Please pray for me.
✅ I was doing job in nearby city, and some one passed a flyer to me and invited me to watch this movie. Literally I don't know why I came, I am addicted all kinds of sins, I don't have peace in my life. I came and I understand greatly I'm a great sinner, I need Jesus in my life. I accepted Christ as my personal Savior and Lord please do pray me.
✅ My wife and I have had many arguments in our lives, we don't have peace. Sometimes I felt to leave the home and live my life, but I then see my children and I change my opinion. Today I understand God's love for me, I surrender my life to Jesus, and I know He can change me. Pray for me.
✅ My husband having alcohol addiction, everyday we had fight each other, we don't have kids too, it has been 5 years we got married. Literally everyday I'm dying to live, today I came with lots of discouragement in my life, when I watched the movie I understand, one day God will change my husband surely. I trust in the Lord, I will do pray for my husband. Thanks for opportunity to watch the movie.
✅ I have a drinking problem, I'm living in darkness. I know how to make local alcohol, I am very expert in that. In my life I don't have peace even though I’m using and selling this alcohol. I knew something was lacking in my life. Today, fortunately, I came to watch this movie. For the first time, I understand greatly how wretched sinner I am, God spoke directly to me through this movie. Even though how great sinner I am, Jesus died for my sins, I trusted Lord for Salvation! Please do pray for me.
✅ I understand how great sinner I am after I watched the film, I never knew that God will forgive my sins. He died for me. I want to live a life for Him, please do pray for me. I submitted my life to Jesus!
✅ It was a great movie, to know more about who the true God is. He will never leave at any cost. I felt today after I watched this movie, God has a great purpose for my life. I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior and Lord.
✅ I submitted my son’s life to the Lord when he was in my womb. I always used to encourage him to do the Lord’s ministry, but he never cared for my word. Always he is against me, we had many many discussions. He has never agreed to do ministry. He wants to do a secular job and business. Today I brought him to watch the film. I thought he would leave, but he put a lot of interest to watching the movie. After the meeting, He came to me with tears and said, “I want to go to Bible college!” Really this was a shock to me. I asked him, why this suddenly decision? He said, “I was truly inspired from the movie, after God changed Denver’s life after all his struggles he decided to do God's ministry. So I have taken the decision to do God's ministry and to serve the Lord. Tonight I submitted my life to the Lord completely.” It brings me great joy to see my son want to live for Him! Thank you so much for this wonderful film! Continue to pray for my son.
👉🏻 “This is the Lord’s doing, and it’s marvellous in our eyes” (Psalm 118:23). Many of the pastors who attended these Crusades were thrilled with how the movie touched so many lives and requested Bro Kumar to come and conduct a Redeeming Hope Crusade in their village. WOW!! We need your help. Would you please pray for the Lord to give wisdom and power in the days ahead? WE HAVE SOME VERY BIG AND EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENTS COMING SOON!! Please stay tuned 🤗 God is mightily at work . . . .
