Our Final Days

India is a nation that is FULL of religion. It is the way of life here...Hinduism, Muslim and even some others. Christianity in the past was reported to be only 3-4% in India. But today, the Hindu leaders are shaken by a new report that says 17% are professing Christianity. That disturbs them greatly and is causing persecution among the Christians. But as we know, when Christians are suppressed it seems they get bolder and tell more about Jesus, causing the numbers to increase! Praise God He is working in a very hard place.

I went to villages where the pastors had incredible testimonies. One was a muslim man who was so confused and disturbed in his mind that he just wandered the streets for 4 years. Then one day, he saw a bright light and out of the light a voice said, "Will you trust me?" He didn't know who it was! But a church was very nearby that was holding a worship service and he went in. He then realized it was Jesus who had spoken to him. He is the overseer of several pastors today with a very stable mind and a heart totally for Jesus.

Another Hindu man had a similar experience where he had a vision of Jesus. He hadn't even heard of Jesus and yet Jesus cared enough about him to bring this man to Himself. Visions and dreams are being experienced all over India as well as the Middle East as Jesus is drawing mankind to himself. Another pastor spoke of having a sister-in-law that was a Christian. He was Hindu. He would curse her, treat her badly and even beat her over her faith. The Lord appeared to Him and now not only he but all 7 of his brothers are Christians and serving the Lord!

Let us always consider the power of Jesus and that He will never leave the unsaved alone even if there is no missionary or preacher in the area. God loves mankind soooooo much! So as we prepare to leave this nation, I realize that God will do whatever He needs to do, use those who make themselves available to Him and the heart of a nation will be changed to embrace His love.

Continue to pray for us as we return back to our home land and lives. We must never forget the nations where it is a struggle to be a Christian. Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ who are on the frontlines.
