Training Timothy's

One great thing here is the fact young men and women are here from the remote villages of north India. They are extremely poor and are cared for here and assisted in their training towards being a pastor, and eventually sent back to preach the Gospel.

What a privilege to teach and encourage and pray with these delightful young people! After a time of worship and teaching we asked them to reflect on what they had learnt with the help of my lap top and a worship song with pictures of creation. Closing with prayer and calling upon the Holy Spirit to give them a fresh vision for God and to be filled a fresh, turned out to be a powerful and moving event. God showed up big time…… many broke down and wept and cried aloud to God in open prayer. This was so controlled and yet an awesome experience! I have never seen before so many people crying out to the Lord with such passion and sincerity . The leader who teaches this group of about 50 students encouraged this opportunity to express them selves and kindly interpreted some of those audible prayers.



We were all greatly moved by the hand of God touching lives in such a powerful way, a memory we will always hold close to our hearts! I know how right it is that we must seek further training ourselves so that we can become even more equipped to bless our brothers and sisters in Christ, there is a passion welling up as we see God using us through your prayers…thank you in the name of Jesus!
