REVIVAL IN INDIA !!!

Signs, wonders and new churches in Northern India as of 1998, I am sure God would have helped them Multiply in the last 8 years. Glory to his name ! AMEN !

"Our main aim is to plant new churches, because we are convinced that it is the most effective method for completing the Great Commission in Matthew 28:10," says Dr. Alex Abraham, previously a neurosurgeon famous throughout Northern India who now heads 'Operation Agape'. "The movement has grown from 1,500 to 3,000 house churches in the past three years. The Reach Punjab 2000 movement set itself the aim of planting churches in each of Punjab's post code areas; in July 1998, 220 had no church, now only 33 remain."

Persecution & Attacks

"The stronger the persecution, the more doors open", he says "Many of God's servants in Northern India are repeatedly attacked, their literature is stolen, their buildings and vehicles damaged. And yet Jesus continues to add people to his Kingdom." In Kinnaur/Pradesh, a Hindu fanatic joined the church, and was even baptised, but is now trying to denounce the church. But the church in Kinnaur still continues to grow: in the last 5 years, 21 churches have been planted with a total of more than 2,000 members. Samuel John from Shadol District in Madhya Pradesh reports that armed Hindu guerrillas set out to Chirimeri to break up an event. They were unable to complete their journey because their Jeep stopped for no apparent reason. The driver later told of what had happened, and the whole group now wants to hear the gospel.

Mother healed & Witch Doctor Baptised

Om Prakash was an idol worshipper and witch doctor in Kotli Village, Haryana. He was familiar with the devil and even drove demons out of people with his magic tricks - for money. Six months ago, his mother became seriously ill, and was close to death. Om Prakash tried all of his magic arts and even took her to the hospital, but her condition worsened. One day, he spoke with a demon, asking him how his mother's life could be saved. "I cannot give her life," the demon replied. In anger, Om Prakash destroyed all his idols. At that moment, Pastor Joseph was able to pray for Om Prakash's mother, who was completely healed. In March 2000, an Operation Agape team celebrated the baptism of not only the mother, but also of Om Prakash himself, his wife and father. May The Lord Continue To Bless These Ministries ! AMEN !
