Together for God:
India 2001
God's investment in our future
Wednesday 1st August
The second Pastors Conference starts today.
Greetings from Guddyatam!
We are very encouraged
at the spiritual atmosphere here. The pastors are very open
and receptive and from the first session have been responding
warmly to us all.
It has also been noticeable
that the tummy upsets are finally stopping. Today, for the
first time in several days, all the team members were at
the pastors conference and the gospel meeting. We’re
staying at a very nice hotel which has a good restaurant
and hot showers! This is making everyone happy.
Everyone who has preached
here is even more confident than last week and speaking
with boldness and authority. Last night about 25 people
came to the Lord and tonight around 40 – it was a very
exciting meeting. The prayer emphasis after the meetings
is mainly for healing – there are so many needs and
the people press around us, they so much want prayer.
Tomorrow is the last day
of the pastors conference and again will end with an anointing
service. Please pray for this time and also the gospel meeting
in the evening – the gospel meetings will continue
after we’ve gone until Sunday night. The people here
would value your prayers that God will continue to bless
these times.
We will leave for Bangalore
at 8.00 am on Friday and should arrive around lunchtime.
We have asked Frederick to take us straight to Pizza Hut!
Saturday is the women’s
conference – please pray for Tina and Terrie as they
preach and for Anne and Beth as they give testimonies. We
have to finish by 2.00 pm as we need to be at the orphanage
for the 4.00 pm opening ceremony. Pastor Jackson has invited
3 government ministers to the opening.
On Sunday some of the team
may be distributed to churches in Bangalore, with others
attending Pastor Jackson’s church. He then wants to
give us all lunch at his house. In the evening we leave
by overnight train for Madras. This will be a 6 hour journey
and sleeping compartments have been booked for us. We should
arrive in Madras around 4.30 am and Pastor Jackson will
arrange for a minibus to take us to the airport – our
flight leaves at 10.00 am.
Prayer Requests
1] Pray for the manifest presence of Jesus at the second
Pastor's conference and that the annointing of God will
be upon those who minister
2] Please pray for the team about tiredness and illness
and that God would refresh them.
