This is Part 2 of my update on our four-month, People-of-Peace project. You can see Part 1 by going here. Remember, we have several financial needs for our work in India. These needs were listed in Part 1,
so I won't list them again. Instructions on how to support these needs
can be found at the bottom of this post. Please pray with us for God's
perfect provision.
Thank you for praying for
these men and for the needs of this project. I truly believe that God
is moving to advance His kingdom among these two unreached people
groups.
Until ALL Have Heard,
Eric
District 13
Our missionary went to a very poor village. This village has a very poor water supply and there is a lot of drinking of alcohol and womanizing. Recognizing the strongholds of the village, our missionary sent for his wife. She began to make contacts with women and he with men. They were trying to work among families to address the alcohol and the broken families caused by the womanizing. They developed a relationship with a family and that family introduced them to other families. As this unfolded, they were introduced to a family who was suffering from jaundice and brain fever. They prayed for this family and gave them medical care. This family has accepted the Lord and discipling is now happening.

District 14
Our missionary traveled to a town that
has a reputation for anti-Christian activities. The first person he
came in contact with was an old woman who was sick and had suffered
from paralysis for some time. He offered to pray for her, but her son
objected and made our missionary leave the home and even the town. He
went to a nearby village and began to fast and pray, asking the Lord to
show him where he should go next. As he did this, he was clearly led
back to the same town. He also felt that the Lord would give him favor
and protection. He went again and prayer walked the entire town
without talking or making contact. Soon, he was summoned to the town
head's home to be questioned about what he was doing. As he waited, he
noticed a child who appeared to be mentally disabled. He approached
the child, who was 11-years-old, and the Holy Spirit revealed to him
that the child was demonized. He then
cast the demon out of the child and all who were present were amazed,
including the town head. The town head welcomed our missionary. This
is how a persecutor became a person of peace.
District 15
Our missionary went to a remote village,
rented a home, fasted and prayed for one week inside the home and then
started to prayer walk the area. One morning, while he was prayer
walking, he noticed a crowd of people gathering in front of a home.
Being curious, he asked what had happened and learned that the family
who lived in that house had a daughter who was dying. They were
mourning her death, even before she had died. Our missionary pushed
his way into the home and asked the father if he could pray for the
girl. The father agreed, but some of the neighbors protested. Our
missionary convinced the father that he had nothing to lose, so the
father agreed. The girl was healed and this home became an open door
for the knowledge and salvation of the Lord.
District 16
Our missionary went to a town where he
rented a home and started to fast and pray. He was prayer walking the
village twice a day and talking to people the Lord brought him into
contact with. He would visit with many beggars, slum dwellers, rag
pickers and vegetable sellers every day. One of these conversations
resulted in him learning that the town had a leper colony nearby. He
visited the colony the next day and tried to gain access by singing
praises to the Lord. This gained him much attention and he was
ultimately invited to the home of the social worker who ran the leper
colony. That night, he shared the good news with this family and they
repented and began to follow Jesus. He is now discipling this family.
District 17
Our missionary went to a large village
area with a population of more than 50,000. He prayed and fasted in
spiritual warfare for one week before he left his home. He began to
prayer walk and make contacts as the Lord led. One evening, he came
across a witch doctor who was in a courtyard of a home unsuccessfully
trying to cast out a demon. When our missionary saw an opportunity to
interfere, he told the witch doctor that he could cast out the demon if
given a chance. The witch doctor agreed and our missionary commanded
the demon to leave in the name of Jesus and the demon immediately
obeyed. The witnesses were amazed at the authority our missionary had
and he began to share the story of Jesus with them. That night,
thirteen people repented of their unbelief and began to follow Jesus,
including the witch doctor. Now, the former witch doctor is being
discipled as our man of peace.
