We just finished 1 week propagation training in , South Tamil Nadu. This was 8th time of training in this nature. Yesterday, 43 saints were going to 2 new localities, namely Sivakasi and Shengottai, for the spreading and propagation to raise up new churches and to a city, Alangoram, to strengthen the new believers there the church was established in December 2010. This new church was raised up in the 3 weeks propagation by a small group of saints with the vital daily living.
What we used to have in the 1 week trainings is mainly on enjoying “The Gospel of John” and “1 Thessalonians” the RcV material you prepared in small groups with much prayer, reading and speaking to another. As a result, the saints were filled with Spirit, the Word and joy and thus become vitalized. In addition, much confession in their morning personal time, pray-reading the word in the morning revival time with their companions and 3 message sessions a day were also parts of the training in the 1 week.
The saints who are propagating in the gospel move are volunteers. They come from the churches in this area. Their participation in the move is quite organic; no coworkers are engaged in this gospel move. After the training they registered themselves for the spreading of the gospel in the new localities. They will continue to live the same living as they have practiced in the one week training in the cities they are going. They should manage their daily cooking during this 3 weeks.
110 saints attended the 1 week training and of them 16 were baptized. Many of these new believers were with tears when they got baptized. Their prayers were very strong and loud. Nearly 35 new contacts too attended the 1 week training. They were so much touched by the living of the saints in one accord and the way the saints enjoying the ministry. They proclaimed the church in Peravurani is established and they will have their 1st Table meeting on June 12 2011. Before that day they will need to get a clearance for meetings from police department since persecution to them is very sever in that town. Distance from Tenkasi to Peravurani is about 1000km; 16 hours by bus. Please pray for this new locality.
May the Lord remember the saints’ labor in Alanguram, Sivakasi and Shengottai! May the Lord raise up the 2 new churches after 3 weeks! May the Lord strengthen the saints’ faith in Peravurani!
