I would want to share one amazing story with u so that you can praise God. During 1998 persecution in Gujarat (India) ours was the first church that was destroyed by Hindu fanatics. And there were 3 main Hindu leaders who led mobs to persecute Christians not just in our village but also in surrounding villages. Persecution in our village started since 1989 since my grand father was the main figure who converted hundrends of people in my area. Now this 3 men tried to kill him on several occassions but failed. Once they even abondondoned him in jungle after beating up. They thought he was dead. My grand father prayed for this 3 hindu leaders twice a day for more than a decade. He would pray loudly so every believer from our church knew that he is praying for them. Many even ridiculed thinking he is praying for impossible.
But impossible happened 5 years after my grand father died. Today 2 out of 3 hindu leaders from our village have accepted Christ on their own.Praise God for this miracle and please pray for 3rd person who is still hindu. Please also pray for our ministry through which we are planning to reach out all those who were responsible to destroy our church! We are starting a school in our village by coming May. Please pray for the registration and other practical things that we require for the school. Through kids we want to reach out our entire village and surrounding village as well. We require fund to run a school of 40 poor kids who otherwise wouldn't have studied.
I just joined this group and came across your post. Thanks for sharing this miracle; it's an exciting story. You might want to make contact with my colleague, Mike Constantz, who is also a member of this site. Two to three times per year we are training pastors in the Purpose Driven paradigm. We will be in New Delhi, among other places, sometime during July. Blessings.
