"I'm always outside the church listening, but I don't have Jesus on the inside. I need Jesus on the inside."
I heard these words from an elderly man. He works as the caretaker of a church property. I spoke in that church for 3 evenings, each time inviting people to receive Christ. He had been listening outside. As we were leaving the church compound on the final evening, I had a brief encounter with him. And he had a powerful encounter with Jesus. The result was that he prayed to invite Jesus into His life, and instantly became an "insider" to the family of God!
The time in India included pastor's seminars, evangelistic services, Bible College teaching, Sunday ministry in churches, and much more. People came to Christ (and were healed and set free); Christians committed themselves to greater involvement in reaching the unreached. Pastors said that God challenged them and encouraged them in very specific ways. There was a special opportunity to share with students at a teacher's college. Many indicated a desire to follow Christ. Thanks to Rev. Clarence Maruthiah and other Assemblies of God leaders who hosted me so graciously.
