This is Julie. Greetings from Bhastra India in the state of West Bengal. Thank you to all of our friends and family that have prayed and continue to pray for us and the people of India, we feel your prayers and the annointing of the Holy Spirit.
Last night, there was an evangelistic event where many many souls came to Christ. The backdrop to this story was that, less than two weeks ago, there was no money available to hold this event. By the grace of God, and the friendship, prayers and support of many in Northwest Arkansas the provision became available for this specific event.
The local pastor, Simon Islam, established a Christian Mission and ministry here many years ago, birthed out of the relationship with David and Jan Woodrum from the Harvest of Jubilee ministry. It was Simon's vision to have a large crusade, however, the Lord brought him into the Kingdom of Heaven to see it from the other side of answered prayer. Simon died of a heart attack exactally a month from the day of the event, January 5, 2012.
Last night we were witness to the fruit of Simon's prayer, and work of bringing the Kingdom of God to earth. Simon's son, Simpson continues with the ministry. David gave the pure and simple message of the gospel from the creation of Adam and Eve to the birth of Jesus. The people were hungry for truth and hope, and many people received the Lord Jesus Christ as their saviour. Many were prayed for and healed from infirmities, pain, and prolonged illness. It was not because we came here, but the work of the Holy Spirit.
Praise God for His love, mercy grace and his abudant blessings.
In the name of Jesus,
Julie
