MISSION IN MORBI, INDIA

I am writing this email without any internet connection, only available at the cybercafe and now I am in Pune (Ponna). Praise the Lord for the safety journey and good people I met.

It is a Blessed Day when I met Bro. Mirani Jashvant whom is also in the same train with me from Bangalore to Ahmedabad and he invited me to his home at Morbi (5 hours away from Ahmedabad to the west), State of Gujarat . I left Ahmedabad on the November 23rd, 2007 around 7.30am and reached Morbi around 12.45pm. It is a village city and not a busy village even through you may hear lots of horn.

Bro. Mirani is a college teacher and also a tuition teacher that teaches accounting and statistics. He invited me to attend the classes and asked me to share the Good News, about myself, my country and etc to the students. Most of the students don’t understand English, therefore he translate to Gujarati language for me. I estimated 200 over students attending his tuition class and his wife also a teacher in the tuition centre. They are so excited to hear God’s Word and they know that only change India is only God can do it. Attach is photos of the students.

I also become a witnessed of a traditional match-making couple. Like nowadays, we don’t have this kind of match-making system and we choose who we like, then get marry. The girl will never come to the house, till the guy saw the picture and resume, after that the guy will decide to qualify her or not. If the guy qualify her and his parents agree, the guy will go and meet the girl. Then both will get marry.

Lastly, I went to visit to Mother Theresa’s Mission of Charity and I met a Head of the Sister. She felt so excited to meet me and invited me to pray at the service area. I went to visit the baby orphanage and I give the babies the Blessing. The babies are without parents. Some babies is quite sick and got heal immediately after I make a short prayer for them. It is amazing how God’s touch them and All Glory to the Lord! She invited me to come for the mass service and meet the head priest of Catholic but I have to reject the offer.

Now I am staying with Bro.Mathaikutty (former professor of theology) that I met at Bangalore Airport and spent a day with him. We share lots of common topics about Christianity and also prophesy.

May God provide us the provision and love to all of us.

Blessing,

INDIA FIRST MISSION MAP

MISSION IN BANGALORE, INDIA

Greeting from my friend’s house, Ahmedabad, State of Gujarat, India (North West India).

It is a blessed trip and everything goes very smooth in the hand of God. Trust and obey the Lord’s Commandment, everything will go accordingly to His Plan.

Before a day I left from Bangalore , I had a dinner in one of the small restaurant. While eating my vegetarian meal, a man with his uncle came and sat in front of me, then I greet them. During the period, I share about what are me doing in India and his uncle got excited and invited me to come to his hometown near Kerala (1 hour by train) and I accept the offer. They offer me the best milk in India, best foods in India and etc, and they paying for all my expenses when I am there. Praise the Lord! They also want me to share gospel with them and their villages…Halleluyah!

The next day (Nov 13th), I took the train to Ahmedabad to meet my friend, Premal, my long lost friend for 12 years and the journey took me 36 hours ride. During the ride to Ahmedabad, almost everyone inside the train came to meet me and I started to worry. I make it short summary as it is too long to describe the whole story. I met a famous actor, state politician, a teacher and etc. They are difference cities and provinces. The next morning, I started to share about what God want me to do and His Word to them, they immediately felt excited to listen to it…9 - 10 people will come and listen and then another group will come. Finally, after finished sharing, they personally invited me to come to their home and share the gospel to the villages and students. They even want to pay all my expenses while I am there and offer me a stay in their home. Some of them called their friends and ask me to talk to them too…everyone is so excited with it. Praise the Lord! Some of the invitation, I have to decline due to my tight schedule in India and my financial limitation.
Two of them share with me that some missionaries came to see them and brought many freebies like clothes, foods and etc, they listen and reject the gospel as they tried to buy them up. They said that my way is difference as they saw my heart is with God…they feel it very strong and they want to fulfill all my activities that God had planned the trip. Praise the Lord as I walk by Faith!

I will be staying at my friend’s house and spend a little time with him before depart for the next destination where the gospel will be share. Halleluyah!
God Bless and uphold the India people on the Great News!

Blessing,
Pastor Steve Peter H S Kok

FIRST MISSION IN INDIA, JUST LANDED

God is good always!

I had reached Bangalore yesterday around 3am and will be staying here till tomorrow (November 13th, 2007), directly to Ahmedabad (north-west India - 36 hours).

There is a few exciting news to be shares with all of you.

Something good happen in the Bangkok New Airport. I met two Bosnian men (Eastern Europe) and now living in Australia. I shared the gospel with them, one of them is a serious killer (like Taming the Tiger) and he confessed his sins, then he accepted the Lord as a saviour. He will be back to Bangkok to look and learn about God’s Way. How God use me during the period? You must believe that the Lord, got His timing.

I met a brother whom is also a professor in the India university in Pune (middle west India) at the Bangalore Airport. He guided me about India and spends the whole day with me, eating and walking. He is a Pentecostal also a theology expert, then I shared about the current issues, discipleship, Eng Time Commandment and the restoration of Israel. With the interest, Bro, Maithakutty decided want to follow me with the Lord’s guidance. I will be meeting him after Ahmedabad at Pune. He also wants me to guide his wife whom is a teacher in Thailand. Praise the Lord, everything goes work amazingly. Believe His Way.

I have to get going…May the Lord pour amazing love into our heart.

BEFORE DEPART TO INDIA FROM THAILAND

Greeting “Happy Diwali” and we should share the joy to the Hindu people as they will see our loves them. Therefore, we can start our evangelism…this is beginning of the gospel.

I have two more days before I fly to Bangalore, India and my departure date is November 10th, 2007 at 10.30pm and arrival at 2.30am.

Update on the mission funds collection is Thai Baht 29,900. God will continue to provide the provision and bless the mission partners.

Due to the lack of funds, I will be going alone to India as Brother Charles and Brother Francis unable to raise fund for the mission trip and my funds is limited. By God’s grace, we should continue to uphold them in prayer. My mission trip to Pakistan is cancel, it is because the country is on the curfew and Pakistan Embassy refused to issue any visa for a temporary basis.

It is amazing when I communicated with a Christian sister. Sister Olive from Myanmar now in Bangkok doing her degree here at ABAC University and she is a catholic, as I share with her about the way of Christ and the fulfillment of End Time Commandment. She wants to learn more after I come back from India. Praise the Lord as the Lord led her to the right direction.

Another Good News is that Brother Francis felt the presence of the Lord 4 days ago while cried out loud to the Lord. The Lord used me to guide and train him up so that he can be a disciple and join me in the team. Halleluyah!

The next email will be in India if I can get internet access.

God Bless and May the Lord be your protected.

Blessing,
Pastor Steve Peter H S Kok
