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
