INDIA / DELHI

By Linda Wilson, Missionary-at-Large to India

Open Bible ministries in India continue to flourish. Our work in New Delhi, under the leadership of Preethy and Bala, children of field directors John and Anna Paul, continues to flourish. Even with their small church and Bible studies, they are still in daily contact with the people living in the ghettos and streets.

Our goals are to feed those in need and minister and pray for as many people as we can. We are stopping many people from begging on the streets because it is not safe.  These two young children beg on street corners for money to eat. India has an overpopulation problem in its largest cities. It is not safe for women and children to beg on the streets as human trafficking is a global problem.

Our gift bag company, which initially started as a project, now employs six women. They receive a small stipend and enough food for themselves and their family when they work making bags and help with food distribution each week.

Kamla is our oldest employee and is a widow who supports herself and her grandchildren.

Our weekly food distribution includes individual packages to give to those living on the streets and those who have shelter but not enough food to eat. The packets consist of rice, sugar and flour. We distribute between 450 and 500 servings each week. Food distribution continues to grow as we receive funding.

COIMBATORE

Priya and Blesson, Johnathan and Hannah, lead the ministry in Coimbatore after their parents John Paul and Anna handed over the baton to them. Paul and Anna served over 50 years and have seen over 5000 members added to their ministry. 


There is currently a great emphasis on the youth of the Church, our future missionaries, pastors and leaders. 


*(For security reasons, photographs of any of our leaders are not included, but I assure you that they are wonderful spirit-empowered children of God.)

We recently held a very successful Vacation Bible School (VBS) that brought together children from across the community around the church and beyond. 

 

A youth meeting was held last month and was a great success. In the end, young people of up to 25 years old came requesting the use of the church every Friday afternoon for a prayer group. The young people are recognizing that this is the only way their family, friends and the rest of the people in India will know our Lord Jesus Christ and His love for them and will be saved.

I am planning a vision trip to India, so please contact me if any of you wish to join me in visiting this spirit-filled church. Once you have been surrounded by their love and enthusiasm for the Gospel, you will never be the same.
