Evening services (by Tyrone)



The day is Thursday the 17th it’s 8:30 PM and Doctor Kumar is patiently waiting for his 9 American/ Canadian visitors to get ready and leave for the evening service. After a few hours of rest we are ready another round of praising our Risen Savior Jesus Christ.

Arriving at our field of worship there are bright lights burning, and people everywhere singing and clapping to the beating of the drum. Our driver brings us right next to the stage, and as we get up on the stage it gets even louder! Looking out into the crowd we can hardly see the end of the field where people are. Doctor Kumar said he expected right around 2000 people for the service and there are not many empty chairs. He said that many people in attendance would be Hindus. 

 After the opening prayer Ansten had a sermon and 10 minutes into it all the lights went out. The generator ran out of fuel. So, after a 15 minute break they got a few of the lights back on and the service resumed.

After Ansten’s service John had a powerful message pleading with non-believers to come unto Christ. And after his sermon everyone was invited to come to the stage for personal prayer from one of the team members. We formed 8 different lines and prayed for all of those who came forward. 

The service was such a blessing and we pray many non-believers were saved that evening. Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
