I arrived in India on July 23, and spent the first Sabbath travelling around 4 small meeting places in the slum area of Mumbai. It was nice to see people interested in following Jesus in the midst of the inhuman mess 😉
Yesterday i met a woman who i have been able to call “Sister” for 12 days. She went to a former church member’s home where she was given one of these English 1858 Great Controversy books about 2 years ago. She emailed me, and i got her in contact with a faithful Brother who lives in the same city she does. He wrote me often about how strong the simple faith is of this lady, and told me recently that she was already giving testimonies in church that were making church members wake up from their Laodicean slumber! In her emails she told me stories etc. of how her Hindu family members would persecute her physically and emotionally, but she stayed true to Jesus. Then, when she was grounded in the truth and desirous of baptism, she was refused by the SDA pastor who was afraid that her family members might cause him trouble. But praise God she finally found a blind pastor who isn’t afraid, and he baptized her Sabbath a week ago. It was wonderful to meet her, and to get the joy of knowing a tiny, little bit that you have had a part in bringing someone to Jesus, to live forever together 🙂
India is a crazy, dirty, awful place desperately in need of Christ, and thankfully, many people are desiring a better life than they now have.
Now i’m in Pune, laying plans on how to spread this 1858gc book, and how to make a 3d movie of it. Everyone’s comments and advice is welcome. Of course anyone who wishes to work on making this will be very very very welcome!
