September 2 - India

• Rameshwaram is one of the most holy places in the Hindu religion that is dominated by strongholds and temples. Pray for God’s protection and anointing for directors Elsie and Danny as they hold a pastors’ seminar there on 3–5 September. Topics include How to Pass from Curse to Blessing and Spiritual Warfare. Pray for breakthroughs for many pastors and growth in their ministries.
• Elsie and Danny also plan to train pastors in the rural areas of Chennai on 9–10 September and in southern India on 11 September. Pray for many to have their lives changed.

Outreach Reports

During July, pastors’ conferences were held in seven cities in south Karnataka, two of which were new places for the team. In Bangalore, 150 pastors came, with some traveling 300 kilometers. After one seminar, Elsie shared:

“We last visited Belagavi nine years ago, when 25 pastors came. Now, more than 200 crammed into the same hall. They brought their next-level leaders, mostly women, who came from tribal groups—shepherd tribes, gypsy tribes, the high-class Lingayat community and many others. All were saved from a non-Christian background and now each one nurtures 15 to 20 believers. For many, this was the only seminar where they were not shunned but accepted and taught. At the end, the organizing pastor stood up with tears in his eyes and said this balanced doctrine was what they needed for a breakthrough in their regions. We praise God for the immense results, the hunger, and the open doors in several new districts.” 

Elsie received many testimonies, including this one:

“I traveled 220 km to be at today’s seminar after almost deciding not to attend. Three years ago, I lost my husband due to witchcraft against us. He built us a house and wanted to run a church on the upper floor. But there was much opposition and, as a result, he lost his life. I was in a dilemma. Keep the house or sell it? Run the ministry or give up? Through the teaching today, God answered every question in my heart. He showed me that no matter what sorcery or witchcraft is being done against me, I have authority over the works of the devil. I have been so encouraged that I will now go out and help those who are bound like me to be set free from the bondages of the enemy! Today, I have learned the truth, and the truth has set me free!! I am going back empowered and encouraged to build the ministry that I was considering stopping.” — Pastor Deborah

• A great outreach is taking place with the Seafarers Missions based in Scotland. They recently ordered the Self-Study Bible Course in different languages, which they use as they travel to different countries. The turnaround time for cargo ships is usually hours rather than days, and the crews are on duty. But the Word is sown.

Prison Chaplain Testimony:

“One prisoner whom I met did not know Jesus when he first came in, and he was very down and scared. I led him to the Lord, and he began to read Derek’s books. He found reading very hard but was begging for more books until he had read all the books you had sent us. He was transformed by the Holy Spirit! He also developed a prophetic art gift which he did not have before. So many prisoners have been blessed by the books. My colleague, a Chaplain but a rather reserved one, took home Derek’s book on the Blood of Jesus. He came in and couldn’t stop talking about it and now keeps speaking the Blood of Jesus in his prayers!”
