During the past three months, India has been a hotbed of COVID-19 infection and death. Yet, in the midst of India’s terrible crisis, God has been glorified through his people.
In spite of mortal danger, God’s people have put their lives on the line, feeding hungry people who could not work during pandemic shutdowns, and by visiting and praying for virus-infected people lying glassy-eyed on their deathbeds.
During the depts of the pandemic, church leaders continued sharing the Good News with people of all ages and baptizing them into Chris, not knowing whether or not they were infected with COVID-19.
In the May 1st issue of the WEI-India newsletter, we read that Bro. Subhash Chandra Bose baptized five people at Kalvakur, Srikalahasthiu.
Prabhu Kumar, the Director of WEI-INDIA, broke down barriers by using Zoom to preach the gospel to people in India and Bangladesh.
Prabhu reports, “In this pandemic, people are trembling with fear of death everywhere. Our WEI students also are fearing death in Bangladesh, so I taught the word of God to strengthen them through ZOOM last Friday.
“In the same way, I thought it was good to teach the truth to the unknown pastors of denominations who are working in the state of Haryana where idol worship and false babas are ruling the ignorant people. So Bro. Rakesh Masihi arranged a ZOOM meeting to share the word yesterday from 4pm to 5pm. By the grace of God, I taught the word of God on the topic, ‘Seeking the TRUTH.’ Nearly 10 denominational pastors connected to our class, thanked me with full satisfaction, and asked to take the class once a week.
“Thank God for opening doors to teach the truth even in this Pandemic.”
