Prabhu Kumar, Director of WEI in India, is working night and day to lead people to Christ. He and his team of WEI teachers are studying with people all over India, and they are baptizing people hand over fist.
For example, Prabhu writes, “At present, I have classes in all the week days. God has been working with me to convert souls from their ignorance. Last Saturday night, a great historical thing happened in my life.
“Since January of last year, I have been going with my family and teaching a Bible class every Sunday afternoon from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Dr. V. Vijay Kumar’s family at Gannavaram. After making clear all of their doubts, last Saturday their entire family decided to be baptized. Both of their two children are our WEI students. From the beginning, I have taught them English and the Bible also.
“This is really a historical thing in their lives also. Their family has been Roman Catholics for 40 years. All their fathers and forefathers have belonged to the same church and have been leaders. The doctor’s family members have been elders in the RCM Church till now.
“Dr. Kumar’s mother has been admitted to the hospital. For one week, they have been shifting her from one hospital to another. Right now, she is on dialysis. Both kidneys have been damaged. Yet this situation did not stop them from implementing their decision to take baptism.
“One more important thing: All the family members were baptized on March 30 which came between ‘Good Friday’ and ‘Easter,’ days celebrated by Roman Catholics in a special way. But those events were not able to bind them. God had fixed the time of their redemption at 6:00 p.m. on the evening of the 30th. I count this event as a great achievement in my life, and they, too, count it as a wonderful milestone in their lives.
“On Sunday, their entire family was supposed to attend worship at our campus. But because of their old mother’s health problem, they stayed in the hospital at Vijayawada. So God helped me conduct the worship service and serve the Lord’s Supper to the Doctor’s family in the car in front of the hospital on the road.”
God is doing great things through Prabhu Kumar and his associates. Let us continue to pray for a fruitful harvest in India.
