“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. 2 Corinthians 10:4
“A sister (below) has a wonderful testimony in Chhattisgarh. She was not able to sleep for the last three years, due to which she had severe headache, and she used to hit her head against the walls. She has gone in many hospitals for the checkups, but everywhere her reports came out normal and the sister was also shown to the priests of all the religions but no relief was found. She was given a lot of wine so that he could sleep well. But none of the methods worked. But when she came to the church, the Lord Jesus Christ healed her, set her free, and she slept well that night. But the villagers have asked the sister to leave the village because she believes in Jesus and does not believe in their deity. The village grocery shops have also stopped providing her groceries. No one is helping her in the village. When we came to know, we provided some help to them and sent them to another village about 15 kilometres away. She doesn’t want to leave Jesus because Jesus has healed her. Please pray for help for this sister and her family.”

“Please pray for India, these days have suffered a lot. Four churches of our pastors have been closed in Chhattisgarh. A law is being made in Chhattisgarh government that not more than 20 people can gather at home for prayers. Pastor Hanok organized a pastors’ meeting in which he talked about how to run a church in the situation.”
“In February we had two major feeding events and gospel meetings. The first feeding events and gospel responded to the alter call and accepted Lord Jesus as their Saviour. Evil spirits were manifested, meeting was organised by Pastor Ramesh in Khalchaian Jadid, Firozpur, Punjab. More than 350 people attended the meeting in this area. Pastor Shakuntla preached the Living Word of God and prayed for deliverance. At that time over 14 people were delivered from evils spirits. A man had swelling in his knee for about a month and he was not able to walk. When the pastor was praying, he received his prayer and his miraculous healing began after a few hours. Another sister was having stomach pain for a few days and she also got an ultrasound done. but did not find anything about the disease. But when Pastor Shakuntla placed his hand on sister’s head and prayed. Jesus immediately relieved him of his stomach ache. Another sister was very distressed due to the economic recession and was thinking of committing suicide, but when the Holy Spirit descended on her, she started crying and accepted Jesus as her. Now she is free from tension.”

“Another feeding event and gospel meeting was organised by Pastor Sarabjit in Village Chandiwala District Firozpur, Punjab. The meeting was attended by over 320 people and approximately 80 people accepted Jesus as Pastor Shakuntla preached the word of God. 14 people were delivered from evil spirits. This meeting many people received Holy Spirit and began speaking in tongues and many people got relief from different diseases. A brother had pain and tingling in his legs for 3-4 months. When he received ministry, he was miraculously healed. Another sister had a lump in her breast for a long time. When she received ministry, she realized that the lump had disappeared. We thank the Lord that he increases our faith with his great miracles.”
“This month we have also started a three house churches: one in Firozpur, Punjab and two in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh which are being looked after by Pastor Ramesh in Punjab and Pastor Hanok in Kanpur.”
“In February we had over 28 house meetings. We continue to have our weekly Bible study online every Saturday with Brother Nishant David. We also continue to have 3 days fasting prayer service on the 5th, 6th, and the 7th of this month. At the fasting prayer we pray over all the prayer requests received by the church.”.
