Other reports from Pastor Subodh
Lives transformed by the Basic Training"Thank God for giving me the opportunity to teach the laymen, pastors and to the ordinary believers. The Basic Training program was very good. There were 35 candidates in attendance and most of them were youth. I saw the enthusiasm of the youth after the training program.
We had very encouraging testimonies. One of the drivers attended the Elijah Challenge meeting and his life was totally transformed. He testified that in his forty-two years as a Catholic he never accepted Jesus. But now he accepted Jesus and he wants to take the message of Jesus Christ to other people. He was so excited to carry the Gospel to the lost.
Another brother named Mathias K. worked in the Life Insurance Corporation of India. He had such fear in his life that he never even wanted to go and do anything in the dark. He had a lot of fear of the devil spirit. The Training has now strengthened him to cast out demons and to proclaim the gospel. Praise the Lord.
Our Shalom ministry evangelists and pastors are very effective and fruitful for the last two years. They have attended almost all the Training events in Bhawanipatna and even in other places.
Please pray for our next program on 31 July & 1st August in Chatrapur, Ganjam District. Thank you so much for your cooperation in God's work in the needy land of Orissa."
