Kallianpury at
the border of Uttar Pradesh and New Delhi

Joshua Gowda of The Elijah Challenge Training Centre in New
Delhi wrote:
"At
Kallianpury we had very successful Feeding Event. This slum
area is heavily populated in the middle of the slum. We squeezed
into a very small area to minister.
People
were sitting and standing on their rooftops and listened to
the Gospel and received Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour.
A new Church met the following Sunday with 78 people gathering
for the worship service. Pastor B. Lal was appointed as the
pastor."
Believers
trained under The Elijah Challenge ministered healing to the
infirm and the Lord performed miracles of healing through them.
The testimonies proved that our God is the only true God.

Mrs.
Pulvati works in a garment factory and suffered from back pain
for three years. The pain completely disappeared after a trained
believer laid hands on her.
Rambati
was not able to work or sleep because of a problem with the
left side of her shoulder. After the laying on of hands she
was healed and gave her testimony.
Puspa
was not able to speak since her neck operation. After an Elijah
Challenge-trained believer ministered to her she was healed
and could speak properly.

And
a new church is planted where there was not even one before
The
very next Sunday morning, seventy-eight new believers in
Christ Jesus gathered for the very first service of the new
fellowship being planted in Kallianpury.
Luke 10:9 "Heal
the sick who are there and tell them,
'The kingdom of God is near you.’"
