I love serving God here in Arunachal. I feel like I’m growing a lot. My church over here held a youth camp for three days which seemed more like a seminar to me. The whole time I was reminded of the youth camps which we have at K Home. Through the camp I felt like the lord teach me so much about the people and culture over here.
One of the best ways I so easily connect with God is through children. Serving them makes me feel the presence of God so strongly. It’s one of the best things that I love to do. In every personality of these children I see the character of God. I’m so happy to see many of them joining the Saturday club which is one of the biggest ways by which we reach out to them.
This month there was a big festival called Dhurga Pooja. We went to many places nearby where this goddess Dhurga was worshiped and we spent time rebuking idols, and asking Jesus to establish his kingdom where ever the enemy was being worshiped. To the non-believers we were as if worshiping their gods but in our hearts we knew that Jesus will surely crush the enemy underneath our feet.
I also love visiting houses and praying for the locals. We also visit the non-believers asking them whether we can pray for them but sadly many of these people refuse our prayers so we walk away. Pray that God will open their houses to let us in so that we can pray for them, bless them, love on them and listen to their concerns. By doing these things they would see Jesus in us and receive Him.
While visiting one of the houses I met an old man who was in his mid-sixties. As he spoke of his early life I was so blessed and filled with excitement listening to him. When he was twenty, he built one of the first schools in this place along with some of his friends. Then he went around visiting houses to bring children to school. He also found teachers to teach in the school that he built. After doing all this he sat with the class one students and started his schooling with the little ones. Today many of the children, whom he sent to the school that he built, are now top political leaders. This old man went on to express his concern that his children are drifting away from Jesus and not living radical Christian lives. This reminded me of what Tom Tanner once said to me. He encouraged me saying that just as Elijah passed on a double portion to Elisha so should my generation go much further than the previous generation.
