Disappointment: Our first stop on the tour from Ambala, about 3 hours drive by car, was Karnal, where a few youth came for the meeting. The pastor who promised to arrange the meeting did not inform the youth, as his demands for money were not met satisfactorily! It was so sad to see how they missed the good opportunity to hear the Word of God due to the mischief of one pastor. Though we had promised to help in arranging the lunch ,etc, he was not convinced. I shared a short message for about half an hour and moved on to the next place called Jind.

It is so depressing to know that the pastors demand money to arrange meetings!! Instead of extending hosptiality to the visiting preacher , they fleece him. A lot of money was spent for travelling and othe arrangements as nobody contributed anything! God's Word is not honoured and so no blessings.

Jind; Baby Dedication: We reached Jind by evening on 17th Oct. Pastor David Samuel welcomed us and offered rooms to stay overnight. In the evening we went to a place where a six-day old baby was to be dedicated. There was no electricity in that area (it is the same everywhere- no power!). we used the car headlights to focus on the meeting place in the open air. After sometime when the power came on, we started the meeting and I shared the gospel. After the message, the baby was brought and given into my arms to dedicate. The father was a hawker who sells vegetables. they come from Hindu background and newly converted.

The cooking was done in the open air and we were given small roti and boiled potatoes for dinner. This is the food I had to endure all the days in Haryana and Delhi.

Demons cast out: On 18th Oct, meeting was held for pastors and believers at the Church hall in Jind. I had the privilege to share about the need for and the importance of making disciples. There were several ladies who came forward for prayer. Some of them were possessed with demons. They were all dancing and some were rolling on the ground. I had to rebuke one lady as she was not allowing us to pray. She blurted out in Hindi,(though I was speaking in English! Demons understand English!) saying she was also God's child and why was I telling her to leave!? Then, we prayed casting out the demon and she became quiet. Hallelujah!
