We arrived in Khammam district for our second pastor's conference. The room was packed standing room only with about 150 pastors from the local villages.
These pastors sacrifice all for their ministry. They are often cast out of their families, beaten, and presecuted. Still, they have heard the call of God and counted the cost. It is inspiring to see how they come with such purity in service.
The conference in Hyderabad focused on the 4 Deadly Questions and evangelism as well as encouragement. This conference focused on evangelism through storytelling. I was able to teach the pastors how to craft a story and give them a 12 story set that started with the creation of angels and completes with the death, burial, resurrection and ascension of our savior Jesus Christ. We concluded with the same salt covenant presentation from Hyderabad and received a similarly enthusiastic and prayerful response.
Overall, the conference was amazing. God was clearly moving. People were listening to how to share God's truth with those who do not know. After the conference, many of the pastors were excited because no one had ever trained them in how to present the Gospel. How humbling is that!? Two men from Kentucky being given the privilege of training 150 servants of God to go and reap a harvest!
This whole experience is amazingly humbling. I am not sure what I would have thought if I had any idea what God was going to do on this trip. I am sure the fear and attacks along the way were from a scared enemy.
