Thursday night we attended a Gospel meeting in a village in Khammam. We had taken a break for a few hours after the pastor conference and now went to visit a pastor in the Nissi Faith community. The local church had organized a Gospel meeting in the middle of the village. The local church had several members, but the majority of the villagers were Hindu. The meeting was to be held in a courtyard area that had a small wall around it. We were told that the non-Christians from the village would come out and listen, but would not come into the meeting.
I wish I could adequately describe the scene. Even the pictures do not do justice. Imagine standing before a crowd of believers who are hungry to hear God's words and truths. Then imagine looking around you and seeing the faces of so many that are lost, but are drawn to hear the truth. I told the story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal. The children in the group answered questions. The adults listened as I talked of the power of the one True God and His son Jesus Christ. How no other God could answer the calls of his people like Jehovah. And as an extra stamp from God, there was one part of the story I had never thought of in this context. Elijah calls for the sacrifice of a bull. God does call for the hearts of men and women!
