After playing with the kids, Pastor Moses told me we were going to a birthday party. One of his church members had a daughter that had turned 3 and wanted Moses to come and pray a blessing. So off we went.
On the way there I got to experience and India traffic jam. Imagine something like this picture I took in the day time.
Only it's night, there are 3 times as many people, and a large bus is pusing through slowly like some kind of crazy video game. It was a little tense, but we made it there.
At the home, our plans changed a little. The mother of the birthday girl said that she wanted us to stay for the party, not just pray. And not just stay for the party, but give a gospel message because some of the extended family and guests were not Christian. So then Moses looks at me and says, "Ok, Bill. You'll give 1 hour gospel message." Now remember, this is with a translator so it's really about 30 minutes. The party was being held outside in the alley by their home. They had an amplifier and microphones setup and we had church. A good time of praise and worship, and then the message. Here's what it looks like when you come to a birthday and hear a message about the greatest birthday in the Bible, the birth of Jesus.
And then you here about the chance for rebirth that can only come through following Him. As we preached, others began to come and hear the truth of Jesus. People were coming to hear the truth. Here's a picture of Moses and I.
I show this picture because the man sitting with the speaker directly beside him is Hindu. Just outside of he picture are 2 other people. So for over an hour they were literally being blasted with the message of Jesus through praise, worship, message and prayer. It was truly a powerful time.
