I wanted to share this with you my friend for I know you care. And so should all children of God as well as every humanitarian. However, as I was typing this out with a heavy heart the Lord ministered to me through His very Word. In John 12:24 Jesus says: “ I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.”

Persecution has led to great harvests in countries like communist China as well as many Moslem nations. The same Lord of the Harvest Jesus shall bring forth a great harvest of souls in our country India.

I and my country India, we shall serve Jesus.
