| ROBERT: Another morning, Robert A., John, Nancye and I went to a village and stopped on the road at the home of Christian leaders. This family owns a large tract of land with a nice little house and are building a larger brick house nearby. They have a large well about 25 feet in diameter. The water ten or fifteen feet down was clear with small fish swimming around. We walked to the village, past the Hindu temple. Our interpreter said once they were preaching in front of the temple and a man asked them to move, but now the man is a Christian. |

many years ago. He is 75 years old and was a Christian under British rule (before 1950). He remembers when
there was a church in that village.
The house where he lives with his wife has a long spacious room in front under a sloping roof. The plaster walls
are painted blue and the orange baked clay roofing tiles laying on poles make up the ceiling.
Village children and women attended the meeting. It appeared that the men there were relatives and believers.
Robert A. held a firm grip on their attention with his imitation of our airplane with outstretched arms and loud
noises. He told a simple story beginning with God creating Adam and Eve and how they fell (using Nancye and
me as the illustration). He went on with the plan of Jesus’ birth, death and resurrection.

about five years old, who had a
cast on his leg from a motorbike
running over him. The leg had
been swelled very big and his
mother asked a Christian to pray
for him. The swelling had
immediately gone down, she told
us. She said he kept saying,
“Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.” In our
meeting, the little boy was saved,
then his mother came to the Lord
and then dedicated her son to the
work of the Lord.
I was impressed by the gentle
kindness of the older couple
whose house we met in.

tears of joy.
As I was praying with my eyes closed, I saw the map of India. Drops of red sprinkled the country, then
waves of red blood started to roll over it until the whole country was red with the Blood of Jesus. I
believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ will be preached in all areas of India and multitudes will come into
the Kingdom of the God. Then I saw an unfamiliar digging tool digging a hole and then a large seed
was placed in the hole. IMMEDIATELY a plant sprang up from the seed! This indicates that the time
between when the seed is planted and when the harvest is ready is very short. In other words, many
people in India, who hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the first time, will immediately receive it and
be born again into the Kingdom of God.
