Praise the Lord with me! We had a wonderful gathering with our people here in Patna. This is a new mission outreach for the Bihar BIC. The bulk of the work for this conference is in North Bihar. They began a mission outreach in the State Capital of Patna some two years ago. They are working with several different people groups and primarily with young adults.
We met in a rented hall within a Catholic Retreat Center. It was nice and gave ample space for the people to gather. On a regular work day, some 100 people gathered for this opportunity. Many had left the opportunity for work and other "normal" responsibilities to join with this time of worship and instruction.
We began at 10:30 a.m. and went to 1:30 p.m. with the service. Then we were treated to a very nice meal by the Retreat Center. I am now in an area where my own language of Hindi is the predominant language. I had a great time talking in Hindi at the beginning of the time for giving a message.
Three of us spoke and we also heard testimonies from two people from those working in Patna. We heard as well from two people who shared the strategy that is being used in these days to reach out to the 50,000 villages of Bihar. Of these, 45,000 are still unreached. They are working from the major cities of Bihar to press out into the rural areas.
Rejoice with us for the work that is being done at this time. Later this evening we will board our train for Delhi. God is good.
Blessings, Ken
