Revival Preachers ' Orientation Programme
Team 2: A eight member team from Hyderabad visited the remote areas of Odisha walking even for 9 kms through mountains and were much encouraged.
Revival Preachers ' Orientation Programme( RPOP) was organized in Sitheri Hills, Tamil Nadu from 10th to 11th of March 2018. There was an online registration process through which 135 were selected to participate. 60 % of the participants were young. They were challenged with the need of revival preaching today. In a time when false teachings are flooding Christendom, the need of the hour is Biblebased preaching and Bible-based living. Various subjects like ' Receiving Messages from God ', ' Principles of Interpretation ' and ' Delivery of the sermon ' were dealt with. There was also a practical session on ' Organising the Sermon ' and ' Presenting.' It was a great time of learning and fellowship. There was a special Holy Spirit session and an individual prayer session. The resource persons included Mr. A. Lionel, Dr. Jeyakumar, Mr. Needhidasan, Mr. Selvaraj, Mr. Jason and Mr. Suthakar. The programme was well coordinated by Mr. Raveendran and Mr. Arul. As a follow-up to the programme a ' Revival Organizing Team ' was formed. Many of the participants decided to organize prayer cells and revival meetings in their localities. Towards the end of the programme certificates were distributed to each of the participants. Let us pray that God should raise revival preachers who would preach the unadulterated Gospel of Christ. Amen!
