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 !
