All these initiatives involved times of prayer , meaningful consultations and thoughtful planning sessions . We could not have travelled thus far without His enabling grace and also your involvement and consistent support . The Road Ahead The newly launched programme , ' Bless North in South ' , which aims to reach the migrant population is slowly taking shape . We believe that the end-time revival will engulf every Bible believing Christian , whether he is a full-time worker or a lay man . Keeping this in mind , we prayerfully launched the ' Tent- Makers ' Wing ' in the Mission . Under this programme we encourage young budding professionals to step into challenging places and be witnesses for Christ .
becoming tech-savy and our dependence on technology is increasing day by day . Furthermore , in spite of our encouraging economy , suicide rate is sky-rocketing , which clearly brings out the desperate need in every human life - The need for God and purpose in life .
The Church in India has a larger responsibility to witness to the community that it is Jesus who can give meaning to our lives . It is high time that the Church in India come together as a body and remind herself of her responsibilities .
If every Christian would be revived , then Soulwinning would become their Passion ;
If every Church would be revived , then
Evangelism would become their Priority . It is for this , we dream ; It is for this , we pray ; It is for this , we formulate strategies & It is for this , we labour and proceed .
Blessing Youth Mission , as an instrument of God , has this calling imbibed within her soul . It is a ' Voice ' in the Church of God . With a sound Biblical footing , we are called to lead the Church out of its bondage to where God wants it to be . We are not just ' another mission agency .' We are called to revive the Church with the Word of God so that the world would be reached with the Gospel of Christ !
Under Bless Bharat , we have achieved almost 60 % of the targets in the first phase . Praise God ! We have a lot more to do . We are planning a programme called as the ' Own Your State ' through which we want to challenge Christians in every State in India to bless their own State . Elders from our Mission fields are undergoing training so that , in the days to come , they will be able to take up the responsibility of the congregations that we have formed over the years .
Also , we are moving towards an interdenominational and inter-missional effort to bless each State in India . We are planning for a ' State Strategic Plan ( SSP )' aiming for a comprehensive ecumenical strategy to bless our Nation . In many aspects we believe the promise of God in Haggai 2:9 is being realized now ;' The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former , says the Lord of hosts .'
Mission work , done fifty years back was quiet different from what it is today . And it will be different in the coming years . We find more and more young people
Let us expect great things from the Lord and let us attempt great things for the Lord .. Maranatha !
