Multiplication in India
In the past couple of years, the Dynamic Women in Missions ministry
has teamed up with the Every Community for Christ teams in train-
ing and leading women in evangelism and church planting around
the world.
Several months ago, a team of female leaders journeyed to
India to train women there. The team was asked to teach the
church members how to share the Gospel with unbelievers; how-
ever, they only had one hour to present the training.
After opening with prayer, one young woman asked if she could share
her testimony. Knowing time was limited, Pat replied, “Yes, if you can make your testimony
short and concise.” Mariyal stood up and gave a beautiful 15-second testimony. Pat was amazed and told her,
“That was a beautiful testimony! Who taught you to do that?” Mariyal pointed to her pastor’s wife, Jothi, who
had been trained previously by the team and returned home to teach the other women in her church. What a
blessing to see that transference of knowledge to others!
Miracle in an Asian Town
In one small town in Asia, a missionary was arrested for evangelizing the locals. Since it’s illegal to share
the Gospel, a local police officer arrested him for sharing about Jesus Christ. The policeman took him to a
jail and proceeded to berate and mock him for his faith; he even threatened to execute him for this crime.
The missionary continued to pray during the entire harassment from the police and remained calm, even
though his life was threatened. He offered the officer a chance to accept Jesus into his heart. The police-
man declined but decided to wait until the next day to follow through with the execution. He started on
his way home, leaving the imprisoned missionary in his cell for his final night.
The locals of the town witnessed a supernatural event occur as the policeman was walking
down the road. A tree branch suddenly broke off and struck the officer dead in the street.
According to the witnesses, there was no wind and nothing that would logically explain
the branch breaking off the tree the way that it did. After the tree branch fell and killed
the man, the people ran back to the jail and released the missionary from his
cell. Many of them were brought to faith that same night after witnessing the
power of the Lord.
