For God so loved the world, that
He
gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish,
but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful
are the feet of them that preach the gospel..... (Romans 10:15)
The Ministry of Indian
Revival Gospel Ministries was born out of a vision given by God to a young man
from an obscure town in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India, who was met by
the Lord Jesus Christ when he was on the way to commit suicide. He is B. Samuel, hailing
from Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh. God has placed a burden on his heart to
evangelize the villages in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil
Nadu and to plant churches in those villages where there are no churches. Most
of the evangelical work in India is concentrated on towns and cities in India,
whereas the villages are relegated to the background. Evangelists and pastors
prefer urban areas to rural areas because in Indian villages, the villages lack
in
basic amenities of life for them. How does a preacher go to a village unless he is sent?
Beautiful are the feet of those preachers who preach the gospel in places not
reached by the gospel and in places where the people live in the darkness
without the light of the glorious gospel. Our vision is to raise up native
evangelists from amongst the people saved in these villages and to equip
them for the evangelical ministry. These native evangelists will reach the
thousands of villagers with the glorious gospel.
"We have lost the sacred art of spending time with God,
and nothing else can ever take its place. No repentance however
deep, no restitution however costly, no sorrow however complete,
can do away with the necessity for a daily time of sacred quiet,
alone with God." ( Keswick 1946 ) – Gordon M. Guinness
