India (MNN) ― Punjab is the birthplace of the Sikh religion and the only state of India with a Sikh majority. Mawii Pudaite with Bibles For The World says it's also the home of a fledgling ministry.
Spiritual hunger is strong, as evidence by the response to one of the partner's work. "Already 12 fellowship groups have been established as the result of the 200,000 copies of the Gospel of John we provided for Pastor Masih of Punjab."
By "12 fellowships," Pudaite means new churches. That's remarkable growth since last fall. Encouraged by the progress, Pastor Masih is "asking for one million Gospels: 500,000 copies in Punjabi and 500,000 in Hindi languages.“
During a visit to India in October 2005, Dr. Ro Pudaite shared a strategy to distribute the Gospel of John into every home in Chandigarh, one sector at a time.
At least 1, 000 copies of the Gospel reach new homes in Chandigarh every day. Pudaite says, "In that Gospel, this offer is made: if anyone would like to read the entire New Testament, they can write for a free copy.'" And people are responding by the thousands.
The distributors say, “This job is not an easy job. It requires commitment and patience in times of exhaustion. But still, it is not because of salary or fame, but because of the Gospel.”
There are 66 sectors, each one
being home to over 5,000 households. Pudaite urges prayer support and financial help. “It costs 25-cents per copy to print and
deliver the Gospel into these homes," which opens doors for the
advance of Christ. Click here to help.
