High, Deep & Wide - Gospel is unheard!

All of India needs to hear the gospel!

This week has taken me to a Baramasia village in a remote region in Jharkhand where a family was being oppressed by evil spirits. Through their son-in-law who has found hope in Jesus Christ, this family found a new way. They invited the evangelist in the region to share the gospel to them. I was invited to visit the region and share the freedom in Jesus. I was shocked at the number of villages there that have not heard the gospel ever before. There is no Christian in the entire region. The Catholics have over the last 30 years established many mission centres in the region. But they have a very small number of believers. But no Christian! I like to call Protestants as Christians. I am a strategist and immediately my brain was running fast to find a way to spread the gospel in these villages. Looking at this critical situation I would have normally said, it broke my heart! But over the 10 years in ministry, this has become a pattern. As you expand the mission field you find hundreds of villages that have not heard the gospel. My reaction this time round was, “I should lay out a plan for evangelization”. The gospel has to reach these villages. It is tough, because it takes any where from 1 to 6 years to get the first group of believing believers. It takes a while for the gospel to break through in a virgin land. The gospel still stands as an unheard way. The Christian world has much to respond to the need in the much un-evangelized North India.
