Chennai Network - Friends of Engage India / BCSD

On the 25th July evening, 8 of us met at an upstairs room in Chennai. This was a seed meeting organised to bring friends together and ask them to support the ministry among Unreached tribes. I see the need for groups of supporters in every city in India and the world who can be the backbone for the Engage India /BCSD ministry. I made a presentation to the friends and supporters gathered there and the response i got was "wow, i did not know this. I want to be involved". Originally scheduled from 5:30 to 7:30pm including dinner, the meeting wound up at 10pm. At the end of the presentation there was much energy. We decided on some small steps to gather a momentum for the network in the city. I will report on this in September 2010. I see a great dream for our Engage India/ BCSD ministry in Jharkhand. What will be the bones and flesh of these networks in different cities, i do not know right now. But i believe a time is coming when this inevitable support structure will be built up and when ready and running will uphold the ministry like none other. We need people to pray, support and engage in the ministry among unreached tribes. This vision of the ministry "reach the unreached tribes" can take us from a small village in Jharkhand to the ends of the earth. And that is the limit. There is much at stake. The unreached tribes breaks the heart of the Lord and we have a mandate to fulfill. I want to thank those who came for the event and sacrificed much to be there. They are heroes to me because they trusted me, though we are small and insignificant. Praise God.
