Dr D.W. Jesudass who was the Principal of Gurukul - a leading Bible College in Chennai, launched ‘Risen Jesus Ministry’ with the vision to reach out to the unreached people of India. I was invited to deliver a message at their anniversary meeting held at Bishop Monickam Hall on the 25th of February. I spoke on the subject "Incentives for Christian Mission" based on the book of Acts and chapter one. It was a time of re-motivation for Christians to get involved in what’s on the Lords’ heart. Praise God for such movements that are emerging to build the Kingdom of God.

Dr Akbar Haqq - one of the associate evangelists of Billy Graham Evangelistic Association starter the ‘Akbar Haqq All India Institute on Evangelism’ 50 years back to help equip those who desire to communicate Christ effectively. Now, his son Rev Dr Emmanuel Haqq continues fulfilling the same vision. The Institute is sponsored by Dwight Chapel USA where Dr Emanuel Haqq is the senior pastor. The Institute is held in Kodaikanal - a beautiful hill station of Tamil Nadu each year.

I have been invited along with Dr Manasseh to be resource persons for the past five years. In February 2012 about 60 participants attended the institute to celebrate the 50th year. It was a time of teaching and learning. I lead 6 sessions on practical evangelism. It is a joy to see the ripple effect of such seminars spreading all across the nation.

We thank you with all our hearts for your friendship and prayers. May God bless you.
