Beware of Charging Elephants

(Pastor tells of dangers while visiting area villages)
Pastor S grew up among the tea plantations in the jungles of South India. He and his family were laborers on this tea plantation for many generations. Tea plantation workers are very poor and often go without education and proper medical care. As a child, Pastor S grew up badly affected by sickness and was not able to enjoy a normal childhood. The family constantly prayed to their idols, but he only became worse. Finally at the age of 21, Pastor S was invited to a church meeting and heard the Gospel message. Touched by the Word of God, he eagerly trusted the Lord for his salvation and over time received God’s grace to be healed of his afflictions. Pastor S began to be discipled in a local church, growing in his love for Jesus and love for lost souls. As God was equipping Pastor S, he began to assist his pastor, and in 1987 he surrendered his life to full-time ministry. Now Pastor S has planted a church and has partnered with Serve India ministries to plant 5 more churches in area villages. The area where Pastor S ministers is deep jungle where there are many dangers among the trails, including wild elephants that have been known to kill those who cross their path. Pray for Pastor S and the other 19 pastors who work with him as they each have a goal to plant 5 churches in the unreached villages around them. Imagine that in 5 years, there will be 100 new churches in this unreached district, preaching the Gospel and making disciples! Pray for the safety of these pastors that as they walk along the jungle trail, they will always return home to their families. How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!
