NEWS LETTER
Official News Letter of the India Field Church of the Nazarene Issue-1 Jan-Apr 2018
Resurrection Brings Restoration
Life with Christ is an everyday miracle. As much the sense of inadequacy hoovers over one’s head as a Church leader so much so does the uncertainty of life. But thank God that he is in control of our lives beyond our imagination. All of us have faced the storms of uncertainties of life that occur without even any forecast. What a wonderful Lord we serve! He has control over those all the time and he helps us overcome them by his very presence.
We as a family felt that big stormy blow of uncertainty in December 2017. As I returned from my visit to Kerala (work in a new State), I was in sever physical trouble. We realized how fatal it was upon consulting the physician and after undergoing some tests. It was discovered that I had a hemorrhage in the left side of my brain. Doctors suggested immediate surgery and within couple of hours I had to undergo surgery.
This was quite shocking to Sarah. She was devastated and had to stand firm facing the uncertainties of life. But she was confident that the Lord will bring me out of this surgery successfully and restore me back to Himself.
Church in India field, Eurasia region and Globally started praying for me. The surgery was a great success.
The Resurrected Lord brought miraculous Restoration in our lives by providing us assurance of His very Presence, His Peace, His Provision and His mission of Proclamation of Good News for us.
