In July we had goneto Pandharpur which is the religiousJerusalem of Hindus of Maharashtra. Thisyear ten thousand people had attendedthis religious festival. We had travelled thewhole day to go there and we were therefor a week. Please pray for the salvation ofmany people who have heard the goodnews as we had shared the gospel withthe pilgrims. The religious hunger of thesepeople is so great that they have beenwalking to this shrine for many days; somany were tired and some were killed inaccidents before they reached this placeon the way. I felt so sad to see the picturesof those who were killed on the road,going to eternal lake of fire on the way toa religious pilgrimage. In many places theevil one has kept them busy not to carefor their salvation.The Lord granted us safety on the roadsas we travelled on the very busy roads.We were able to distribute free of costtotally 623 New Testaments in variouslanguages. We visited four schools andhundreds of students heard the gospeland some received the New Testaments.In one school we had the experience asPaul and Silas had: they wanted to honorus in a Hindu religious way and it was verydifficult for us to restrain them from doingso. Please pray for the owner of the schoolthat he might turn to the Lord; he is a veryinfluential political man.Please pray for the Christians whohave turned to the Lord from Muslimbackground in Kashmir area in thenorthern part of India; they are very badlypersecuted for their faith in the Lord.I have been visiting schools and sharingthe Gospel through astronomy.
