Revival Fire at Zero Mile
Our recent ministry trip to Maharashtra in the western peninsular region of India was a time of great blessing and spiritual breakthrough. The central focus of this trip was a two-day pastors’ conference in Nagpur, but since it would not have been financially viable to travel such a long distance for just two days, we added several meetings in the preceding days. These meetings took us to Amravati, Chandrapur, Gadchiroli, Hingna, and Yavatmal. In every place, we gathered with around 100 to 120 pastors and leaders, who were ministered to powerfully—not only in their bodies but also in their spirits. In just six days, we were able to minister to over 1,000 pastors and leaders, witnessing healing, deliverance, and renewed strength in their lives.
The Nagpur Pastors’ Conference: A Mighty Move of God
The highlight of our trip was the two-day pastors’ conference in Nagpur, attended by well over 500 pastors and leaders each day. The theme of the conference was “Authority”, based on Derek Prince’s teaching “The Rod of God.” The sessions brought deep revelation and fresh understanding to the leaders about their position and authority in Christ.
On the second day, heavy rains swept through Nagpur, but not a single pastor from the first day stayed away. In fact, even more pastors came, filling every available space—so much so that many had to be seated on both sides of the stage. We sensed that God was preparing to do something extraordinary.
At the close of the second day’s teaching, we were led by the Holy Spirit to intercede for the nation. Without any prior planning, we began to declare revival and salvation over India, praying to the four corners of the nation. Only later did we realize the spiritual significance of that moment—we were praying just three kilometers from the Zero Mile of India, the geographical center point of the nation! As pastors from four different states joined in prayer and intercession, there was a mighty move of the Spirit—the place was literally shaken as God’s presence filled the atmosphere. The conference ended in great joy, with every leader rejoicing in their renewed understanding of their authority in Christ and their position in God’s Kingdom.
Challenges and Victories
The journey was far from easy. We traveled nearly 200 kilometers each day, often going straight from the car to the pulpit. There were moments of physical exhaustion and logistical challenges, but through it all, we saw God’s faithfulness and the power of His purpose.

One of the most difficult moments came on our way back to Nagpur, the day before the main conference. We found ourselves trapped in a massive blockade on the main highway—over 100,000 farmers were protesting, and traffic had come to a complete standstill. For more than four hours, we were stuck with no alternate route into the city. Just when we didn’t know what to do, God sent two pastors on motorbikes, who guided us through dust roads and forest trails for nearly two hours, leading us safely back into Nagpur. Truly, the enemy tried to hinder what God had planned—but thanks be to God, who always gives us victory in Christ!
A Time of Miracles and Breakthroughs
Many miracles happened both to us and to those who came to the conference - we could literally see God breaking through in every place we went to. One of the testimonies was interesting - a pastor at Yavatmal left home to come to the meeting, only to find he had no money - both in pocket or in the bank. What was in his bank account seemed to have been auto-debited leaving him with no money. He walked to a relative's house hoping to ask for some money but felt ashamed to do so. The Spirit of God was prompting him to travel to the conference, so he boarded the bus and when the conductor asked him to pay, he took out his mobile phone and tried a digital transaction - it worked! But his bank balance was still zero. Then he came to the conference and they had a 50 Rupees registration fee. Once again, he pulls out his phone and tries a digital transaction - it goes through! He opened his phone and showed us all, his bank balance was still zero. Praise the Lord!
