Outreach Report – India

India Directors, Elsie and Danny, recently held three seminars in southwest India. Elsie said: "The hearts of the pastors were as fertile as the lands. They eagerly received the Word. Many, many were set free from the bondages of sickness, fear, and shame. Some meetings extended well beyond lunchtime, but none of them wanted to leave, as Derek’s teaching on The Divine Exchange opened the eyes of their minds and brought a transformation as they listened. As we had opened the meetings to pastors’ wives as well, for the first time in their lives a few of them had the opportunity to attend a seminar of this kind and they were hugely blessed. God has also opened a door to the impenetrable state of Arunachal Pradesh (NE India), through these meetings. All glory be to Him!"‍

‍‍Testimony – India

"I was sick and felt unable to attend the pastors’ seminar. I believe it was a demonic hindrance. But at 10 a.m. I suddenly got up and decided I would go. I came, and the Lord ministered to me through every aspect of The Divine Exchange which Elsie taught on. I have suffered deep wounds from the shame that has been inflicted on me. These are things I cannot speak about or share openly. But today the Lord ministered to me through the truth – Jesus bore my shame that I might share His glory. It comforted me so much and broke off that huge burden I was carrying. Thank you for coming all the way to Bidar and bringing us this teaching." – A pastor's wife
