Fredrick shared with us some of the amazing things God is doing in India. The talking bibles are a way of evangelising in remote areas where literacy levels are low and the electricity supply is not reliable. God has provided money for these bibles (which cost £15 each) in amazing ways (sometimes through the unexpected arrival of visitors bringing ‘just enough’ money to purchase what is required – ‘where there is a vision, there is God’s provision’) and Fredrick shared stories of giving these out – for example, to a doughnut vendor who plays the Bible on his stall, giving all who come to buy the doughnuts opportunity to hear God’s word.
He reminded us all that God is mindful of us (Psalm 8:4), caring about each one of us individually. Ps 115:2 tells us that the Lord remembers us (is mindful of us) and will bless us. God’s goodness and mercy follow us (Ps 23:6). We need to be aware that God knows each one of us and cares about each one of us. He is able to use each one of us and His care for us is personal because He is interested in each one of us and has made us all unique.
Reeba encouraged us all by singing for us again, a song reminding us that God is both father and mother to us and His grace is sufficient for us.
We were privileged to pray with Fredrick and Reeba and very grateful to receive gifts of key rings for church members.
