Dear Brother Stanley,

Brother Muthu (of Malaysia)’s visit greatly blessed all our churches he visited in Nepal, Bhutan and North Bengal. Due to political problems, we changed some plans, but later we found that is how God wanted to work–his plan, not ours. Here is the report of his wonderful work in the churches we visited:

2007 November 25 - Kolkatta ( according to Bro Muthu’s report), 5 people received the Holy Spirit and 9 were healed.

27 and 28 - Jaigon, N Bengal, near Bhutan border. In two services, the Holy Spirit filled 17 people and healed 9.

29 - Birpara, N Bengal. Eleven people received the Spirit, 2 were healed.

December 1 and 2 - In Ilam and at a refugee camp, both in Nepal, 28 people received the Holy Spirit and 10 were healed. The refugee camp church elder is independent. He’s in touch with me all the time by phone, asking me to visit his church. Thank you, Bro M uthu, because by you we had a chance to meet this brother.

December 4 - Sikkim. Twenty people received the Holy Spirit, 4 were healed.

December 6-8, Darjeeling, N Bengal. Thirty-one people received the Spirit. For the first time, we had prophecy and tongues and interpretation in our church, and it was all from small children.

December 7-11, Panighatta, N Bengal. Seventee people received the Spirit, three were healed.

This is the first time that all small Churches came into one unity.Thank you brother Stanley for inviting Bro Muthu and his wife. God has done wonderful work. We always looking forward to see his great revival.

Sincerely,
Sanjit Subba

Bro Muthu, evangelist, visited saints in Bhutan, was hosted by Scism Christian University graduate Pema.

They arrived unannounced, at the last minute, earlier than scheduled due to political clashes across the border in India, and the meeting could not be held in Bhutan due to government restrictions, but was held across the border in another location from where the political clashes took place.  Due to the last minute changes, attendance was lower than planned, but still four people were healed (including a cancer patient) and one person received the Holy Spirit.

Pray for religious freedom in Bhutan

Praise Report:

At youth camp in Orissa, India, some Hindu youth activists showed up and said Christians are giving money to Hindus to convert to Christianity (a typical and old accusation).  HY Paul, apostle to Orissa, reports:

‘The young people fasted and prayed earnestly.  Before the camp ended, the Hindu man who had tried to stop the camp came to Jesus Christ and was fervently worshiping the Lord.’

Prayer Request:

Sister Rekha from Orissa (who plans to come for ministerial training at Scism Christian Institute this session)’s mother is very ills.  Please pray for Rekha that she can come this session.  Through these people we train, the church can grow larger and stronger.

Please pray for people of Kerala, SW India.  Monsoon is heavy,low-lying areas are flooded, people can’t go to work and an epidemic of viral fever has spread such that people can’t walk, have giddiness or headaches–symptoms vary so much that the state government asked the central government to help them.  People are dying every day. Many people are afraid, hospitals are filled with thousands of patients and have insufficient medical staff.  Believers are also affected.

Please have the people pray for deliverance.
