Nine of our readers from four countries responded to the invitation to join Steve Stewart and myself on a Journey of Compassion to India. As you will read below, their lives were greatly impacted! I highly recommend you prayerfully consider doing a Journey of Compassion with Steve. He does about six of these a year. It is a wonderful opportunity to minister to the truly needy, while personally increasing in this healing anointing.

Below are some amazing stories! My personal story is in my India blogs. Six days after returning to the U.S. I did a CWG seminar and a healing activation in the evening using Steve's 7 Step Healing Model (Blog here). At least eight people received healing as they were prayed for by various volunteers from the evening service. Praise God!

One had a swollen, painful foot released from pain. Another had a frozen shoulder healed (as we prayed 4-5 times for it). For the first time in five years she was able to feel sensation in her finger tips!

Overview from Pastor Vijay Christian: Dinesh heads our children's department, children's camps and children's clubs. Very anointed Sunday school teacher, Bible teacher, rhythm guitarist, vocalist of A2J band and choreographer.

Overview from Pastor Vijay Christian: Vinay, our worship pastor, takes care of all the village churches and every work in the 21 villages we are currently ministering in. He heads up all our medical camps as well as our sewing school. Vinay is an anointed worship leader, teacher and bass guitarist of our A2J band.

This prophetic declaration was given by Reinhard Bonnke in early Feburary of 2013. This is the same German evangelist who declared “All Africa Shall Be Saved,” and witnessed more than 55 million African souls make a decision to renounce Islam, witchcraft and other false gods—and  commit to follow Jesus Christ—in just a nine-year period. 

Overview from Pastor Vijay Christian: Samson is an anointed and passionate evangelist, head of our missions, takes care of monthly village evangelisms (preaching gospel in 4 to 6 villages), heads boot camp to remote tribal villages. He is our office accountant and main vocalist of our A2J band.

Our last three days - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday - were the final days of clinics in three different Indian villages. I had my high point of the journey during this time.

It is Sunday and the 36 of us have been divided into several smaller groups. Each group went to two churches to lead various parts of the services. Some gave testimonies, some demonstrated the 5-step healing model we have been using, and some preached.

Well, today is our second clinic, and we have gone to a city larger than the small village of 40 homes that we went to yesterday. Again we began the day with a circle of 36 people worshipping Jesus in the midst of the city. We are from six nations (U.S., Canada, Australia, England, China and India), and through our worship, we are lifting high the name of Jesus and His kingdom and His power over all other powers in this city. We are opening a portal in the heavenlies directly above us for His grace to fall and flow through us this day as we minster Jesus to a Hindu people.

Jesus performed healing, and people received the Gospel. I have always hungered to see this happen and today, I not only saw it, I participated with 35 others in DOING it. Every member of our team saw God move in miraculous ways through them!

9:00 in the morning we walked into a quiet village in India with 200 houses, three Hindu temples and no functioning Christian church.
