One Day GGCN-India Seminar Report - by Pastor Paul Radha Krishnan
|
Shalom!
Thanks for your valuable prayers.
By God's grace and by the prayer of many Godly people,the Telengana state one day seminar was successfully completed at Centenary Baptist Church, Secunderabad, Hyderabad, Telangana state on 27th February.
The total number of on-spot registered pastors from various parts of the state to this seminar were 301,with an additional more than 50 volunteers involved on that day. The local baptist church team led the songs, praise and worship. Pastor Paul Radha Krishnan, Rev. Nathaniel Logaraj, Rev. Prakash Nayak from Odisha, and Rev. Zomiing from Mizoram
shared the word of God and handled the teaching sessions.
We distributed Tokyo declaration,and Discipleship survey in Telugu language and more than 250 pastors returned back the signed copies to the local co-
ordinator.
The main topics covered:
- Introduction to GGCN, GGCN-India, and GGnetwork
- Discipleship
- India mission challenges
- Generosity
- Great commission reference to Indian context.
Most of the pastors literally wept and witnessed after the meeting.
We taught them out of our own experience in Indian context to be a witnessing disciple to meet the unreached/unengaged people groups and not to look after for any materialistic blessings from anybody.
It's a great beginning to GGCN-India...The next state seminar will be held in Odisha state followed by Tamilnadu and Karnataka.
The total expenses of the meeting were met by the local GGCN team including a gift bag to all participants"

From the Global Coordinating Team |
We are encouraged to bring you this report of GGCN activities in India. Please keep these brothers and sisters in your prayers as the church in India continues to face much persecution.
We are also praying that the example of GGCN ministry in India might be an inspiration for others around the world to be part of a GGCN grassroots movement. If this speaks to you, please let us know at [email protected].
Finally, the GCnetwork mobile app should be available in March, 2015. We continue to look forward to making this exciting tool available to many networks, associations, and organizations as well as individuals, wherever you are located around the world. Check out GCnetwork further and investigate with us and many others how we can use this to enhance our secure communications as we partner together.
