Vishwa Vani Samarpan - August 2021 | English Letter from the Executive Director To those who toil for the Great Commission...

Greetings to the ministry patrons in the name of Jesus who is mighty to save our souls. Exalt God and Earn Eternal Joy: We read in Lamentations 3:25 “The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him”. During the past few months, we were able to relish the favour of our Lord's goodness in our lives. As we read in Psalm 116:7 & 8, “Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. For you, LORD, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling”. We also read in Psalm 86:13 “For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths, from the realm of the dead.” The Psalmist emphasises in Psalm 103 verses 1 to 5 to bless the Lord. Yes, when we praise the Lord, we glorify Him (Ps. 50:14,15,23). We will earn new life, eternal happiness and life without death and destruction (Ps. 16:10-11). Earn Wisdom and Knowledge: The decree and teaching of the father help us to live a fruitful life. Likewise the wisdom and the knowledge that we get from God enables us to discern and choose what is right. If we could accept with sincerity and without any reservations then we could earn 'Eternal Life' that is stated in Proverbs 4:4-13 at the end of life! As Proverbs 6:6-8, says, an active ant earns the grains when it is available and stores it for the future. This tiny ant is an example for us to actively involve ourselves in harvesting of souls. Earn for Yourself in Heaven: Generally, the efforts a man puts to earn for the 'worldly life' are more compared to the importance that is given for the 'divine life'. People do not give much importance to eternal life when they are in this earth. King Solomon says in Ecclesiastes 2:7-11 that all that he has earned has given him emptiness. The Holy Bible takes efforts for eternal things say Pro. 11:30; Luke 12:33. 1. Living Soul: We read in Genesis 2:7 “Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” The 'Being' refers to the life in a man. The souls of men are precious. It is the will of God that not one soul must perish (1 Timothy 2:4). Vishwa Vani Samarpan - August 2021 | English 2. Sinning Soul: The one who sins dies (Ezek. 18:4,20). Despite this, Verse 27 emphasises that when a person repents he would save his life. But in Job 33:28-30 we read that, “God has delivered me from going down to the pit, and I shall live to enjoy the light of life.” And He does this again and again in a person's life. If our soul is taken away tonight then who would get what has been prepared? (Lk. 12:16-20). Let us think! 3. Redeemed Soul: My brothers and sisters, if one of you drift away from the truth and someone would bring that person back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins (Jas 5:19,20). As, it is said: Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever (Daniel 12:3). Let us shine as the light of the skies and as many stars forever and ever! 4. Soul that has Eternal Purpose: But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh (Jude 20-25). Then your portion in heaven will be great! Amen. Vishwa Vani's strategy on earning souls: Our desire and pursuit is to reach out to one lakh Indian villages through the gospel. We share the gospel in the local language of the people who haven't heard about the love of Jesus even once through the native workers of the villages. Then we establish churches. It is our goal to complete all these works through sacrificial donation of India believers. Thus, we identify the villages through field survey. We select the workers through Ezra camps. After completing the in-campus training, we send them with prayer to reach out to 5 villages. We meet the people often and as a result the people who are interested to taste the love of Jesus are led to the Bible Study Group. Those who then confess of their new faith in Christ gather as worship group every Sunday. They are taught the Word through L.E.G. Centres. As a result they are capable to share the gospel and thereby become the Disciples of Christ. When the number of believers attending the worship increases, 'A Church Building' is constructed and dedicated and the name of God is glorified. The Role of Ministry Partners to Earn Souls: According to April 1, 2021 the ministry is carried out in 29 states / Union Territories in India. Of the 187 districts we are working, we are in 9053 Vishwa Vani Samarpan - August 2021 | English village with 4177 full time workers (1877 families, 423 youth and women who have lost their husband when they were in ministry). The Holy Spirit's leading the ministry to open 7146 Bible Study Groups, 3033 Worship Groups and 11455 new believers who are getting ready to confess their new faith. During the past three months alone 1170 new believers have confessed their new faith in Christ and churches are constructed at 147 more fields. May the name of God be glorified! 1. You can pray daily for this work. And, also, can gather once in a week as a group of minimum three members and pray with burden on receiving the prayer points from us. 2. You can share the vision of Vishwa Vani with the believers and can be a voluntary representative to reach the goal. 3. You can get a savings box and save a minimum of Rs. 10/- daily and could donate once in 3 months or 6 months and support the ministry. 4. You can support the missionary work that is held at the villages that has not heard the gospel of Jesus even once by donating Rs. 3000/- every month as a family, prayer group or church. 5. You can come forward to construct a church at the place where there is a need for a church. We are welcoming special donations to purchase land for the construction of churches. When your prayer and involvement in harvesting of souls increase, the numbers of people who are saved would also increase. There will be great joy in heaven and on earth. Come forward to be involved in the gospel work with zeal. Praising and Prayer notes to the Ministry Partners: The Central and South Tamil Nadu Finance & Development office has been launched at Madurai on 01.07.2021. There are 10 districts in South and Central Tamil Nadu that will take care of the missions of 10 states of India. Praise the Lord. Rs. 18 lakh was given to support the 10 families of missionaries who passed away during the first quarter of this financial year because of the pandemic and other sickness. Rs. 7 lakh was the expenditure towards the treatment of the workers who were sick of covid-19 or other diseases. Kindly pray that God will continue to lead these families with good health. The finance, administrative and property committees gathered virtually on 02.07.2021. Crucial decisions were taken for the growth and finance of the ministry. We need your prayers and involvement for the growth of the ministry.

Vishwa Vani Samarpan - August 2021 | English In the course from July 3rd to 6th I was able to meet the ministry partners from Bodi, Periakulam, Madurai, Nagercoil, Tuticorin, Kovilpatti, Sattur and Trichy. And I was able to comfort them for their loss, encourage the workers and their families, meet the representatives and pray for them, strengthen the finance and administrative works and look at the land that was donated by our ministry partner in Trichy. The 'Board and Annual General Body Meeting' was held virtually on 09.07.2021. We praise God for the new administrative committee members. We pray that God would give His knowledge and power and will lead the ministry to bless 1 lakh villages. A building was donated sacrificially in Velachery-Chennai by our well- wisher. The preparatory works to renovate the building was started on 10th July. Kindly pray sincerely that it would be a great blessing for the ministry. May the Lord richly bless this family. On 10th July, that is the 20th Anniversary of our beloved ministry partner and representative (Late) Mr. Jeremiah from Madurai, his family members have donated the dry grains and essentials for 100 families in the fields of . May the Lord richly bless Mrs. Saradha Jeremiah, her children and her grandchildren! Thanks for Praying for Us: The Lord enabled us to observe the month of July as the month of prayer. We bring greetings to all the Indian believers who had joined the chain of prayer from 4 am to 10 pm. We witnessed the harvest in fields because of your tears. A Loving Request: Due to the prevalent condition, we are unable to meet most of you in person and receive the contribution. If you have the contributions for the previous months, kindly give it to our representative or the worker who would be approaching you and get the receipt for the same. Your support will substantiate for the ministry plans that we are going to reach during this financial year. We need your prayers for the 30 workers who are under training in Odisha and the 50 Ezras who are waiting to be trained at the training centres in North India.

Vishwa Vani Samarpan - August 2021 | English Special Feature written by Emil Annan for Vishwa Vani Samarpan for Nov. 2004 issue Whose Responsibility is EARNING SOULS?

Earning – Earning the souls is whose responsibility? There are three answers to this question in this essay. EARNING SOULS is the responsibility of all those who have tasted Christ! Psalm 116:12, 13 says, "How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord." The vessel of salvation is the vessel, which is full of gratitude to the Lord who has done so much of good. He forgives our sins, calls the sinner righteous to repay the debt for this goodness is saving souls! The happiness of salvation and the hope of eternity should be confessed with our mouth with great gratitude! All those who have experienced the salvation must proclaim with praise that no one can save except the Lord Jesus Christ. When the order was passed not to talk about or preach the name of Christ, the prompt answer was "We can't keep quiet about what we have seen and heard". All those who have experienced Christ in their individual lives will always be in the forefront of saving souls! Through people, who follow Christ, the followers of Christ must multiply. If it is not so, they do not follow Christ! An ordinary man who has never studied in a Bible College but was a carpenter by profession met a Jew in the railway station and asked him, "Sir, are you a Jew?" The Jew said "yes".

Vishwa Vani Samarpan - August 2021 | English "I was longingly praying for a long time that I must give a Bible to a Jew someday" – He asked "Will you accept this Word of God from me?" The Jew said, "I will" That Jew who was a learned and was in a high esteem started reading the Word of God. His heart changed and he became a fulltime worker. He was imprisoned for 14 years for the sake of the Gospel. Through him thousands of souls were saved. His name was Richard Wurmbrand! My beloved brother and sister, who read this article, a tiny tract, or a New Testament, which you can give to others, may bring a revolutionary change in the heart of the one, who receives it! If you are a believer, that is your bound duty. If you have done that, there is happiness; if not woe unto you! EARNING SOULS is the responsibility of every Churches: The Church of Antioch fasted and prayed and laid their hands on Barnabas and Paul and blessed them and dedicated them to the Lord's work. As a result of this the gospel spread from Jerusalem to Illyricum, which is now called Yugoslavia. This is known to us from the Epistle of Romans 15:19. The congregation in the church of Antioch never expected that so many churches would be formed through St. Paul's ministry whom they had sent. They obeyed the voice of God, sent two workers and multitude of souls was raised up in Asia and Europe! Heaven rejoiced about it. In 2 Cor. 8th Chapter St. Paul praises the Church of Macedonia. The reason for this is a lot of money, which they had sent, had been dedicated to the ministry of earning souls! The church which involves in soul-winning ministry is a blessed church. Such churches will be blessed by the Lord abundantly. Oh the church of Philadelphia "You had little strength, still you never denied me; you proclaimed me; I've placed before you an open door that no one can shut. Wherever you go you will be

Vishwa Vani Samarpan - August 2021 | English victorious. A great welcome awaits you in heaven. This is the information given in the 3rd chapter of Revelation. The devil has blinded the eyes of men to Jesus and eternal life. To open their eyes the Lord Jesus has called me so says St. Paul in Acts 26:18. To open the eyes of men so that they can see Calvary, you must work, help and enthusiastically serve to save souls. EARNING SOULS is the responsibility of every Full-time Worker: The nets must be cast in the right places There should be a great catch of fishes! The goal of our labour should be fulfilled and Heaven must rejoice on account of it! There should be rejoicing in heaven on account of one sinner who turns to the Lord. The little efforts, which are done with the whole of the heart by the worker, will bring miraculous results. The weak words from his mouth will bring great results! Neither the degrees nor the studies nor the post but the souls, which are saved by the worker, will bring great rejoicing in heaven. In the arena of the world whatever be the value of the fulltime worker or whatever name or fame he has earned if there are no souls earned it means his fame has not reached heaven. The Lord Jesus said, "If anyone ministers unto me, Lord the Father will honour him". That ministry is the ministry of souls! If a fulltime worker is all the time running to administer to meetings, seminars, conference, committees, - differences of opinion, quarrels, and arguments become the everyday work, and there is no time to pray or to read the Word of God. There is no time to give individual counseling. The only goal of the devil is not to allow the believers to become fulltime workers but the saving of soul's ministry may be stopped! The call was given to pray to preach of God in season and out of

Vishwa Vani Samarpan - August 2021 | English Must I go an empty handed Must I meet Saviour so! - Rev. Emmanuel Gnanaraj, Director – Prayer Network

“Must I go, and empty-handed?” Must I meet my Savior so? Not one soul with which to greet Him, Must I empty-handed go? The story behind the song, “Must I go, and empty-handed” makes us to think even now. In the year 1886, Charles Caroll Luther, a pastor in Baptist church wrote this song when he started his ministry. And do you know what made him write this song? Luther heard Rev. A.G.Upham tell the testimony of a young man who accepted Christ Jesus on his death bed. A month away from his death, he thanked the Lord for giving salvation free of cost at his rundown state. He was anxious that he did not have the opportunity to share this with others. Even though I am not afraid of death, as Jesus has saved me. But he was sad that he had to meet the Lord empty handed. There are few important things that we need to reflect about. As we see people living around us with many thoughts. We need to understand, what is the purpose of our life? For whom do we live? Emil Annan wrote about four salient features of the song for 'For whom do you live'. a) Some people who live for flesh, b) some people who live for the world, c) some people who live for self-pride and d) some people who live for Jesus. Among these people, the first three are treading in the wrong course of life. These people do not know the purpose of God and have lost their direction. They must be redeemed and saved. The question then arises is: What path does one take? Let us look into the salient briefly: A. People who live for flesh: These archetypes are those individuals who spend their time and money for it alone. They love enjoyment and have a very low aim throughout their life. Their life is full of sin and curse. These souls must be saved. B. People who live for the world: Those who do not have material, do not belong to this world. Those Vishwa Vani Samarpan - August 2021 | English who do not have compassion, do not belong to that world. We need money to live in this world. We read in 1 Timothy 6:8 “But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.” Jesus quoted at the Sermon on the Mount: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? But there are people who live to save money. Their breath will cry for property. But their life will be dry without any happiness; they will be put down with trouble. 1 Timothy 6:10 says for the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. This is the life without being watered. Those who travel in this direction must be saved. C. People who live for self-pride: We see people who live with pride. They need authority, position and they set their life so that others would respect them. Though they might not have things for their basic sustenance, but they would dress aesthetically. Though their wife and children would not have anything, they would adorn themselves. They would even get a debt for that. They are lost in their pride. Some live for their doctrines and predispositions. Despite they may even encounter misfortune and trouble, they would still cling to it. They are neither liberal minded nor would have a receptive heart. They would see loss and failure. Those who travel in this direction must be redeemed. D. Those who live for Jesus: These people do not live for themselves but for Jesus who has saved them. They have crucified themselves and their desires on the cross (Gal 5:24). They are like broken breads ad act as the salt that is dissolved in water. They live for the Lord saying you must increase and I must decrease (Jn 3:30). They hate sin (Heb 12:4). They are willing to live a holy life even to the point where their blood is shed. Though they have fallen, they will cry and repent. They love the Lord dearly. They live for others. They have the heart that will know the needs of others. They have the heart of Paul as in 2 Cor. 11:29 Who is weak, and I do not feel weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not inwardly burn? They desire to stop the people who live in sin and work for it. They intercede for the people who are lost. They shed tears and pray. They
