We just finished our second week of prayer walking/hiking and ministry in Himachal Pradesh. We were able to spend time with three young men and their wives who are all beginning new works in this particular area. This was our third time to visit and pray here and God is doing wonderful things. 

Our team prayed over the region in several high places, asking God to bring breakthrough and to pour out His Spirit in this place. It is a powerful prayer when you know you are praying the will of God.

In addition to praying in the mountains, we were able to do many house visits and pray for the sick. One woman who had much body pain and had gone through 5 surgeries was completely pain free after we prayed.  The next day she asked us to do a house visit and pray for a man who had suffered a stroke.  As we prayed all pain and restriction was gone from his leg and circulation returned to his hand…he kept looking at it, opening and closing it with a big smile on his face. We also prayed for a woman who had a stroke and she was restored…she was doing full squats up and down to show us strength had returned to her leg.

We just finished our first week in a beautiful area of northern India. After weather delaying us and a necessary change in travel plans, we arrived very weary but excited to minister. We connected with one of the local pastors and held a one day conference for about 150 people, bringing God’s presence and watching Him move. We then spent the next 3 days prayer walking the mountains and visiting villages. We were told over and over that there were thousands of villages throughout these mountains with no Christian presence that they knew of.

Our pastor friend arranged a meeting in one village where they invited the locals to come. We had a powerful time of prayer as many Hindus were healed and set free from demonic spirits…even a 9 year old boy was gloriously set free.  It was a powerful witness for Christ as we presented the Gospel with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power. Next we were taken to a place where there were some Nepali laborers who lived in shanty tents alongside the mountain road.  Once again Jesus came to heal and deliver.  One woman in particular, who had hated Christians and opposed them was beautifully set free from evil spirits.

Dan will be leaving on Thursday evening, arriving in Delhi Saturday morning, the beginning of 3 exciting weeks of ministry and prayer walking in northern India. Gregg Ingallina, as well as Dan’s daughter, Jenni, will be joining him and Shema for weeks 2 and 3.

Pray with us that these weeks will be filled with the Presence of God everywhere we go, and that God would move in incredible ways through us. He loves to reveal Himself to those who seek Him. Prayer points are updated for the trip, as well as giving opportunities to still sow into this trip…we are almost there!

We will spend much of our time ministering to and with pastors, we will help jump start 3 church plants, prayer walking everywhere we go, and praying over everything that moves!

THANK YOU for your prayers, your love and your support. We are so thankful for God expanding the base…those who pray, those who send, and those who go. Our September trip is filling up, but we would love for you to consider joining us for two life changing weeks in northern India. Contact us for details.

We sat in a classroom that had become the home for Ajit, Jayanti and their two sons.  Ajit spoke softly, sharing his story. “We came here as missionaries two years ago.  For years I asked my pastor for his blessing to come here but he always refused, but finally he gave us his blessing.”

Our team had come to Leh, in Northeastern Kashmir.  A very remote mountainous region which is isolated from the rest of the world for 6-8 months each year as the two mountain passes fill with snow blocking off all supplies and trade goods coming in or out. The population is 200,000, mostly Buddhist, with less than 300 Christians.

“When I arrived here I met with a motorcycle accident.  I broke both my wrists and my shoulder” Ajit continued. “I was in great pain and required surgery but I was not able to go to the hospital in Delhi.  It was 4 months before I had surgery. My shoulder is still not healed and is in pain.”    Continue Reading…

Our next journey is now upon us (6/25-7/17). The first week will include a revival conference in Himachal Pradesh (H.P.) and prayer trekking through many villages. The second week Dan will be joined by other team members (both from US and India) and will head to another area of H.P. to help jumpstart 3 new church plants. Focus will be on home visits and prayer walking, again trekking some remote villages. Our last week we will be returning to Leh. Please pray that we will carry His Presence everywhere we go, and God will bring spiritual breakthrough to many individuals and regions on this trip. 

Thanks to your prayers and generosity, we were able to bless Pastor Deshraj with the money needed so they can complete the very first Prayer Hall in that region of north India. We rejoice with them that history is being made and the influence of Christianity is growing in these remote mountain villages. Please continue to pray for this pastor, his family and the precious believers that will gather here.

On our last journey we visited a small church in a remote village in Punjab. When I asked where the bathroom was they pointed to the nearby field. Hmmm…what to do? So we gave them money to build an enclosed toilet. They sent me a very nice thank you about how we have helped them advance the Kingdom of God there. Not quite a revival, but they sure are happy and thankful. You helped us “go,” so we helped them “go.” (LOL)
