Women In Focus Evangelism |
Dear Partners in Missions:
Thank you for your partnership in
reaching into one of the most needy places of the world.
India is the second largest nation of the world
with 1.2 billion people. Sadly, 80% of the population is Hindu and 130 million Muslim.
We have a big job in these last moments before Jesus' return to speed the gospel
and fulfill the Great Commission in this part of the world.
God is moving in an accelerated way in
India in the last 15 years. We stand at a unique time in India's history. In
the state where I live, Tamilnadu in India, we have grown from just 200 churches to over
1200 since 1990, under the able leadership of Pastor P.S. Rajamoni, District and South India Superintendent of the Assemblies of God.
Also in Chennai, Tamilnadu is the phenomenal New Life Assembly of God church
pioneered 25 years ago by Pastor David Mohan (All-India General Superintendent of the
A/G). The church has grown to over 30,000 in membership. Tamilnadu is a key place
since it is the location of key Indian leaders and a sending station for India.
In 1984, as a student at Central Bible
College, I had a vision around the altars after a morning chapel service that has been
indelibly marked on my heart. In the vision I saw clearly the face of a young Indian
woman. Twenty years later, I am seeing the fulfillment of this vision as I walked in
the perfect timing of the Holy Spirit into the miracle God is doing among the women of India. It has been my complete joy to be a
part of this miracle unfolding in India among women.
Both Pastor David and Getzial Mohan
and Pastor P.S. and Vasantha Rajamoni have been working closely with me in the
establishment of "Women in Focus Evangelism in India. These wonderful
Gatekeepers hosted the first-ever ground breaking National Women's Conference in October
2004 at New Life Assembly of God in Chennai, Tamilnadu. The leaders wives have
been traveling with me throughout India doing women's crusades/camps to touch the lives of
women.
This website will attempt to briefly
sketch out for you the ongoing miracle unfolding in India among women. It is a
true miracle because of India's history of abuse to women. Here's a brief overview
of statistics which are a reality in India today:
* Female Infanticide - 3000 baby girls murdered daily
* One million child prostitutes sold into sexual slavery in brothels and temples
* 25,000 Brides burned annually as victims of dowry deaths
Please pray with us as you visit this website. It is the prayer of the saints
that opens the door of ministry for us.
Colossians 4:
3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we
may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.
4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.
May the Lord bless you richly for your prayers and your partnership with us!
Blessings,
Terri Novini
Missionary to India
