It was indeed the Lord who guided us in meeting many young and old people to witness the Gospel of Jesus Christ.   Me and Markus wanted to visit this place from many weeks, but obstacles would come along our way stopping us to evangelize.  

We reached Hosur about 7 am at Bro. Prabhakar's home, who is a Lecturer at the Government College. He was gracious enough and welcomed us.  We began distributing Gospel literature at Hosur and met a lot of individuals who were construction workers, local public and shop keepers. 

Kumar at a petty shop in Hosur

One them was a BSC graduate student-Kumar whom we witnessed the Gospel and testified about the Lord's work in our Lives. The Gospel did touch Kumar's heart i'm sure the Holy Spirit would convict his heart as he reads through the Bible scriptures in the tract. 

After a while Bro Prabhakar drove us to a local village called Jawalahalli. This place was filled with Mango,Cashew grooves and Cattle Farms.

Many Telugu and Kannada speaking people live here which made us feel like home and were easy to approach every individual in this village.   The scorching heat was on! and so was our joy within our heart to reach out to these people too. Many people accepted the Gospel Tract with Joy and very few of them rejected. 

Venktesh at petty shop in Jawalagiri

Watching us go to and forth distributing tracts, this man at a petty shop named Venktesh noticed us and inquired of our reason to do the same. 

After i shared my testimony with Venktesh, his heart was touched and he began asking questions to me.  Clarifying his doubts and making him understand that faith should exist with reason and works.

I'm sure God has indeed opened his blind folded eyes, and giving him a chance to invite Jesus Christ in to his heart. We honestly felt that God took us here, especially to meet Venktesh. It was worth while being tanned in the scorching heat at noon. 

Request you to kindly keep all the people of this village in your prayers so that God's word would be firmly established in their hearts.   All this was done so that the name of God alone be Glorified.   

All Glory, Honor and credit rightly belongs to HIM alone.
