An Invitation Came
A few weeks after watching the Punjab show on CNN, I received an email from Pastor John Lubhaya of New Jerusalem Charitable Society (NJCS), asking me to come preach at a Christian Crusade in the Punjab. Of all places. Because it had the name Punjab on it, I paid attention, I was interested. What is God doing now? I asked. Is God asking me to accept this invitation. If so, will He provide the funds to go and return? I prayed. I heard YES in my spirit. I emailed Pastor John accepting his invitation but gave no further thought to this.

A Reminder
My brother in-law Zimuzo, came to visit us in Indianapolis. I offered to drive him to Chicago to catch his connecting flight. I recalled that there was an Indian embassy in Chicago. So I took my visa application there as well and received a visa the same day. Many have said getting an Indian visa is a hassle. I tried to get one for Pakistan as well but that process hasn’t been completed yet. This was further proof God wanted me to go to Punjab, India. I purchased my ticket. Pastor Lubhaya stayed in touch and God used him to challenge my faith as well as my ministry – helping it grow.

Fighting Demons
Monday October 27th, I sat tossing and turning in my Hotel bed in Delhi, India. Do I go to the Punjab? Do I board my connecting flight tomorrow to Amritsar? I prayed. The Punjab is close to the Indian border with Pakistan. “Worse” still, the venue I will be preaching at is close to Jammu and Kashmir. The U.S Department of State recommends that U.S Citizens are not to go within 10 KM of the border with Pakistan. My colleague back in the United States warned not to go near that area. Oh the joys of preaching the gospel. I prayed some more. I was tempted to call Pastor Lubhaya and cancel my appearance. The Holy Spirit rebuked me. I prayed. I was reminded of how the devil tried to stop this trip. This was more proof I should go. OK, Lord, I will go. I have a great life in the United States, but if you’ve ordained that it ends in the Punjab, so be it… (To be Continued …)
