In His Time.......... with P.Ramachandran

Today we conducted the evangelism seminar in church, titled Models of Evangelism. I am trying to encourage each one to reach one by the end of the year. The seminar was well attended.

On 15-16 Feb, we conducted revival meetings in another remote place where we had built the second PEC church in Odisha, In this village, there are now more Christians than Hindus, thanks to the church planting effort by PEC church planter Pst Mohan.
