A Conversation With Pastor Jay
by Jeanne Zahn
"Did I not
tell you? If you Believe You Will See the Glory of God!"
John 11:40
 Anyone who has ever spent time listening to
Pastor Jay comes away with a profound respect for Almighty God,
a smile from the bigger than life illustrations, and quotes to
tuck away for future moments of wisdom.
I wanted to know his thoughts on the state of
spiritual affairs across their country. Pastor Jay spent four days with 4,000 pastors from
every state in India at ICMC's All India Pastors Conference. Here's how our
conversation went (as fast as I could type)...from thoughts
about
Muslims and Allah as Almighty God; to Hindu's likening 'foreign'
Christianity to a cell phone and pants; to a new sense of unity
he senses between people groups; to a sweet admission of
pastors isolated in lonely villages that "our broken hearts have
been comforted". And...guess how many pastors Pastor Jay wants to
host next year?

For Prayer and Praise
-
TIMOTHY ORISSA PASTOR RELEASED:
S. Mahapatra and the fifteen people he is mentoring and
planning to bring to Timothy training were released on bail.
God did it. Mahapatra even came to the All India Pastors
Conference. The fifteen future "Timothy" church
planters are forced to remain in Orissa state to sign in
with police authorities regularly. They plan on
attending Timothy School next year.
-
LITTLE GIRL TO HAVE HEART PROCEDURE:
Neva writes, "A girl named Sakunthala, eleven-years old, has
been diagnosed with a heart disease called mitarl valve
stenosis. She has been taken to two hospitals and they
suggested that she undergo a procedure called the 'Balloon
Mitral Valvuloplasy'. She will be undergoing the
procedure in the next few weeks".
-
TIMOTHY SCHOOL SUPPORT DOWN: God
hasn't answered this one fully yet, except that a family
here felt moved to cover the lost support during July and
August.
-
VISAS
GRANTED: After being
denied twice, the Dutch team coming to ICMC in August met
personally with the Consulate to plead their case.
Miraculously, they granted visas for all of them! They
contributed much to the encouragement of the 4000 pastors
from all over India.
-
THIRD
FLOOR GIRLS HOSTEL DEDICATED:
The Dutch team opened the third floor of the girls hostel,
housed above the St. Grahams Tamil school.
-
CORN,
BANANAS, TAPIOCA, BEANS PLANTED:
In addition to the regular
acres of rice and beans, ICMC planted 15 acres of corn, 1000
banana trees on 10 acres, and 5 acres of Tapioca. The
fields are green from the rain and the dam is filling up.
Thank the Lord for His pleasure to provide food from His
land.
-
TEACHER
TRAINING COLLEGE EXPANDED:
Pastor Jay writes, "We have 150 students at St. Grace Lilian Teacher Training Institute
and next year it will be raised to 200 students. The NCTE
approved the St Basil College of Education also. Pray
for the Tamil Nadu state to now approve it".
Thank the Lord for the additional revenue from outside
paying students...and more free "seats" for graduating ICMC
students.
