"The month of November Feeding Event was conducted at the village of Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh. Before the Feeding Event, The Elijah Challenge Training was conducted for 18 Pastors and 64 believers on November 15 and 16. All the trained servants of God went around the village healing the sick and telling them about the kingdom of God. They invited the villagers to come to the Feeding Event on the evening of the 17th at 7 pm. As a result, approximately 485 people came to the Feeding Event and 428 of them gave their hearts to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Our local Pastor, Brother Rockwell, told me on phone that they have planted two new churches in that area and that Elijah Challenge-trained believers are helping him in the ministry. Praise the Lord for this great harvest."
