A Trip to the 10-40 Window

 by bev—-Just thought to share  a little  interest in favour of the 10-40 window, when I went to Africa I met two very hard working missionaries,  Roger and Charlene Binder, who are in their 80’s right now and who regularly go to India to conduct meetings and by many fund raisers , garden plowing both of them do all work on their own with soup kitchens,  other things to sponsor people, churches and students to learn all they can about Christ.  Here are a few pictures:        
 
        

 

This is a picture of when we met him in Hyderabad following our meetings in Guntur, India  He is 23 and wants to be a bible worker.  Gabriel will be graduating in May or June and say's "After my graduation I have many plans to bring up our people into christ. I wish to open schools because in Tripura we don't have those”   
Gabriel said -"I do not post the baptism program is because the Indian government is targeting so much Christianity conversions and the foreign money that was sent for the Evangelist workers”  In some places there are very active Pathfinder Clubs. one is  Jeevan Jyothi Pathfinder Club
The children were trained to march for the country's Independance day program. A way to kindle in them the patriotic spirit.   One of the activities the Binders do is to pray for each one.
                         

               

 

 

 

 

This is part of the newsletter she sent to me:

 

Once again we began our year with a trip to India in February (as we have done for the last 11 years) to share the gospel message to those there who had not heard it. We do a five Village series each year – that is, we hold the meetings in one Village and invite those in four other Villages to join us. This is arranged before we arrive. Our earlier meetings were held in Villages where there wasn’t an established Seventh-day Adventist Church but in recent years these meetings are held in Villages where there is a church but the members invite their friends and neighbors. We had large attendance most evenings of the two weeks. 

         

Our greatest joy is to witness many give their

hearts to the Lord and be “born again” or by “immersion” (The meaning
of Baptism: Full immersion helped the faithful see that God's grace is needed for salvation from sin-dying in their old way of life going under and rising from the water to a new life of salvation. Baptism gives the faithful a parallel to Jesus's death for man.). As they came out of the water Roger would offer a prayer for

them and I had the privilege of presenting them with a Bible.
