The day started with our usual morning devotion. After a couple of worship songs, See Lok started sharing from Mat 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” He was sharing that the Lord wanted us to have an open and available spirit that is completely emptied of self. When he finished sharing, a couple of people joined in the prayers. He later called everyone to lay hands and pray and encourage Virendra. He needed refreshing and reinvigoration. As the prayers for Virendra were going on the word of the Lord came through one of us that Virendra was being called as an APOSTLE to the nation of India. That he would lead an army from city to city to bless the land, destroying the ancient barriers that had hindered the spread of the gospel of our Lord and Saviour. This is led to a series of prayers for Virendra by the Indian consultants and some clients. Then there was a series of prayers by the Indian brethren as they committed to support one another to pursue marketplace ministry and societal transformation.

There was an awesome presence of God during this morning’s devotion. I believe something new has started in India as the Indian brethren connect and lock their hearts together to bring about societal transformation. After the prayers the day’s proceedings started though rather a bit late. Today was the last day for scorecarding. The day went very well as usual with a very interesting short drama sketch on the parable of the wedding feast led by Heather and her team of other consultants. The P’s covered today include Process and Place. Great presentations by Lyn, Jodene and Virendra.

The last item on the agenda was challenging the Indian brethren to work together sacrificially to carry the vision of EQUIP forward. We had our usual debrief meeting at about 6pm with many team members sharing very uplifting testimonies and feedbacks on their clients and deliverables.

The day ended with a group dinner at an Indian restaurant in town. I guess the food was OK but not so inspiring to go again tomorrow night. On our way out of the restaurant, we bumped into a Muslim guy in the lift who showed some friendliness and I ended up praying for him when he asked for prayers. I believe God that we will hear the testimony of his salvation one day.
