Andrew Todd Farley: It began with God introducing Prabhakar to me in mid November, but a couple weeks later here’s the date and time when I was led by God to introduce him to brothers Rip and Zoe, so his team of Pastors could learn about the Elijah Challenge training. This was one of several confirmations that God gave me, to drive 600 miles to Zoe’s home and support the Mercy Mission India team, however God leads. Glory to God!

On December 18th, Rip, Ange & Sister Mercy met Pastor Prabhakar Kondopoga and as Rip’s testimony shows, “fireworks” erupted. They were already in Tenali around 60km away with Pastor Ram on the outreach to his orphanage. A funeral that Pastor Ram had to attend left a day “open” for the team. Pastor PK had previously changed his pastors meeting from the 14th to the 18th of December. It was agreed by all involved this was God’s providence and ordering the footsteps of his servants in the field. God IS the master of the Chessboard.

God is a master at connecting the dots with His vessels and this is a great example of it! This one connection God made between a man in Indiana and India, and then more big things happened 2.5 weeks later as is documented below:

Hello Dear Friends

It’s a great joy and an honor to share an update with you about today. My dear brother and man of God, Rip Logan and team, joined us on December 18, 2015 for ministry.

God’s perfect timing always amazes me, and he divinely and supernaturally re-arranged our Pastor’s meeting and many details, so that Rip and his team could come and do what God had planned! I’m happy to now share some of the details of what God has done through him and at our meeting on December 18th:

We had 55 pastors, and more than 35 widows who attended our meeting in the morning session. During this our USA Missionary Rip logan shared the word of God, and encouraged everyone to walk in and use the authority that God has already made available to believers, as He is no respecter of persons.

From the morning session, through the session after lunch- He shared or taught biblical principles regarding authority, power, and God’s healing. He also taught us about the Elijah Challenge ministry, and the vision of what God wants to do throughout India. We also discussed what God has placed on our ministry regarding orphanages and widow homes, and how we might effectively make progress in these areas. Finally, Sister Mercy Konda shared her wonderful and amazing testimony, of her conversion to the Kingdom through a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. Then, God healed many people with His touch!

Many showed up with infirmity and sickness, diseases and pains, and walked out free.

Things such as knee problems and pain, back and shoulder pains, and even epilepsy. God delivered and healed them all from those problems; many miracle healings took place in the afternoon as God showed His power and grace once again to us on this day! He showed himself faithful to how He rewards us if we follow His word and believe.

A big highlight of the day, was a young 25 year old lady named “Papamma”, who was possessed with many demonic spirits! We fought with these demons for nearly an hour; and glory to God as He alone completely healed and delivered her from this severe oppression!

To end this day, we then went to the original agenda of a Christmas celebration, with fellowship and cutting cake, and we provided gifts to all the Pastors, and 15 of the widows. We did have a small challenge though, as 35 widows came, so in faith I promised the other widows/mothers that I would bless them by the end of the month with items for them as well. Please join us in agreement and in prayer for the financial breakthrough God will provide, to complete this. Also, I request the prayer of the MMI team to support our plans in developing a widows home and orphanages.

This is part of a subsequent update from Brother Rip Logan, sent to the founder of Elijah Challenge, a few days after they left Pastor Prabhakar’s meeting:

“It was fireworks. Many people were healed and then we got into a major deliverance on a girl who after an intense battle was set free. I sent the videos to Lucille. They are begging us to come back soon, and spend a week to teach and then go into tribal areas with the pastors, to help them learn deliverance and command healing with boots on the ground. They also are working to start orphanages and they say there is an immediate need to help at least 1000 children”.

As of 12/27/2015 a diary or journal of this event and images, photographs and video are being shared on Mercy Mission India’s Facebook page, and this blog-site. Our journal of the entire MMI trip including other trips to villages where God showed up, should be completed in this week ahead, so that people can see what God is doing!

Please prayerfully consider contributing or donating whatever God may lead you in doing to support this small and humble mission. God is going to bless and work powerfully in the weeks, months and years ahead- we humbly invite YOU to be a part of our team and bless the mission!
