India 2008 Trip Report

Leg 1 – 2/29/08 through 2/7/08

Ricky and Roy – The R & R Express hit the planes on January 29^th and head for Chennai.

It was amazing that Ricky just made the flight in Newark to India with 5 minutes to spare.  God is good!

Landed in Chennai and were picked up by taxi and lead to hotel.  The next morning we were greeted Pastor Cornelius wife and two sons and pastor Shekar. They took us to the snake park and we were refreshed.  At the mall shopping I received my first prophetic word that God was healing Pastor Cornelius as we were going to the parking lot.  Later that was confirmed to be true.  What an amazing beginning to alter the effects of jetlag.

We were united and determined to cooperate with God and see what He was up to, and then join him.

 

Places we went:

1. Flew into Chennai
2. Took a train to Coimbatore
3. Stayed in Kovaipadur and spoke at business meeting in morning, visited Bethel Livesey School, home group, visited Central Church
4. Drove to Udumalpet and spent two days in meetings with church.
5. Back to Kovaipadur for two days of Pastors Conference
6. Traveled to Hydrabad and spent the night there.
7. Took the plane to Visakhapatnam (Wysok) and met Pastor Kumar.  Traveled to Visinanagaram.
8. Stayed there for four days -  Pastors Conference, and Open Air Meetings,  Preaching to churches on Sundays and visit to tribal village on Monday. 
9. Went back to Wysock for flight out.

 

Ricky leaves for India and Roy flies back to Coimbatore.

 

 

Some results:

 

4056 Approximately attended meetings which included – Pastors conferences, open air meetings, and church meetings.  A lots of meetings were going on.  Out of this number approximately 200 pastors were exhorted toward fulfilling their destiny and saw a model of supernatural ministry.  About 60 business leaders received prophetic words in Coimbatore, and 40 more in Kovaipadur.  Ezra Kumar is radically changed and received impartation and prophetic anointing to move his ministry to a new level.  God is placing him in regional leadership.  With all the prophetic words and teaching only heaven will tell the real transformation story.  Fresh mantels of anointing were given out to many and it will be wonderful to hear of how God will empower his people.  Our job was just to show up and watch Jesus do His thing.

80 people activated in the prophetic

26 people healed that we know of:  Lame children walking, throat cancers healed, respiratory problems healed,  pain in back healed,  shoulders healed, blind eyes healed, deaf person healed, and heart problems healed.  In the first open air meeting over 130 came for healing we only heard testimonies from about 20 so only God knows how many were actually healed.

25 professed salvation in public meetings

10 were baptized in water. 

2 people were baptized in the Holy Spirit, refreshed and renewed, via a “marriage encounter” session. Another bapticostal has been birthed.

1 demon possessed woman who after 25 years of torment was set free, saved, baptized and filled with joy.  She has a new identity and a new name.

1 girl received the exact prophetic word given by Serena two years earlier with the same act of bowing at her feet in Udmalpet.   God wants her to know that she is a princess in India.

1 woman principal received a prophetic word that she would be promoted to a higher level that would transform a city.

1 Policeman received prophetic words to speak destiny and promotion in his life. That was a much better alternative than him taking us to jail.

1 older man received healing prayer which lead to 6 others seeing God’s power manifest and decided to attend the village church.

1 tired village pastor received seed money to raise the roof on his building and start saving for a motorbike.

1 man, TS Varghese was used of God to purchase a hotel for the night for the R and R express to rest and recover and he showed great hospitality.  We were both so tired and it was an evidence again of God’s grace.

1 young man, Samson Kumar took a risk of faith and invited an unknown pastor to come to Andra Pradesh and received a fresh mantel of supernatural impartation.  His life will never be the same.

 

There were many more stories of single individuals that received the touch of God.  I am so impressed with the truth that as we reach out to the one, God will bring the many.

 

2 Pastors were very tired after all that preaching and praying, but were excited to be WONDERFULLY used of God. 

Ricky flies to Calcutta and will be sorely missed, but greatly appreciated by all who experienced the love of the Father that came from his life and ministry.

Both were awakened to a fire that is arousing their passions and then Roy continued on to the next phase of his journey.
