India 2009

Tony Curzon - Live From London, England. He is back with Heart First Ministries.


We are excited that Roy is back from India. It is hard to tell of the great things that God accomplished on this short trip. I could say that we spoke to over 1500 people, saw many people healed of sickness, lead a few people to the Lord, trained leaders to plant new churches, and cast prophetic vision everywhere we went. I might not sure if that tells the story. We often get lost in lists of accomplishments. The real story for me is that I witnessed a people of courage. I saw the book of Acts come to life right in front of my eyes. I saw what God is doing in a place where less than 1% of the people are Christians. I saw the power of light over darkness. I went to spread hope and gained even more hope. I saw dancing and praise motivate a people who constantly have to deal with corruption and intimidation. I am encouraged. God is not overcome by the darkness.


One of the hundreds of stories that particularly moved me happened out in one of the local villages. We had just participated in a heavenly encounter with the love of Jesus. As a prophetic sign I asked each of the participants to turn and embrace one another. The saints obeyed immediately. I then felt lead to ask for testimonies. One of the ladies testified that as she was hugged she felt a pain in her stomach leave immediately. I was very moved. She wasn't touched by "the man of God". She was touched with compassion by one of her fellow workers. God once again reminded me that lovers make better workers in his kingdom. God's compassion was on display. Oh, that we catch this simple principle. Just like Mary someone realized that one thing is necessary. She chose to sit and look into the eyes of Jesus. There is a woman in a small village in Eastern Uttar Pradesh that understands this one thing. She looked into the eyes of Jesus and sickness had to bow its knee. Praise God.


I am also encouraged that Tony Curzon and I are reconnected. He is going to represent us for a while in London, England. Go Tony!
