GFA flood relief teams distribute food and household items to 100 families. |
Six Gospel for Asia-supported missionaries traveled across arduous roads and hilly terrain to reach a mountaintop where people from a flood-hit area in Jammu and Kashmir, India, waited for aid.
The relief team set out October 9 and journeyed for four days to reach their destination. Just a month prior, a strike had halted all traffic from flowing in and out of a region they had to cross in order to reach the people in need of help. The region was also treacherous for Christians with persecutions being a common occurrence.
“By God’s grace, all the problems were solved, and the roads were cleared. God unblocked all the blocked doors of Satan, and our teams safely crossed over the borders where anti-Christian elements persecuted Christians just a month ago,” said a GFA field correspondent. “Their journey was thrilling and also dangerous. But the Lord helped them to reach their destination safely without any problems.”
When the six-member team finally reached the mountaintop, they distributed goods to 100 families. Each family received rice, flour, sugar, salt and dahl; woolen jackets and blankets to keep them warm; and cattle feed for their livestock.
The workers ask for prayers of blessing concerning their future plans, and that the families who received aid will learn of salvation through Jesus.
