For the past nine years, Independent Church In India has been preaching the Gospel to the hundreds of villages around the area of Vadipatti. While continuing to run their main church, a tailoring school, and Bible study cell groups at Vadipatti they also have a leading and burden of the Lord to start a new Church towards the north. In this new area, there are about five hundred villages.

Many of these villagers are living in chains of bondage and utter darkness, due to long years of idol worship. Most of them have never heard the Gospel. The new area is in desperate need of a Bible-believing church to praise and worship the Lord freely. The Pastor’s have spent lots of time in search of a building to start this new church and have prayed diligently that the Lord would provide a place near the bus stand. The Lord has answered the prayer and they have found a room for rent on the third floor right next to a bus stand! The Hindu landlord who rented the building to them shared: “We feel that God had provided this building for your services because before we couldn’t rent to any others. We are in debt now, but since we have rented this to you we feel that God will bless us”.

Reaching the Villages With the Good News...

Starting in January, the Gospel team began in this new area to distribute Gospel tracts and to share the Gospel by personal evangelism to all those who are willing to hear. One day, Pastor Britto and his team gave their tract called “Mankind’s Most Important Questions” to a man who was ready to receive the word of God.
