Holy Spirit at Work: Equip India Training Empowers Church Growth in Kerala
KOCHI, KERALA, INDIA - Despite global challenges,
the work of the Holy Spirit is evident in the growth of churches through
ministries like Equip India. Pastor Paulson Stephen from Kochi, Kerala, praises
Equip India for enabling him to train his congregation in evangelism through
their Witness Without Fear (WwF) workshops.
With 15 years of church ministry experience, Pastor Stephen attests to the WwF method's effectiveness in reaching diverse age groups and religious backgrounds, leading to significant church growth. Within three years of implementing the training, his local church added 52 new members, all due to the effective witnessing of his trained believers. He anticipates even more growth in the current year.
As an example of this impact, Pastor Stephen shared
the story of Jerome, a fisherman who, after hearing the Gospel from a trained
church member, committed his life and that of his four family members to the
Lord. Jerome has become an evangelist in his community, truly a "fisher of
men." This testimony underscores the power of effectively equipping church
members to share their faith.
