One day during our village stay I traveled with a local Lutheran Pastor Rai to visit one of the church groups that he does pastor work for. In a small predominantly Hindu village there was a house fellowship of about 13 families, all baptized believers. The members of this group were new converts from Hinduism all within the past five years or so. Presently they don't have their own pastor but one of them does preach. I asked Pastor Rai how many of these house fellowships he visits on his motorcycle, "37" he said. Wow! Needless to say, he can't visit them all each week but he tries to get to them every couple of months for pastoral concerns and administering the Lord's Supper. We can pray that God continues to raise up leaders and pastors for these groups.
