Reaching
the Unreachable II
(Reaching those who by man's law cannot become
Christians)
An evangelistic outreach was conducted in a country where the indigenous people are forbidden by law to become Christians. Such conversions in this country are very risky and thus rare. Just prior to the outreach, disciples of Jesus Christ were trained how to heal the sick as Jesus did. At the subsequent evangelistic event, the poor and homeless---some of whom were indigenous people---were invited to come and enjoy a meal. See the two photos below.
After the meal they gathered for a meeting where the gospel of Jesus Christ was proclaimed. A few of them were mocking and jeering during the sharing of the gospel. One man was drunk, and a woman was mumbling so loudly it could be heard from the podium. See the photo below.
After the Kingdom of God was proclaimed, the disciples of Jesus Christ who had just been equipped in The Elijah Challenge Seminar laid hands on the infirm and healed them as Jesus commanded his disciples in Luke 10:9. Below are the disciples ministering.

By the time those who were healed began to testify of the miracles, the jeering had long stopped. Even the woman who was mumbling loudly at the beginning of the meeting had been touched by the Lord in her body and had come forward to testify. We invited the people to accept Jesus Christ as the one who has authority to forgive sin and the only way to the Father based on the confirming miracles they had seen. They were glad when they were not asked to renounce their religion and "convert to Christianity," but rather to follow Jesus Christ as Lord and only Savior. About ten of the poor and homeless raised their hands to respond to the invitation---some of them indigenous people who by law cannot renounce their religion and convert to Christianity.
One believer who attended the meeting said that never before had she seen indigenous people respond to the gospel in such a way and in such numbers. Other believers commented that they had never before witnessed such an event.
The Word of God actually works. Jesus' command to his disciples in Luke 10:9 to "heal the sick and tell them, 'the kindom of God is near you'" can actually be carried out. We have entered the end times, and the Lord is restoring the spirit and power of Elijah to His Church.
Matthew 11:5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
The Lord performs greater miracles when the good news is preached to the poor. “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” (James 4:6)
Luke 10:9 "Heal the sick who are there and tell them, 'The kingdom of God is near you.’"
