Pastors

Church renewal is expensive, it’s most expensive in time.  Spending regular and intentional time with Jesus on a daily basis is harder and more challenging that it would seem at first blush.

God has begun to give Knox Fellowship a vision for renewing pastors.

The overall thought is that a handful of pastors would come together for a period of intense bible reading, bible study, prayer, praise and worship. It would be a three month time commitment. The thought is that Knox Fellowship would supply a pastor (probably a retired or interim pastor) for your congregation during your time away. Furthermore the pastor supplied would help prepare your congregation for your return. The idea is that your session would be engaged in a bible study three times a week.

One Response to Pastors

  1. Personal-Data
    My Name is . Darsi.Hanumaiah; I have born in India and the state
    of Andhra Pradesh. There are many castes and religions in India. I am
    belongs to caste basis [scheduled caste, this caste is Lower caste in
    all castes in India] and religiously [Hindu] 100% Hindus were
    worshipping Idols and goddesses. My parents and my self worshipped
    once upon a time to Idols and Goddesses. I born in small village,
    before 15 years there was no way to go city and my village. And my
    parents also so poor in my village and daily weigh labors. My child
    hood gone a way in so many critical and financial crises. Because of
    poor ness of my parents. I was studied my studies residential
    government school and hostel. From the age 0f 5 years to 15 years and
    from 1st class to 10th class. By the grace of God I passed in 10th
    class 1993. And joined to study for Intermediate course that also I
    have completed 1995 and passed in government residential college for
    poor and lower caste students. After that great critical situation
    created and there was no way to go further studies, my father met TB
    [Tuber colossus] by that situation I became as a daily weigh labor to
    run the family, in that time my father took treatment 9 months course
    in government hospital, by the grace of God he received good health to
    work and run family, but I told to my father you do not work, take
    rest again three months I will do work and run the family, so by that
    illness of my father my studies stopped only with 10+2 and I was
    continuing as a daily weigh labor and I choose to settle in painter
    occupation painter means not a great artist but I was just white wall
    washer.
    Born again Experience
    As usually village people met ills because of poor ness they can’t eat
    strengthen food and they were living dirty villages there was no
    cleanness, the same situation came in my life. And I was met disease
    and metal shocked in 1995, and I was reached, my health position
    reached at death stage I lost my hope when I was on the bed with
    unknown disease. My father and mother weeping at my bed they were
    sacrificed hens and sheep’s to our Hindu Gods and Goddesses for my
    health cure, but no improvement, some of our Hindu relatives told to
    my father this was your son met by demon bring him to magician he can
    be cured we were gone so many places and magicians but no advantage.
    My father tired and depressed because he have done everything and he
    have no money in his hand, I was death stage on the cot without
    understanding of illness no body have not identifying about my
    illness. After those things one day one Christian Evangelist came to
    my house pray for me, I shouted loudly get out from here, Iam a Hindu
    I will die as a Hindu, but he was not gone and he told me you can
    shout or kill me I will not go and pray for you .he prayed for me with
    my father cooperation with in the minutes I have received and healed
    my whole body by the Lord Jesus Christ and the holy spirit of God.
    What a wonderful miracle which was never expected and whole villagers
    wondered and real God has done wonderful miracle in my life. After my
    healing, me and my parents heard so many things about Lord Jesus
    Christ by that Evangelist he who was prayed for me when I was unknown
    disease, and he shared to me and my parents Gospel of Lord Jesus
    Christ from the Holy Bible below following references.[Mathew 1:21,
    Luke 2:11,19:10,John 3:16,1 Timothy 1:15,Hebrews 5:9,7:25] Immediately
    I was kneel down in the presence of God I have done this prayer Lord
    you gave me body healing ,give me spirit salvation ,I am accepting of
    your birth ,miracles ,cross ,death, resurrection and your second
    coming, and I am a great sinner wash me with your holy and precious
    blood and save me ,after completion of this prayer I got great Joy in
    my heart and in the holy spirit of God ,after some days I took baptism
    according to the word of God [John 3:3, Acts 2:38,8:36 and some other
    references] .
    The Call from Lord Jesus Christ
    When I was growing in spiritually to read bible and in prayer and
    meditate the Gods word I got great joy in my life. And I was started
    to go painter work when it was healed after three months. That
    Evangelist told me you can dedicate for Gospel ministry, that time I
    was not taken seriously but I was praying in the presence of God for
    this highly and spiritual purpose. The days were going on, that
    Evangelist died 1995 in the August month. There were no more
    Evangelists were not for that village and he proclaimed Gospel of Lord
    Jesus Christ in many villages and my village surrounding by walk.
    Loving heart slept, leaded heart slept when I was very much depressed
    but God gave me hope and trust in Lord. When I was thinking and
    praying about of Gospel ministry in the presence of Lord Jesus Christ,
    [I received specific call from Lord by his Gods word, Mark 6:33-34]
    Respected sir I am not came from the pastors family for this ministry,
    I was just painter And daily weigh labor by the grace of God,
    Compassionate God chosen me for his ministry.” To God be the glory”
    for his compassion .I received call from God to be witness as his
    Gospel, like Amos in the Holy Bible. [Amos 7:14-15] and I have no
    sufficient education I was just completed 10+2 when I was called for
    the ministry. So after call from the God, prayerfully and spiritually
    I was prepared to go Bible College. And I was joined bible college for
    CTh Bible Training in 1996 and completed 1997, and I have completed my
    BTh Bible Training from 1997 -2001, and my B.D. Bible Training
    completed 2003-2005. By the grace of God I called for his ministry and
    I have completed Bible Trainings for his glory and to do spiritual
    Gospel ministry.

    Commitment
    According to the word of God and the respond of Isaiah in the book of
    Isaiah 6:8. Actually Isaiah was a great prophet of God but obeyed for
    the Gods call and committed in very spiritual way, I was just nominal
    painter but god gave me opportunity to share his word and his Gospel
    there fore I was felt at his holy feet and committed for his call to
    do his Gospel ministry with the guidance of Holy spirit of God. There
    fore my ministry started as an Independent Pastor when I was sent
    from local church According to the word of God [Acts 13:1-5] when I
    was a student Pastor, and from 1996 as a student pastor in city and
    most unknown remote villages. From 1996 -2001 I have done ministry as
    a student pastor and God uplifted his ministry to stand in city and
    remote villages. After graduation of my BTh, I was continuing my
    ministry as Independent pastor and rural Evangelist. From the student
    pastor I was not attached with any denomination and or ministry I was
    moving according To the word of God and doing ministry with support of
    God. As from student pastor and until now. Until now I have faced many
    problems like [St Paul 2 Corinthians 6:1-10] without anything support
    from National and International ministries. And I was completed my BD
    Bible Training 2003-2005. Now I have no desire to study more studies,
    and be a professor or bible college lecturer, but I have spiritual
    burden to feed the believers in Gods word and proclaim the Gospel of
    Lord Jesus Christ in remote villages. And present ministry I am an
    Independent pastor and rural Evangelist in India and small
    congregation. They are all-poor and daily weigh labors but they have
    great faith in Lord Jesus Christ and have passion about lost souls in
    remote village and desert places. To share the Gospel, by the grace of
    God by this small church and believers cooperation I was doing Gospel
    ministry. Gospel tracts distribution
    Power of prayer I have proclaimed the gospel in 200 Remote Villages
    and prepared 10 rural Evangelists to lead the small congregations in
    villages at least one Evangelist for village by the bible training
    classes for 10 small village congregations. 100 Holy Bibles
    distributed to poor believers and 50 Gospel tracts boxes distributed
    to unbelievers, and fed some of poor children when they were hungry
    and helped financially to some of old age Small help, orphans, widows
    and destitute. One more time I would like to share some spiritual
    things How I was inspired with the Holy Spirit of God to start
    Independent ministry and the name dedicate is as Compassionate Christ
    Gospel Church. By the following Scriptural authoritative References.

    Respected sir what I want to tell to you with humble way.
    There is great ministry in my own country and among my own people, if
    I say spiritually, there were many and most people dying without
    salvation of Lord Jesus Christ, our country people Idol worshipping
    under bondage of unclean spirits, wretch crafts, following false
    traditions, worshipping Goddesses, Illiterates, living without
    civilization, in remote and tribal villages, suffering with hungry,
    illness and living without comfort, hope and many more unspeakable
    things in my country, first my country needs the savior Lord Jesus
    Christ .when I was thinking my own country I should have no sleep
    every day I am weeping in the presence of Gods feet ,salvation for my
    country and my own people I shared with you how I received the Lord
    Jesus Christ in my life I am not birth Christian or came from pastors
    family ,my heart filled with the holy spirit of God to share the love
    and compassion of Lord and savior Jesus Christ ,especially in remote
    villages ,tribal villages ,forest and hill places those who are not
    heard about Lord Jesus Christ at least one time .I am doing Gospel
    Ministry from 14 years I have experience in gospel ministry 5 Years
    as a student pastor and 9 Years as a fulltime pastor and rural
    Evangelist .in those 14 years I have faced many fatal incidents
    ,financially deeply struggled , so many times objected by unbelievers
    some times beaten by Hindu Religious Radicals and many times they
    burnt destroyed holy bibles and Gospel tracts when I was and my co
    servants of God in Gospel preaching .but never saw behind by the grace
    of God I am going with burden about lost souls to share the Gospel in
    remote villages in AP. I have learned spiritual things in my life
    according to the word of God only, not my own I never Implement, when
    I am sharing about my spiritual gifts I completely committed according
    to the word of God [1 Corinthians 12,13,14 Chapters] until Now by the
    grace of God I was leading the 10 Congregations in A.P., and at The
    same time leading city local church [Compassionate Christ Gospel
    Church] sharing the gospel in remote villages, and when I was praying
    for sick God healing them if it is the will of God . Iam not called
    for the ministry to implement my own doctrines I have called for the
    ministry to obey Gods commandments and his will. When ever whatever we
    will preach whether doctrine or faiths should be according to the word
    of God. And about talents by the grace of God I can play keyboard and
    little bit of guitar knowledge, by the grace of God I can sing
    melodiously and spiritually, by the grace of God I wrote many songs
    about Lord Jesus Christ, love. Compassion, persecution on the cross of
    Calvary, his death and resurrection and his second coming.

    Vision and Mission about Banjara people and Gospel ministry among in
    remote villages
    Who are Banjaras?

    The banjaras are largest and historic formed group in India and also
    known as lambda or lambani.the banjara people are a people who speaks
    lambda or lambani.rather they are listed under 53 different names
    .historically these are root gypsies of earth .the banjaras are a
    colorful versatile and one of the largest peoples group of India
    inhabiting most of the districts of the Andhra Pradesh .the banjara
    are a sturdy ,ambitious people and have a light complexion .the
    banjara were historically nomadic ,keeping cattle ,trading salt and
    transporting goods .most of these people now have settled down to
    farming and various types of wage labor .their habits of living in
    isolated groups away from other ,which was a characteristic of their
    nomadic days ,still persists.
    The banjara is now experiencing rapid changes, and their traditional
    customs, practices and institutions are undergoing far-reaching
    transformations .now settled down as agricultural laborers .forty
    million in India and thirteen million outside India there may be
    fifty-five million banjara/gypsies live in the world .the banjaras are
    located through out much of south central India and north east India.
    an estimated five million live in Andhra Pradesh .the rest live in the
    states of Karnataka ,Maharashtra ,madhyapradesh,himachalpradesh and
    rajasthan.threre are approximately 40 million banjaras in India ,and
    only 0.1% of them are reached and others have not even heard the name
    of Jesus .their religion is Hinduism and animism .and only 12-15% of
    banjara people are literate.
    *AND THEY INCLUDED IN THE GREAT COMMISSION OF JESUS AS SEEN IN MATHEW -28:16-20

    ACTIVITIES DESCRIPTION:
    1] Gospel Meetings –At the end of every month of every year will be
    conducted gospel Meetings in the villages to lead the people at Lord
    Jesus Christ and win the souls for his glory and expansion of kingdom
    of God.
    2]Seminars with rural evangelists –once in six month we would keep
    five days work shop .we seat and discuss on the work done in six
    months and check for the gaps .and also talk on their commitments and
    bible study.
    3] Church planting – Out reach church plantation in most remote
    villages and banjara tribes.
    4] Medical camp— There is no proper hospital near to our thandas
    [villages].at least for small medication they have to go to towns,
    which are quite far away .our thandas are in desperate need of medical
    camps once in thee months where we will provide them with medical
    check ups, medicine and vitamins.
    5] Bible training — I have decided to give training to at least ten
    up coming evangelists because by the grace of God I trained 7 years
    bible course .would you believe If I say thandas that are 20 km away
    from the developing towns and still the gospel is not reached to them
    we are very much need evangelists to spread the gospel .I need
    evangelists who would leave in thandas, live with them and also he
    will work in 10 to 15 thandas.
    6] Home for the aged and orphan banjara people –Due to poverty many
    of the old banjara people are seen on roads begging for their daily
    food .there are also some people who are homeless as they are
    physically challenged or mentally challenged or their parents are not
    able to give them proper daily food .in this year I want to establish
    at least one home for them where we would provide them food, cloth and
    shelter.
    7] Bringing out scriptures and Christian literature for poor banjara
    believers —-It is often hard pressed to purchase and distribute
    bibles to these new believers so that they can continue to grow in
    their new Christian faith .one bible will many times be great
    blessing, not only to the new believer, but also to the family and
    some times the entire thanda .I want to bring out Christian literature
    in banjara language so that it would be easy to understand for them.
