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.
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

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
*DON’T YOU WANT TO SEE THEM IN HEAVEN AS RECORDED IN REVALATION-7:9
It is a wonderful opportunity to win them for Christ when the doors
are open .Then do you care? Jesus loves banjaras and they have every
right to experience his love.
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.
