Radstock Ministries

Where can you be involved in all this? Pray pray pray. And if you want to talk about it, call me (not til later in August, I'm on holiday/away from Radstock business when I return from here) but a couple of ideas spring to mind.

In December the 2020 network will be gathering leaders from each of the states in Uttar Pradesh to pray and talk and be equipped. There is a huge need for bibles everywhere. When we met around 10 house church leaders, they were each given about 5-10 Hindi bibles each to take away. Alok said they could easily have given them several times that and they could have used them. The literacy level in the villages is around 50% so someone in a family can normally access it.

At the December conference there will be almost 1000 church leaders gathered. We're thinking it would be great to simply give each of them 10 bibles to take back with them to distribute. That would be 10,000 bibles going out across the state. Another advantage of connecting this to the conference would be avoiding the costs that would be otherwise incurred of getting them to all these districts, whether by post or car. One Hindi bible costs 120 Rupees. This is about £1.50. So for 10,000 we are talking £15,000. Is that something we can do? Let me know if you are interested!

Gifts could be processed through Radstock and the gift aid (UK only) claimed to make it go further. Also, if your church/housegroup would like to partner to pray for a church here, let me know, and I will see what we can set up. And if anyone would like to talk more beyond that, in serious partnership terms, email me at .  Thanks.
