A miracle working God
Kikon Lotha-
Neighbours Mission Himalayas.
Millions of souls are perishing without hearing the
Gospel in the Himalayan region. Can you hear the heartbeat of God for those
souls perishing? People in this region are lost in alcohol and drug addiction,
possession by evil spirits and abusive family lives. Many are sick and
hopeless, having no vision for their life. The people there are hungry for the
Word of God but are in bondage with their superstitions, fears and Idol worship.
They have been Idol worshippers until their lives have been transformed by the
saving grace of Jesus Christ. Each one has a powerful testimony to tell
Eph 2:1-10 For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus,
so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
In 1997 after Bible school in my home country of Nagaland,
I moved to Siliguri in obedience to the call of God. God gave me a clear
mission…A ministry of church planting-winning souls for Christ. After much
prayer and fasting Neighbours Mission Himalayas was birthed to work in the
Himalayan regions that borders India, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Nepal. Our
ministry is based on Matthew 22:37-39 “Jesus replied, “You must love the Lord your God with all your
heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest
commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself”. My
wife and I have obeyed His divine calling in our lives to carry out His
mission. Praise God that we have been blessed to witness miracles of healing,
signs and wonders and His marvellous provision when we submitted by faith to do
His calling. I am humbled by the fact that God in His magnificent wisdom and
grace has allowed me to get a glimpse into what He is doing in the Himalayan
region.”
In February 2015 a young lady, Seema Routh, was brought
to our church for prayers. She was in her 7th month of pregnancy and
had a heart problem. She could hardly walk and had difficulty in breathing.
Shortly after this she felt numbness in her legs and became paralysed from the
waist down. Her desperate mother took her to Hospital and was told that due to
her complications of her heart, her paralysis and her pregnancy there was
nothing they could do and the doctor informed the family that there was a
strong possibility she would not make it. They were poor and going to the
hospitals in the city was not an option. When a neighbour suggested taking her to the
Christian church, her parents and her husband immediately brought her. They
kept coming faithfully and believed this Christian god could heal their
daughter. God in His compassion and love for Seema healed her completely. In
April she gave birth to healthy baby girl and both mother and daughter is doing
well. She is able to walk and shows no sign of any heart problem. After her
delivery Sema accepted Jesus as her Lord and saviour and was born again. Now
her husband, mother and two brothers come to church regularly and she is
praying that they too will accept Jesus as they Lord and Saviour. When Seema’s
doctor heard what happened he did not believe it until she went to see him and
even then could not believe that she was completely healed. Seema’s healing has
spread around the villages and has brought hope to many. Many lives have been
touched through Seema’s miracle.God used this simple uneducated girl to reveal His power,
His compassion and His love.

In the village of Belgachi, a 44 year old woman fell to
the ground in the throes of an epileptic fit. It was a daily occurrence for
her, sometimes 4 to 5 times a day. She had spent all her saving trying to find
a cure, seeing one doctor after another. When that did not work she sought the
help of the Hindu gods and spent all her money on one medium after another
until all her money was gone. On the 2nd of March a Christian
neighbour took Ps Suresh Turi, our missionary to pray for her. When the Pastor
laid hands on her she felt instantly that she was healed. From that instant she
has never had another seizure again. Now she, her husband and 4 daughters have
accepted Jesus and been born again.
People who knew her are simply amazed at her healing and many of her
neighbours and friends want to know this God who healed her.

God is moving in such a powerful way across the Himalayas
reaching, touching and changing lives. People
in the Himalayas are coming to Christ with openness to the supernatural
demonstration of God’s power especially through miracles, signs and wonder. A
spiritual harvest has began and God is calling His people back to Him.
Heb 2:4
And God confirmed
the message by giving signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the
Holy Spirit whenever he chose.
Prayer Request
1. We pray that God will raise up more
workers for the harvest fields of the Himalayas so that
every person in this region will be able to hear the Gospel of Jesus
Christ.
2. May the Lord continue to bless the two
women, Seema and Shanti that through the testimony
more people will come into the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
3. We ask the Lord to bless the foot
soldiers and church planter in the Himalayan region and God
provision in their lives and the needs of the ministry.
