Dear Friends in Christ,
I can’t overstate
the importance and urgency of this email regarding the probability
of a revival that could begin in India on November 4, 2001. Three
hundred million Dalits (low-caste "untouchables") are
on the verge of leaving the caste system. This is a gateway for
us to present the Gospel to these millions and more!
Over the past few months,
high-level leaders representing no less than 300 million Dalits
have been in dialogue with the All India Christian Council. (The
AICC is the largest Evangelical network in India with membership
of over 2,000 mission organizations, denominations and other Christian
entities.) Their simple request was: "The only way for our
people to find freedom from 3,000 years of slavery is to quit
the caste system and embrace another faith. Christianity offers
hope for us. We are happy for our people to become Christians...
Can you help us?"
This request culminated
in a historic meeting on September 7, 2001 in Hyderabad, India
where over 740 of the top evangelical leaders from across India
met with 26 top Dalit leaders to discuss how this movement should
be handled. Dr. Joseph D'Souza and Dr. K.P. Yohannan (president
of Gospel for Asia) give leadership to the AICC which is committed
to mobilize the Church body to respond to this most urgent challenge.
Gospel for Asia is one of the largest church planting movements
in the subcontinent and has been busy taking concrete steps to
respond to this move of God.
This mass exodus begins
on November 4, 2001. One this date, one million low-caste Dalits
are expected to meet in New Delhi, India for a mass conversion
event to Buddhism. Now, by God's grace, the option of finding
freedom through Christ will also be presented.
Will you please stand
in the gap and get involved on behalf of millions who may end
up following the Lord Jesus? Please visit our website at http://www.gfa.org/revival
