And They Returned With Joy — Luke 10:17
I have incredible news to share with all of you who have been praying, giving, and following this amazing journey! Although our mission trip to the mountain villages took some unexpected turns, God moved in ways beyond what we could have imagined.
300 New Believers in Remote Villages!
Through the bold preaching and heartfelt testimonies of the girls, around 300 people gave their lives to Jesus—in villages where many had never even heard His name before. Yes, you read that right!
These girls, who many would consider the “least likely” to carry the Gospel, have become mighty warriors for Christ. And though the trip was short—just over one day—the eternal impact is immeasurable.
Heartbreak and Hope: The Story Behind the Trip
Just before they were to set out, a terrible tragedy struck Pastor Saati’s family. His younger brother, only 27 years old, was found dead along a lonely road on his way to work. This heartbreaking loss delayed the mission and left Pastor Saati with the heavy burden of caring for his brother’s widow and three young children.
👉 Please pray for them—their situation is desperate, and they need God’s comfort and provision.
In light of this tragedy, Pastor Joy stepped in to lead the team, while Pastor Saati’s wife, Mary, courageously chose to go as well. The team included:
- Six girls from the house
- Two male pastors
- Kalpana, a neighbor and dear friend of the ministry
In fact, twice as many girls wanted to go, but space and resources limited the number. Still, their zeal is unstoppable!
Taking the Gospel Where No One Had Gone Before
The team carried 500 printed Gospel tracts (prepared ahead of time) to share as they gave their testimonies. All of them were handed out—with many more people asking for copies.
In just over a day, the team:
✅ Preached openly in three villages
✅ Went house to house, leading entire families to Christ
✅ Witnessed about 300 people surrendering to Jesus, many for the very first time

Because of the remote and rugged nature of these mountain villages—where even basic accommodations are nonexistent—the mission had to be swift. Yet God’s Spirit moved powerfully, and now a foothold for the Kingdom has been planted in a region previously untouched by the Gospel.
“Go and make disciples of all nations…” — Matthew 28:19
The Girls: Bold, Fearless, and on Fire!
These young women—often seen as outcasts or “nobodies” in their culture—have been set ablaze for Jesus. They returned overflowing with joy and faith that is now “off the charts.”
Even more beautiful? Another group of girls is already lining up to go! They know that although much has been done, over 10,000 people still live in those mountains, waiting to hear the Good News.
Another trip is already in the works, but we need help to make it happen.
Why We Must Remain Discreet
I wish I could share photos of the girls and Pastor Joy. We have many beautiful pictures—of them preaching, praying, and traveling. But for their safety, these images cannot be made public.
The risks of persecution are real and present. Please continue to pray for their protection and boldness.
Revival in India: It’s Already Beginning
For years, many have prayed for revival in India—a nation where Christians are often persecuted, harassed, and kept poor to stifle the growth of the Church. But let me encourage you: God’s work cannot be stopped!
All over India, people are coming to Christ, even if the world doesn’t notice. And now, girls of humble status—unlearned, overlooked, and outcast—are being used to win entire communities for Jesus.
“And they took note that these men [these girls] had been with Jesus.” — Acts 4:13
“But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise… God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the strong.” — 1 Corinthians 1:27
What’s Next? And How Can You Help?
We are praying and planning for the next mission trip to these villages. There’s a hunger for the Gospel that has only just been awakened.
If you feel led to:
🙏 Pray for the new believers, that they grow strong in faith.
