FRIENDS OF TOUCHING ASIA Our brothers and sisters in Orissa India are doing a fantastic work with very small means. The ministry started 1997 shortly after I met Pastor Pratap and we decided to work together. We started with five evangelists\/pastors in one district but are now in ten districts of the state. When you know the background of the work there (one of the most difficult areas in India where they have suffered much persecution and even being killed) it is really fascinating to see the growing power of the Gospel. For many years they have faithfully been ministering…<\/p>\n<\/div>Read More<\/span><\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n<\/article>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n
