After the 2-night crusade the NJE team finally departed Amritsar and went to
            Ludhiana. The crusade, once again, was done at the yard of IPC Bible Seminary in
            Ludhiana. A great surprise took place when the Director of the Seminary (the chief of
            crusade committee) nullified the right of NJE to preach the words of God because there
            was a sudden change in the crusade pattern from the NJE-sponsored becoming the
            IPC-sponsored with the preachers from the IPC New Delhi. The tight schedule was not
            possible  to  be  adjusted  for  giving  NJE  the  preaching  session.  This  day-and-night
            crusade had lasted for the first day with NJE team attending the crusade basically only
            as the ‘honorable guests’. On the second day, a wonder suddenly took place at the
            Seminary. A group of pastors from Amritsar abruptly came to Ludhiana visiting the
            Seminary and joining the crusade when they heard about the NJE participation in the
            crusade. They were met and greeted by the Head of the Seminary in his office while
            the crusade was on-going at that afternoon.
                  At the moment of the changing of the IPC preacher from the first preacher to
            the second one, the Head of the Seminary requested some moments and announced
            immediately that there would be a testimony from the prophetic woman pastor from
            Amritsar. The testimony of the prophet, beside telling some healings that had taken
            place in Amritsar crusade, also explained the wonder she had seen in the crusade. She
            testified to the audiences what had been told formerly to the Seminary Head in his
            office  that  in  the  crusade  in  Amritsar  she  had  observed  the  face  of  Ev.  Andreas
            Hartanto, from Indonesia, was shining very brightly, so gleamingly and glowingly that
            she could not bear to see him any longer. She did compare his face, to some extent,
            like the Mozes’ shining face, or the glowing situation of ‘transfiguration’ of Lord Jesus,
            seen by Peter and John on Mount Tabor, Israel. She stated accordingly that the man of
            God from Jakarta was actually God’s Messenger to them. The effect of this testimony
            was really extraordinary and amazing that the Seminary Head, after the testimony,
            proposed  straightforwardly  to  all  pastors  and  congregations  who  attended  the
            meeting  to  give  chance  and  time  to  hear  the  words  of  God  through  the  God’s
            Messenger from Indonesia. So finally it did take place, Ev. Andreas Hartanto conveyed
            God’s message to the audiences, followed by pastor Cryspus, the Singaporean pastor
            brought  as  NJE  Team  member,  each  gave  the  sermon  for  20-25  minutes,  as  re-
            arranged finally by IPC. Hallelujah! God’s “show of force” in defending and lifting NJE
            was really and actually amazing, very spectacular. Wowww…praise and all glory to Lord
            Jesus Christ!
                  The  third  trip  to  India  instead  of  going  to  the  northern  part  the  NJE  team
            travelled to the south-western part of India i.e. to Nagpur and Chandrapur via Mumbai
            in  2010. This  time  the  friendship  mission  trip was  coordinated  by  the  local  pastor
                                                 53
