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
