THE SONG OF INDIA!       DFO1096  13/10/81

         1. COMMONWEALTHERS WITH HOME SUPPORT ARE MUCH NEEDED IN INDIA TODAY. You are the only ones who can stay there for any length of time. It is shocking that in one of the greatest nations on Earth with one of the largest populations, nearly a billion people, we have only 22 Homes in only eight of its many great cities, some of which have never been touched, including Hyderabad which the Lord mentioned to us specifically as having a Maharishi who would receive us. (See Letter No.202.)
         2. And although our MWM radio programme reaches throughout the nation & we have had thousands of responses with hundreds of Club members, only a few teams of travelling minstrels are reaching them personally.
         3. And although it is a mighty nation far from the war danger zone & with a delightful climate & wonderful people, extremely receptive & responsive & appreciative, it is still one of the least evangelised by the Family.
         4. ALTHOUGH MOST OF IT IS VERY POOR, OF COURSE, & IN GREAT DARKNESS, nevertheless that's what we're here for, to bring the light into the midst of darkness & to preach the Gospel to the poor, as Jesus Himself said His calling was, & surely it is ours as well.
         5. Why is it so few of you want to go to India when it is such a tremendous almost untouched field with so many golden opportunities & where the official nationwide language is English & the cost of living so extremely low & rents & food so cheap & transportation dirt-cheap?
         6. Yes, of course, like most poor countries of the World it is poverty-stricken, dirty, disease-ridden & demon-infested. But what poor Third-World country isn't? That's why you're needed there to help them, clean them up, heal them, cleanse them, deliver them & set them free with the Lord's love!
         7. It is our responsibility. God has given it to us, "And him that knoweth to do good & doeth it not, to him it is sin." (Ja.4:17) Aren't you Commonwealthers sinning against the Lord in failing to reach the largest member of your own Commonwealth?
         8. Her surrounding nations are hungry too & neglected also, such as Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh etc. If you can't go to India why not try them? But Commonwealthers, India is your particular responsibility, where you can go & stay there as no one else can.
         9. WHY NOT? WHY DON'T YOU? GOD IS GOING TO HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM, & unless you reach them with His love, their blood is going to be upon your hands! You British, you Australians, you New Zealanders & other Commonwealthers, why don't you go to the greatest member of your own Commonwealth?--India!
         10. They're begging & pleading for your help & the door is wide open & the field is tremendous & the opportunities golden!--The country is beautiful, the people wonderful, the climate delightful, tropical, the cost of living minimal & the need immense! Why don't you go to India?
         11. All they need is you, all they need is helpers, the harvest is already white unto the harvest. "Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers into His harvest." (Mt.9:38)--And the first one He'll send is you!--You Commonwealthers, because with good home support you can stay there indefinitely.
         12. Your only excuse for staying home is to raise your support before you go. Be sure you do that, because you will need it there. It's a very poor country, & if ever you needed it anywhere it's India. Give the burden of India to your homefolks! Give the vision of India to your supporters, friends, contacts, fish, kings, queens, relatives & our Homes who are still at home in the rich countries of the Commonwealth. Set them on fire for India!
         13. IN CLOSING LET ME SHARE WITH YOU WHAT WAS REALLY OUR FIRST CALL TO INDIA CLEAR BACK IN MARCH OF 1972, nearly ten years ago, which was only partly published in "Flee as a Bird!", No.160B. Read!:
         14. "The Song of India", "The Call of India"! (Sings:)
         "Unnumbered diamonds lie within her caverns!
         Unnumbered pearls within her golden shores!--
         O mystic India wondrous fair!--
         Precious children that Jesus wants in His crown!
         Pearls of rare price in that land!
         Precious sweet people.

         15. "Maybe we can be first missionaries to India? I've always loved India! I want to live there, I want to go & live with the poor people of India. I belong in India. I'm an Indian. I came from India & I want to go back home. My people came from Israel, but I came from India! (Abrahim is speaking!)
         16. "India has already joined the winning side! Lovers of peace rather than war, & lovers of the poor. Have compassion upon poor people! Indira Ghandi is a woman of God & a lover of peace!
         17. "I always wanted to be missionary to India & I want to go. Mrs. Ghandi is a good woman. She loves & helps the poor, has spirit of Jesus. We need to go to India in the place of my forefathers. I want to go home to the land of my fathers where I can die in peace away from these bad ugly Americans!" (160B:14,15.--Read it all if you want a surprise!--Wow!)
         18. SO THERE'S YOUR CALL OF INDIA, OUR FIRST CALL OF INDIA!--The Song of India, obviously from Abrahim himself, our guardian angel & spirit-helper of many years of faithfulness, true guidance & direction!
         19. Will you heed his call? Will you answer his plea for India? Will you obey God's call? Will you have compassion upon its poor & its hungry to give them the greatest help of all, Jesus? Its goddess is waiting for your love for its people. The Lord is waiting for you to love Him through them, & wants to love them through you. When will you go? Today the door is open & the need is great.--Tomorrow will be too late!
         20. Answer the call now! In Jesus' name, amen.--Amen? PTL! GBAKY for India!
