Alfred Testimony
Greetings in the name of
the lord and saviour Jesus Christ. God is good! Thanks be to God who has called
even me and given his ministry and visions. We have read that God has lifted
David from being shepherd to a king; Joseph from prison to a ruling authority
but do we know that God can do the same things even now. For all those who
halfheartedly or hesitantly say yes and to those who vehemently say no here is
the answer to your doubts. Our God is great and awesome in his power. I was born
to very pious spiritual parents and they dedicatively and carefully brought me
up spiritually. My childhood days were filled with lot of prizes by scoring
high ranks in bible exams, quiz and competitions and I was regular to my church
meetings. As my youthful days came I started drifting away from God and started
having bad company. But the God who chooses us from the mother's womb will not
be quiet seeing the prayers of the parents. One day my mom asked me to go to
night tarrying meeting. I went half-heartedly but as the prayer started I got
into it and spirit of God came and filled me mightily. I totally forgot where I
was as the presence covered me and when I opened my eyes it was 5am in the
morning. When I opened my eyes I felt something new in me and everything
appeared new for me. After that the lord filled me with his spirit and gifts.
We prayed for 3 months continuously for whole night. I thank Bro. Raphael a
mighty man of God who led me into this marvellous experience. I was young and
about to enter into 10th STD. From there the lord did many miracles in my life.
Before I entered the 10th STD I prayed to God and he gave me I Sam 2:8 as a
promise. I promised that I'll get a car and write this verse on it when I had
not even had a bicycle for me. He did greater things in my studies and enabled
me to study highest degrees and mulitilanguages. He lifted me in the work
place. As I determined God fulfilled and gave me a car in my first Job and I
printed this verse as I promised. What a mighty God we serve!
God blessed my professional
life and lifted me at the very young age. I have travelled to many countries.
All this was by his grace for the boy who did his schoolings in ordinary Govt.
school. While I was working I was also doing the work of God which came after
lot of struggle and hesitance. But God showed many signs and wonders to start a
youth ministry and the ministry got registered in 2009. God led it wonderfully.
Many youths got saved and grew in spiritual life. Until 2012 I was working in a
MNC with high position and good salary. In that year Good Friday God started
dealing with me in a unique way I couldn't respond as the demand was high and I
went into the presence of God for 2 days. During that night the lord showed me
a dream and I couldn't understand. I left it as such. When I was about to wind
up and come back home God spoke to me "Do you understand the dream that
I've shown you. These are the things that you are going to do in future".
Obeying that voice I resigned my Job and now doing the ministry and service
with full commitment. The lord has been revealing many visions and work plans
in this ministry. I'm sure the one who has called me is faithful and he can
lead me till the very end. Continue to pray for me and the great work of God so
that we can do the things that we are called for.
With Prayers,
Alfred Benjamin in Christ.

About gaw
Gideon’s
Army of Worship is a youth ministry, to help young ones to remember their
creator in their days of youth, under Devasitham Ministries which is a
registered body with Govt of India. We focus completely on youths among various
environments from schools, colleges to corporate by developing their character,
personalities and encouraging them to create worshipping styles for god during
all our programs. So far many hundreds have been touched and had a great
transformation in their lives by the grace of God.
GAW
operates with the caption “praises never ceases” and with foundational values
of prayer, faith and sacrifice. We believe strongly that worship is not just a
service or style but it’s the way of life. God is looking for the true
worshipper who really loves him and is willing to take his
power to
the nations. GAW believes in preparing those young true worshippers by taking
them into the next level of the spirit where they will start using the
authority and operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Our first
mission to Orissa happened in June 2012 along with White cross ministries. It
was great experience and was at awe when we saw the work of God done in such a
remote place. The food, customs, language and the life style was entirely
different and our GAW members were quick to adapt to this situation. Thriving
souls amidst lack of basic amenities like roads, transport, schools, colleges,
medical stores… etc opened our hearts and mind to take the love of Jesus to the
unreached areas. Spirits of missionaries and native peoples love inspired us
and made the moments lighter. We served 7 tribal regions of Koluva, Katinga,
Goberkutty, Kondhakeri, Kakkathunga, Dekaponga and Adava. God did wonderful
work by performing many signs and wonders. Many were slained in the spirit and
received a fresh anointing in their life. The first evening meeting happened in
a dim light as the team started ministering the spirit of God moved in the
place and many received the new touch of God. Particularly to reach a place we
walked three and half hours and there we ministered to the few people. When we
came down the mountain the village at the end came to know about us and around
200 people gathered so quickly and spread the mats in the road to ask more
about the lord and requested us to pray. We saw a great spirit within the
people.
Goberkutty
when we started the prayer we had in the verandha of a house. Spirit of God
asked us to have this in the outside. I asked them to put mats outside and we
started ministering. While it was on, many started gathering. One youth was
standing at a long distance and was hearing the songs and message. At the end
of the message the prayer call was given. This youth ran a fast and stood first
requesting a prayer. Bro asked him whether he wants a touch and power of God.
He said yes and as the prayer went when the spirit of God started moving he was
slained and spirit of God asked him to pick for all him up and again he was
slained. The whole village witnessed this and many turned for prayers bringing
their children. Suddenly the place was vibrant but we couldn’t pray as we have
to leave before 6pm due to restricted areas laws. The final day GAW members
cooked biriyani for the entire village and the people were served food. It was
a great blessing to minister among these tribal people.
Kandhamal
was more in news in 2011 due to the communal violence as mobs burnt churches
and drove the ministers away. There is no church in kandhamal. The people of
God are worshiping under a banyan tree. We have planned to build a church in
Kandhamal.
The
literacy rate is too poor due to the lack of awareness on importance of
education and also due to the lack of transport, which de-motivated the
children to travel a long distance for their schools. To sort out this issue,
the project team has decided to build a solar powered study centre in “Koluva”,
training centre in “Adava” and to train a person from the tribal community as a
mentor to ensure sustainable development.

report on “SHEKINAH”
INTRODUCTION:
Human
beings are attracted to the "fancy" or technically speaking
"Glory" in anything they visualize. The beauty of men and women;
serenity of the nature; the wonders of architecture; the scintillating
universe; the color spread in underneath oceans..etc are some to be mentioned
in the long list. There's no one in this world can say that we don't admire or
struck at awe when they behold this. But just think about how would it be, the
glory or fancy of the one who created all this things. SHEKINAH is an
initiative to seek this cause, the glory of god to be visually seen or felt by
human beings. There are plenty of examples to show how the Glory of God has
been manifested in the olden days and the same God is same today, tomorrow and
forever.
Moses
went on to the Mount Sinai to spend 40days in the presence of God and people
outside the camp were able to see the glory of God descending on the mount.
When Moses came down after spending the time with the lord, people were unable
to face him since the glory of god is shining through his face. This is the
reality of the presence of God by seeing with our natural eyes.
