Guest guest Posted March 14, 1999 Report Share Posted March 14, 1999 My mother sent it to me: Hare Krishna, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. This is how Christianity is being spread!!!!!! Kumbha Mela - the " greatest Hindu religious fair," - is now a target for Christian conversion in India. http://www.ad2000.org/re81030.htm 1998 Kumbh Mela Outreach at Haridwar, North India A PRAISE REPORT Outreach/Literature Distribution The team firmly believed that, as local fellowships and ministries combined their resources and efforts, the result would be a powerful and effective outreach to millions of pilgrims. With this in mind, certain strategies were employed... Tracts were designed specifically for distribution during the Mela, both for the common man and for the intellectual. Two million of these were printed in Hindi and thousands in other Indian languages. Railway and bus stations along the major highways into Haridwar were designated as the main sites for tract distribution, plus 30 key neighbouring cities were designated centres for outreach, which was carried out by teams from India and abroad. Over 600 young people, broken up into 65 teams, participated in these efforts during April and May. In thousands of cases, distribution led to conversations. The results were very encouraging, as openness and receptivity to the gospel was unprecedented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
