Our first outreach trip to Andhra Pradesh, located on the east coast of southern India, in January 2026 began with a two-day meeting in the town of Nellore.
A Fruitful Beginning in Nellore
Each evening we ministered to an open gathering of believers and unbelievers, proclaiming the message of the Cross and its transforming power. The meetings were marked by deep attentiveness as people from various backgrounds gathered to hear the Gospel message.
On the second morning, we conducted a pastors’ conference that was well attended by nearly 60 pastors from Nellore and the surrounding regions. We ministered on the subject How to Pass from Curse to Blessing, a message that resonated deeply with many who began identifying spiritual hindrances over their families and ministries. The teaching led to moments of personal deliverance and breakthrough.
One pastor shared a moving testimony:
“I've been working with so many invisible, unidentifiable barriers in my life that I fought against but never seemed able to get through. Today, I have learnt that it was nothing but a curse over my life. Thank you for helping me identify and break this curse over my life.”
The impact of this conference was deeply encouraging as pastors experienced freedom and renewed hope for their ministries.
A Four-Day Ministry Marathon Across Andhra Pradesh
Our second outreach in mid-January was an intensive series of seven meetings - including six conferences in the towns of Vijayawada, Jaggaiyapet, Guntur, Rajamundhry, and Vizag. Over just four days, we ministered to more than 2,000 people, primarily pastors, leaders, and ministry workers.
Vijayawada – Teaching on The Divine Exchange
The journey began in Vijayawada with a large gathering of nearly 1,000 pastors and co-workers belonging to a ministry with hundreds of church branches spread across Andhra Pradesh. Since the lead pastor was scheduled to preach in the afternoon, we were entrusted with the morning session and ministered on The Divine Exchange.
The message brought deep revelation concerning the work of the Cross and its practical impact in believers’ lives. One pastor testified:
“I've been a pastor for many years and have heard and preached hundreds of sermons, but never have I heard a teaching so deep and with such clarity on the impact that the Cross has in our lives. It has brought me a great deliverance in my spirit.”
The hunger and openness of the people created a strong foundation for future ministry partnerships.
Jaggaiyapet – Thanksgiving as the Key to Receiving
Immediately after the meeting, we travelled nearly three hours to Jaggaiyapet for another conference among pastors and ministry workers. Here, we ministered on Thanksgiving as an Attitude to Receive from God, bringing a fresh biblical perspective to many who had primarily understood prayer through petition rather than gratitude.
The message deeply challenged and encouraged many leaders. One pastor remarked:
“I learnt an important lesson today — the attitude of gratitude creates the atmosphere for miracles.”
It was encouraging to witness renewed understanding take root among church leaders.
Guntur – Freedom Through The Divine Exchange
The following day, we ministered in Guntur, where more than 150 pastors and leaders had gathered under the city’s pastors’ fellowship. Several influential pastors with international ministries attended, including some who had travelled from neighbouring Telangana.

Once again, the teaching on The Divine Exchange brought profound ministry and freedom. Many eagerly testified at the conclusion, sharing the inner liberty they had experienced. One international evangelist particularly reflected on how the teaching gave him a new understanding of the emotional sufferings of Jesus and made the reality of the Cross deeply personal to him.
The impact of this meeting was so significant that it opened doors for us to return in June 2026 to minister to an even larger gathering of pastors and leaders.
Vijayawada (Second Conference) – A Hunger for the Word
The following morning, we returned to another region of Vijayawada where a pastors’ fellowship had organised a conference for leaders who had been unable to attend the earlier gathering.
Due to travel delays, we arrived later than expected and were informed that our teaching time would be shortened. However, once the ministry began, the response was extraordinary. Approximately an hour into the message, the Chairman interrupted—not to conclude the meeting, but to announce that the pastors desired the full teaching and nothing less. Tea was arranged for the attendees, and the conference continued far beyond lunchtime.
For nearly an hour and a half beyond schedule, pastors sat without leaving, eagerly taking notes and absorbing every word. Many testified to experiencing deliverance and renewed courage. One pastor particularly shared that the teaching had brought freedom from deep discouragement and fear among many leaders.
Remarkably, this meeting also opened unexpected doors for future ministry opportunities in West Bengal.
Rajamundhry – Learning to Walk in Authority
The delay in Vijayawada meant a rushed departure for Rajamundhry, where we faced a demanding five-hour drive. Although we had hoped to arrive by 6 p.m., we reached close to 8 p.m. to find a large gathering of pastors patiently waiting.
Despite the late hour, hunger for the Word remained strong. Ministering on the subject of Authority, the pastors listened intently for nearly two hours, interacting enthusiastically and carefully recording notes.
One pastor testified:
“This teaching transformed my outlook on who I am in Christ. It helped me realise that I needed to go from praying in fear to speaking in authority.”
He further shared that understanding his authority over the powers of darkness brought boldness and confidence into his spirit that very night.
Vizag – Deliverance, Healing, and Freedom
Our final ministry destination was the city of Vizag. After travelling with only about four hours of sleep, we arrived to another packed gathering of leaders from one section of the city.
Ministering once again on The Divine Exchange, one portion particularly touched many hearts: the truth that Jesus died so that we might have life. It became evident that many attendees had been quietly struggling with a deep fear of death. Although the reasons varied and remained unclear, many experienced release and peace as we prayed at the conclusion of the meeting.
That same evening, we ministered in a suburb of Vizag to a gathering of new believers. The Lord moved powerfully in their midst, bringing healing, deliverance, and freedom from demonic oppression. It was a deeply encouraging conclusion to an intense ministry journey.
A Journey Worth Every Challenge
This outreach was physically demanding, involving seven meetings in just four days, extensive travel, late nights, and minimal rest. Throughout the journey, my husband, Danny, battled severe illness, including a persistent cough and wheezing, making each day a genuine spiritual and physical battle.
Yet despite the adversity, the faithfulness of God was evident at every stop. The ministry of the Word brought deep transformation, healings and deliverances took place, pastors experienced freedom and renewed vision, and countless lives were impacted by the message of the Cross.

By the end of the journey, we realised that we had ministered to more than 2,000 people in a very short period of time. It was an exhausting yet deeply fulfilling outreach—one marked by the powerful movement of the Spirit of God and the unmistakable fruit of transformed lives.
To God alone be the glory.
