“TO GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE” – Rambaikulam-Nedunkerni / Vanni…click to view more…

GOD HAS COMMANDED US TO GO WHERE NO MAN HAS EVER GONE BEFORE.

Nedunkerni is a war ravaged region in the Vanni district. Nestled deep in this township, surrounded by paddy fields is the village of Rambaikulam.  Many who have made this their home, after the conclusion of the war, were once fighters who bore arms with the Separatists in their struggle for an independent Tamil State. They live in make shift dwellings and farm the surrounding lands to eke out a living. Many of them are battle-hardened Ex-combatants who have been pardoned and released by the Sri Lankan government after their rehabilitation.

These humble village folk are opening their hearts and their homes to the Gospel of Peace, proclaimed by the Lord Jesus Christ. Once they were ready and willing to lay down their lives for the Separatists’ cause; But now they have laid down their weapons and taken up the cross, and are willing to live and to die for their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We had three days of meetings over the weekend, proclaimed the Gospel, and have set up a base to continue serving these impoverished people.
