Wild Fire Tribe reaching out

Wild Fire Tribe , Extends its network in two major cities of U.P namely Lucknow and Kanpur , I am really excited to update you all on what recently happened in faith.. I Believe God allowed this to happen as there was nothing really happening in terms of Outreach and reaching out to the lost. We were able to break through the barriers of traditions and customs allowing the Churches (People) to understand also comprehend that one can not confine God in a box.

We solely went in Faith to these cities to bless the people & our land India through Prayers and by Worshipping in public places, Which was a break through in a spiritual realm (that's what we experienced), also sounded like God was pleased with what we were doing connecting, uniting, encouraging and giving leads to many individuals also assisting them in understanding the concept of Churches without barriers..

They came like an Angels and helped repair the dilapidated building that has been used extensively for various programs in the slum of Delhi. We are thankful to Jay and His team from Boise.
