One Small Worshipper in India

Mimi, from Mizoram, northeast India, was a leader who, at the point of burn-out believed God wanted her to do a School of Worship. She was accepted to the very first SOW at the “Beach Center” YWAM base in Chennai.
Though Mimi was a small and somewhat shy woman, she had a big and grateful heart for God; you see, Mimi had been paralyzed from the waist down but God touched her and healed her completely!
After completing her SOW, she returned to the northeast and God began to use her to reach the youth in her city through crusades she organized. The crusades had a strong focus on worship and prayer and increasing numbers of young people were touched by the power of the Holy Spirit.
The following year Beach Center sent a SOW outreach team to work with her. This team ministered throughout Mizoram, seeing churches transformed through the simple but bold ministry of worship. During the SOW outreach the team saw many, many people come to the Lord and be delivered from demonic spirits.
As Mimi’s ministry continued to grow she established centers for ongoing ministry and began to gather Christians from her entire state, organizing 24x7 prayer and fasting times. They began to pray for their state which, even though it is known as a “Christian State”, has the highest incidence of drug abuse and AIDS.
God has opened doors for this small worshipping woman to minister to people in positions of high authority in the government, including the Chief Minister. In fact, the Chief Minister was present at the official opening of her Prayer Center in the heart of the state capital.
This amazing small woman now has a TV program now that reaches millions throughout her state, Burma and other Far East countries. The TV programs are full of testimonies, worship and clear, biblical preaching. Numerous viewers have given their hearts to God and been healed of many ailments. Our YWAM teams have joined her on this program, calling India to worship God!
Praise God for a small, faithful servant like Mimi and join us in prayer for her ministry to stay strong and effective. She is a worshipper in spirit and in truth!
