India, with a population of over 1.4 billion people, remains a nation where Christians are a small minority. In the midst of this vast population, one pastor chose to expand Christianity through a simple but powerful strategy of putting love into action.
Dr. Satish Kumar, founder of Calvary Temple, began his ministry in 2005 with just 24 people. Instead of relying on conventional methods alone, he focused on meeting practical needs. He understood that love is most powerful when it is seen, felt, and experienced.
Every Sunday, the church organizes large-scale feeding programs, providing tens of thousands of meals to people from all walks of life. Teams of volunteers rise early to prepare food, ensuring that no one who comes leaves hungry. Beyond this, the ministry established a hospital to provide affordable medical care to those who otherwise could not access it.
Through these consistent acts of compassion, hearts began to open. What started as a small gathering steadily grew into a congregation of over 300,000 people, with thousands added monthly.
Dr. Satish’s approach reveals a powerful truth: meeting people at the point of their need creates a pathway for them to encounter Christ.
We must use every possible expression of love to draw souls to God—including praying for the lost, feeding the poor, clothing the naked, caring for the sick, and preaching the Gospel to all men.
Romans 13:8 declares, “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another.” This reveals that love is not optional—it is a divine obligation placed on every believer. It is a debt we must continually pay.
Love is the fulfillment of God’s law. As Romans 13:10 states, “Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.” When we walk in love, we align ourselves with God’s nature, because 1 John 4:8 says, “God is love.”
As children of God, His nature of love is our universal identity.
Jesus emphasized this in John 13:34–35, “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you… By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples.” Our love is therefore the visible proof of our faith.
Loving souls and winning them to Christ is the most profitable venture any Christian can embark on. While every other investment ends on this earth, soul-winning continues to yield dividends in eternity.
Today, as we come to the end of the month of April, let us become more determined to intentionally pay the “debt” of love to everyone we come in contact with.
As we do so, we place ourselves on Heaven’s eternal payroll and enjoy divine increase on every side.
PRAYER:
Lord, I thank You for bringing me to the end of this month. Please grant me the grace to focus on the divine mission of loving souls into Your Kingdom and being a blessing wherever I go, in Jesus’ Name.
