The Call for Multiplying House Churches — E.A. Abraham

Greetings to you in the mighty name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The land which is known as the graveyard of missionaries in India and when the Holy Spirit begin to move the Lord makes the impossible into possible.

This morning, that's the testimony you are going to hear. By the way, I speak British English, so if you could not follow me, could not understand me, just show your finger so I can repeat it. That's the only way I can help you.

Thank you brother Fred for giving me this opportunity to come and speak in the middle of all of you. And as you heard, our dear brother Greg, who is my host, and also for last one week my taxi driver taking me all around.

And we had a wonderful time together and the Lord has really given us a wonderful time. I never met him before. Through one of my friends introduced me to him and he trusted me. You know that they have two small babies, so the sister was taking care of the babies and as an international man there she has no idea what this fellow want to eat and drink.

But she gladly accepted me and taken care of me very well. Thank you brother Greg for your hospitality and your care. God's ministry is always a team, team ministry. Jesus never wanted to do the things by himself.

Even from the beginning that was God's plan of teamwork. Many times we don't understand the spirit of teamwork and that is the heart of God and that is the way the Lord does the things. And so after I came here I came to know the wonderful things about this fellowship.

And this morning I met a sister she spent 20 years in the state of India. Then another sister came and told me that another sister is here. I didn't see her but 40 years spent in India another sister 20 years in India.

India’s Need for the Gospel

And it is wonderful to see the missionaries here. Hallelujah. God loves all of us and it's a great joy to see and using us in different way in different places. India is such a needy place. Do you know how many million gods and goddesses are in India?

300 million. Do you know what is the population of India? 135 ,000 here. India we are having about 1 .3 billion. So the people of India thought one god cannot control all these things. So they begin to add one after another, one after another.

So now we have 36 million gods and goddesses. Of course people give different number because nobody knows. Every day new gods come up. Like you people make new houses. The same way in India new gods and new gurus coming up.

So nobody have no idea how many are there. But that is the likeness of India. They do not know the living God. The God who has the full power who can save them, who can deliver them, who can give the eternal life.

That is a great challenge in India. So when I want to think about India think about this big population. Maybe sometime I make a fun. Maybe that's the reason I become short because no space to grow. But God loves India.

Have you read that word India? Have you seen the word India in the Bible? You have seen? Ok. Anybody else? Seen the word India in the Bible? Very good. Give a good clap for this. Somebody is here who knows that.

Yes. That's good. Ok. So the word India is in the Bible of Book of Esther two times. So I believe the Lord loves India. God sent his disciple to India. But you know because of the stronghold area, the darkness after 2000 years still Christian population in the country is, according to the government it is only less than 3%.

But by God's grace we are about 6 now. It is not officially recorded. But things are growing. People are coming to the Lord. So one of my prayers, Lord I want to see at least 20 people come to the Lord before I die.

So I don't know how long I am going to live. I am 53 and my grandparents, they lived up to 98 and 99. So I have no idea how long I am going to live. But that is not my concern. My concern is Lord before you take me, I want to see at least 20 people come to the Lord and worship Jesus as the living God.

That's my prayer. I do fasting and prayer and ask seeking God when I move around the streets, I go around, when I travel in train or flight or in the bus or in the motorbike or in the car. That's my prayer, Lord.

I want to see before I die at least 20 people know and not only know, to worship Jesus as their God. So this morning do you want to join with me to do that thing? The other day when I came here, I really enjoyed the fellowship here.

The spirit of prayer. So just came for one hour prayer. Not much introduction, not much these things. Just get into the prayer and spend that one hour in prayer. That was beautiful and excellent. I want to encourage you to keep on doing it through prayer of God's people.

God makes things, the impossible into possible. So I want to encourage you this morning, whatever the Lord put in your heart, just keep on praying for that. You don't need to calculate whether it is going to happen or not.

You don't need to do that calculation or doing all these things. But trust God and what is the Holy Spirit giving in your heart? That is, He wants to do that things to happen. When I came to the Lord in the year 1979, I will tell you the story how I came to the Lord, that is another story.

Abraham’s Prayer and Ministry Calling

But after I came to the Lord, when the Lord called me for the ministry, no idea, but the Holy Spirit put me in my heart just to pray, Lord bless me as you bless Abraham. You know my name is Abraham, no?

I am Abraham. So I didn't know about all the theology and philosophy of the Bible. I know what it was really mean for. But when I was sitting in the prayer time, the Lord put that word in my heart to pray, Lord bless me as you bless Abraham.

That was simple prayer without knowing any idea. What I am going to do? What is going to make? What is the sense of it? What is the meaning of it? No idea. But whenever the Lord put it in my heart, I began to pray.

And today, after 32 years, by God's grace, humbly I would like to say, we are about 25 ,000 people worshipping the Lord in different regions of India. And about 250 staff working under me, which I never thought.

It was never I could imagine that things is going to happen. But the Lord sent Abraham to other nations and God sent, through you all the nations will be blessed. And I am born and brought up in southern part of India, no idea that time where I am going to do the work.

Of course I committed for ministry but I have no idea where I am going to be, what I am going to do. Nothing. But I just obey the Lord. The Lord put that things in my heart. I just began to pray. So this morning before, I go to further.

I want to tell you that. Maybe you are a young man or old. Young woman or old woman. Doesn't make the difference. Because God doesn't have grandchildren. God has only the children. Is that right? You may have grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

That's OK. But in the sight of God, he has only children. So we all are equally balanced. Equally loved. Equally divided the things. The blessings. So let's claim and keep on praying for that. So as you are going to pray for India, so I like every Wednesday when you come, keep India and keep on praying.

So I want to give you this morning. So that's a nice gift to remind you, keep on praying. India needs more and more prayers. How many of you believe, if you pray, India will change? And India will love Jesus.

Amen. God honor our faith. Always I tell my church, when you lift your hands up, it goes up. Amen. And God loves it. Lifting our hands and thanking and praising and trusting God. Lord, I love you. I trust you.

That's the thing God loves and makes the impossible thing into possible through our lives. So again, thank you for giving this opportunity. I'm Abraham. Can you imagine my wife's name? Yes, that's true.

My wife's name is Sarah. And I have two children, Princey and Prince. So it is easy to remember. Princey and Prince. We as a family love the Lord and my daughter did her masters in counseling, two years training in USA and now came back to India and serving the Lord with us.

My son did his MBA and is looking for a job. And both of them, they love the Lord. And I told them, I will send you other countries. Just go and see it, get training, but come back and settle in India because India needs more people.

So both of my children, I prayed and they also committed to continue their life in India and serve the Lord in India. So I was born and brought up in southern part of India. That's called Kerala. Kerala, when you come to the airport, you see a welcome banner, welcome sign saying, welcome to God's own country.

It's a nice place, beautiful. All 12 months you see the greenery and a wonderful place to visit. So if you come for a tour, as a tourist to India, you must visit Kerala, okay. That's a nice place. So I was born and brought up there.

Suicide Crisis and God’s Word in Ecclesiastes

And in the year 1979, I completed my high school. High school means in India, 10th grade. Then I want to continue my education, but my parents didn't have the money to send me to the college. So one of my uncle who lives in Bangalore, a neighboring state, when you see the IT people, mostly they are trained in Bangalore, even if you see here.

So I was called there. I was so much encouraged. I was having a big dream because I'm going to a big city where I can get the best education and make a good future. So I went there and two years I spent, nothing happened.

Totally discouraged. No idea what to do. I was feeling shame to go back to Kerala to meet my friends because already they completed two years. I went to a big city, could not have anything. And I was feeling so ashamed to meet them and I was not seeing any hope here to continue my life.

Finally I was disappointed at that level and I wanted to commit suicide. So the day I was sitting and planning, there is a train at 5pm, put my head under the running train and kill myself. So I planned I was praying, I mean not praying, I was going through all the emotions, feelings.

Then after 4 I thought I want to go and find out a place somewhere I can lay down and nobody could see me. Then again a thought came to my mind, I spent two years, a lot of my neighbors they know me because I was working in the grocery store of my uncle, so a lot of my neighbors they know me very well so if somebody find out then my uncle will be in trouble parents will be in trouble, you know the police case and all.

So maybe better to write a suicide note. So I want to write a suicide note. I was in search of a sheet of paper. It happened my grandfather's Bible was there. I was a Catholic when I was born and brought up in that way.

So under the Bible there was some paper. So I want to take a sheet of paper, lift the Bible. I heard a voice, my son, open and read it. When I heard this one, you know that states speak different language, my mother tongue is different, but I heard the voice in my own mother tongue.

And so I put it back and looked around and want to know who is that. So I opened the door, I could not see anybody. I thought something psychologically affected my mind. So I had to write and go, otherwise I will miss the train.

In a hurry came back to take the paper, lift the Bible. I heard the same voice, my son, open and read it. The second time I realized this is something from the Lord. As a big Bible I do not know what to read.

I just opened like this then I got the verse from the book of Ecclesiastes 7, 16 to 18 and it says, do not be over righteous. Why do you destroy yourself? Again it says, do not be over wicked. Do not be a fool.

Why die before your time? And the following verse says, it is good to grasp this and not to remove your hands. One who fears God will avoid all extremes. Two questions, why do you destroy yourself? In that great confusion, the Lord was so gracious to ask me directly, why die before your time?

What a great God we serve. How much He loves and takes care of us. This morning anybody is here as a person of discouragement, I want to encourage you. Ask the Lord, God has something to speak to you.

This is God's word. And God speaks to His people through His word. Not only to receive, but believe and trust. That will bring the changes in your life. You may be hearing God's word for years, but you may not be trusting it.

You may be putting your own mind in a different way. God doesn't want that kind of thinking. God wants blindly to believe, to trust. I thanked the Lord that day, just I knelt down and I prayed, Lord, if you love me, take care of my life.

Because I am not a praying person, I don't have any fancy words to say. Just said, Lord, if you love me, take care of my life. That was in 1979. From 1979 till today, the Lord is taking care of my life.

Leaving the Post Office for Missionary Service

Then after a few months, I got a job in postal department. You know what, 1 .3 billion people, once you get a government job, they feel very good, lucky and nice because get good job. And I was also feeling so good because God not only loves me, he gave me a good job.

I was enjoying it, going to the church and growing in our spiritual fellowship. Then after six months, the Lord said, son, I saved you not to work in the post office, but go to the place where the people never heard of my name.

That was not a good news for me because of much struggle. I got a job. Now the Lord is asking me to leave it and go. I said, no. I want to be in the church. I want to give my tithe. I want to be an active member in the church.

No way to leave it and go. I never felt that I want to do the ministry. And I never wanted to do it. And that struggle went on another three years. Three more years. Finally, the Lord led me to get my job and commit my life for God's ministry.

And then I joined with Operation Mobilization OM. Then that was a good time of training. Then I felt my calling is a missionary call. I need to get training to do the missionary work. So I was looking into that.

I find out a Bible Institute in another state of southern India. And so I joined there. That was 18 months training. Particularly giving the basic idea of the Bible. Teaching more about passion, creating passion, vision and missionary work.

So I was really enjoying doing that. Then in between somebody came to the Bible school and said, there is a state in north India having 102 million people. That means one tenth of Indian population lives in that one state of Bihar.

And the neighboring state is UP where our sister was worked. That is having a 20 of population. That means in India, two states consist 30 of Indian population. Having less than 1 Christians there.

And this one state, Bihar is known as the graveyard of missionaries in India. And that is the birthplace of Buddhism. That is the birthplace of Jainism. You know the Punjabi people here, the Sikh religion.

They have 10 gurus. The last guru was born in Bihar. The holy river of Hinduism. The Ganges river is in Bihar. The highly worshipped one of the goddesses of Hinduism. It is a mystical story. But still they believe.

Sita was born in Bihar. All stronghold area are in Bihar. That was one state. From the beginning they resist the gospel. They never wanted to hear the gospel. They killed few western missionaries. They killed a few Indians and they attacked them.

And it was so hard to work in Bihar. That's why they called it as a graveyard of missionaries. Centuries nothing was happening. So this man was sharing about that state and said only the gospel can bring the transformation.

So who will pray? Who will go? That was a big challenge. As a missionary student, I took it and I began to pray, Lord, please send someone to Bihar. So whenever it comes to my mind, I said, Lord, please send someone to Bihar.

There is no one. Then after a few months the Lord said, not someone, you must go. Oh my God. I said, Lord, no. Even the educated people gone there. Talented people, gifted people, they could not do anything.

I don't know what I can do there. But in 1984, in obedience to God's call, I went there, did not know anything. The language is different. The culture is different. In India, you go to one state to another state.

It's just like going from one country to another country. So I went there, rented a small room, started the ministry. Nobody wants to listen to the gospel. If you give them a tax, they will take it and ask, what is it?

If you have Jesus, they will smash it and throw it to your face and shout, go from here. And it was so horrible. I worked one year. I never got one chance. Somebody asked me to sit and talk. And even they don't ask me to sit on their chair.

Because they believe Christians mean the low castes, you know, the caste system. They treat Christians as the lowest caste, outcaste, untouchable. Then one day I was walking around and sharing the gospel.

And I was so thirsty, when somebody's house, I knocked the door. A tall guy came and asked, who you are, what do you want? I said, sir, would you kindly give me a glass of water? He just looked up and down and asked me, what caste you are?

I said, I am a Christian. My goodness, by hearing that word Christian, he got so upset and he was mad. He was beginning to shout. I said, sir, am I not a human being? He said, if you talk more, I will kill you.

Just hold his hand and jumped over me. So as much speed I can run, I run away from the place. And it was so hard. Though financially my family was not doing well, but I came from a big family, well-known family in my place.

Everybody gave a good respect to our family. But now I become untouchable here. It was so hard for me to digest. And two, three weeks I was crying. I said, no, I can't do anything more in this state. And like Jonah, I took my suitcase and ran away from Bihar.

I said, no more. I want to do anything in Bihar. So I went to another neighboring state called UP. That's called Uttar Pradesh. So I went there. Few people were much more better than Bihar. I was doing good.

Then the Lord said, you are not in the right place. I said, Lord, other than Bihar, I am ready to go anywhere. I committed my life as a missionary. I am fine. I am ready. But don't ask me to go back to Bihar.

That struggle went on for one year. Again the Lord very clearly spoke me to go back to Bihar. Then I said, Lord, give me a vision. Something, the people to accept me socially. I want to sit with the people.

I want to talk with the people. I don't want to be outcasted like that. Show me some vision. If you really want me to go to Bihar. Then the Lord gave me a vision to start a school. And the people, they like Christian schools.

And especially South Indian. Because they think South Indians are very brilliant. And good in English. Good people. And so I had no idea. I had never been a teacher. No idea about administration. And no fund.

And I don't know how it's going to happen. Then I asked Lord, you gave me a big vision of starting a school. How that is going to take place? Then again through the book of Ezekiel, one day the Lord spoke to me, be ready and get ready.

That's how. Two words the Lord gave me. I said, okay, Lord, I am ready. But I don't know how it is going to happen. But I am ready. Then I came back to Bihar. Rented a building. Started the school in 1986.

God’s Provision for the School and Ministry

With one Muslim child. In a miraculous way the Lord provided. A man gave us a building. Another Muslim man gave the furniture. Without paying any money, he said, you can pay later on. So the Lord made it, everything possible.

Start the school. I prayed, Lord, give me at least 100 children. Otherwise how will I manage? Nobody there to support me. I had to pay the rent and salary. Within one month I got 40 children. 100 children.

Then I was calculating all the income and expenditure. Unless I get 40 more, I cannot manage. Then I said, Lord, forgive me. I asked only 100. You gave me 100. Unless you give me 40 more, I cannot manage.

The Lord graciously provided. 49 more within another one month. What a great God we serve. When God gives a vision, there is a provision. Many times we get confused with that. Always remember, when God gives you a vision, there is a provision.

And trust God. And now, I become socially accepted. Because I become the principal of the school. Not think about it as a Christian or outcast man. But now I become the principal. So now people come and say, Namaste sir.

Come in, sir. Sit down, sir. So I can have the tea and coffee. But it took 10 years to see somebody coming to the Lord. I was asking, Lord, what is it? You asked me to go back to Bihar. And I spent 5 years.

Nobody wanted to come to the Lord. 7 years, 8 years. But time to time, the Lord was giving me different promises. I trust. So, I don't know if you have seen my book. Somebody came and told me I read your book.

This is my life story of 25 years. Then if you look at the back, there is I put the things, the chronology. The chronology, you see different occasions, God gave me the promise. The problem and the promise.

So, that's my spiritual life. When I get into problems, I ask the Lord. Lord, what do you want to tell me in between? Once the Lord gave me the promise, I hold on that promise. Then I don't pray for the problem.

But I say, thank you, Lord, for the word you have given. Thank you, Lord, for Isaiah 41, 13, whatever the Lord gave me. I hold on that promise and say, thank you, God. Again, as a human, the problem will come back to the mind.

Then I say, Satan, you go. Thank you, Lord, for the word the Lord gave me. Hallelujah. That is a way to overcome the situation. Once the Lord gave a promise, the Lord gave a word, that is, yes means yes.

There is no change. Our God cannot tell lie. He cannot change according to circumstances and situations. Once the Lord said yes, that means yes. I will do. I will do. I will make it. I will make it. There is no way to change it.

So, I love my Jesus. Because he is unchanging God. He never changes word. He is very true to his word. Again, I want to encourage you, dear brothers and sisters. You may be a Christian for long years, but how much you trust him.

How much you think that my God can help me in this situation. We sing the song, love and obey, no other way. We love to sing. But when circumstance comes, we go to the counselors. Get the counseling. After many counseling, the family gets divorced.

Trusting God Through Marriage and Trouble

Divorce is the purpose of God's institution of marriage. Dear brothers, no more for counseling. Take fasting and prayer and ask the Lord. Lord, restore my marriage. If you go after men, he gives you the worldly wisdom.

After sometime, he will suggest you to go to the court and divorce. That is one of the big curse in the western countries. And it is gradually coming to India also. Because the western is spreading all over.

The Lord is not able to restore your marriage. He is not able to solve your problem. The problem comes. David says, it is good that I was in trouble because I could know the Lord more and more in my life.

Again, he says, taste and see that the Lord is good. When you have the hard troubles, hard times, that make you to feel and to understand how good is our God. If you do not have a problem, you won't cry.

If you don't have a problem, you won't ask the Lord for help. That's the time the Lord wants you to come and sit at his feet and cry unto the Lord. But the school was started first year. One year just over.

Then I was two young people, one lady and gent. They met each other in our school. They want to get married. I said, okay. So I did all the arrangements for their marriage. After the marriage, they said they want to start a new school.

And you know, I said, I was totally new to school system. No idea. I was totally depending on these people. The man was sitting in my office and managing. His wife was the main teacher of the school. Now they wanted to go out.

Then I said, okay, you go. But please, go a little further. Don't start the school nearby. Then gradually, because he was sitting in the school, he convinced all the parents, said, you know, Abraham is not educated and he doesn't know the things and we are the people running the school.

So we are going to start the school. Send your children to get good education. And the academic year starts in December and ends in It starts in January and ends in December. By the time, end of the December, 70 of the people came and told me, we are going to take the children from this school and put in the new school where your staff is going to start the school.

I said, Lord, you asked me to start the school. I am not going to ask anybody to help me. You are my help. You want to help me. You know when the school was closed, with much fear, much cry, much sadness, because once the school's reputation go once, it's so hard to get it back.

70 of children going out from the school, there is no way to get the new admission. You can imagine the situation. That's my beginning of the life. But I said, Lord, you asked me to do this one. You are my protector and provider.

I am not going to go to any parents. I am not going to ask anybody's help. But you have to help me. I was crying and praying, crying and praying. When the January came, the first day about 50 children came.

I thanked the Lord, Lord, at least 50 came. Then after one week, 70 came. Praise God, 70 here. The people said, 70 will be going out. At least 70 here. Within another one week, 100 children came back to my school.

None of them gone from my school. Do you want to give a good clap to Jesus? O taste and see that the Lord is good. If I would have gone after men, they may help me a little bit and they will sing all the way, I helped Abraham, I helped Abraham.

But now, nobody can take that glory. Only my Jesus can take the glory. God never shares His glory with anybody else. Or God is so consumed about it, so strong in that. God says, I will not give my glory to anybody.

So, trust. And God has an answer for every, your problem. I can tell all day, I can keep on telling my life stories like that. The Lord equipped me like that. Because the place I was, nobody was there.

I was no place to go and ask counseling. Nobody there to sit and pray with me. So that's only my place of joy and sorrow was God's presence. I used to sit and cry and cry. I love to sit and cry in front of God, not in front of men.

I don't like it. Men will smile. Men will make criticism. Men may not feel, understand your feelings very well. But my God knows every drop of my eyes. That's what God says. I keep the tears of God's people in a bottle.

That is a value for that. We don't understand that. So this morning, I want to encourage you. I want to know you people too. If you cry and drop one drop from your eyes, that God takes in His bottle. He is not allowing it to go down to the ground.

But God has so much value for that, your tears. So dear brothers and sisters, if you are going through a hard time, don't go after the counselors. Don't go after your friends. But of course, if your friends are praying partners, sure, join together and pray.

That's good. But all your cry should be in the presence of the Lord. Can you agree with me and say Amen? Don't tell a lie and say Amen. But if you totally trust, if you believe that it's going to happen, then join with me and say Amen.

House Churches for Learning, Fellowship, and Multiplication

So that's the way the Lord begins to do, dear brothers and sisters. I can keep on telling the story, but Sunday, you may need some to hear from God's word also. And so, I have seen this is 30 years of our ministry.

This is a souvenir. The last year was our 30 years. Then I asked the Lord, Lord, how to celebrate it? The first thing that came to my mind was to take 30 days fasting. One day for one year. So the Lord helped me to take last year, February 1 to March 2 30 days fasting, just to thank the Lord.

Many times we hear taking fasting for some problems, but I took 30 days fasting just to thank the Lord for the 30 years. Then we had a wonderful celebration October 2, 30 to November 2 all our staff and families and people from our churches all they came and we just gathered together and thanked the Lord for His faithfulness.

So let this church may have wonderful times of celebrations. May the Lord continue to bless us. So our church also believes in the house church system. We have 1 ,600 house churches now in five states of North India.

That's what I said. God is not looking into your ability, but looking into your availability. If you are available, God can make it happen. So I don't know how long this church is consisting here as a house church.

I like it. The concept of house church is in three things. To come together and learn, to have fellowship and to multiply. Did you follow me what I said? Coming together to learn and to have fellowship and to multiply.

That's God's heart of church. Evangelism is fun. Did you hear me? Evangelism is fun. We can go around and do it. How we do it? I tell you the one formula. F .O .R .M. F .O .R .M. F. If you meet somebody, generally what you do?

Just you ask about what's your name, from where you are, which city. Then you talk about your family. They may ask others' family, how many children, all this. People love to talk about their families, right?

So F stands for family. Personal and family. People love to do that. Then the second O, O stands for occupation. Then further we ask them, what kind of work you do? Occupation. Oh, good. You are a doctor.

Very good. You are a pastor. Good. You are a mechanic. You are whatever. Then you ask them and you tell what you are doing. So that's called occupation. Then R, R for religion. Because you are living in Canada, you may be meeting different people.

So ask about what religion you believe. Then they may say, I am a Sikh or Hindu. My parents were Christians, but I don't go to very much on church. Okay, whatever. So then you say my testimony. M stands for my testimony.

Simple. Oh, okay. That's good. No criticism. No condemnation. Don't say that you are a Hindu, you are not going to say because you believe in 33 million gods, 86 million gods and goddesses, my Jesus is good, great.

No. If you do any condemnation criticism, people don't like to hear you. What they want to hear, I believe in Jesus because he transformed my life. That's what the God said. You go and be my witness. It's no need to go to the Bible school and get a big training.

Share your testimony. If you have a life testimony, how you came to the Lord, how you experienced God's love in your life, how the Lord solved your problems, how good it has been, being with Jesus. Share your testimony.

Very simple. F O R M. That's the way we teach our church people. I thought this morning just to share. F O R M. Share with the people. Evangelism is our responsibility. First I said evangelism is a fun.

Evangelism as Christian Responsibility

Go around. F O R M method, use it. And evangelism is our responsibility. God cannot send his angels to do that work and it has done or it has been given to you and me to be his witness in this world. So evangelism is our responsibility.

It's not an option. Everybody is called to do that. So as in book of Acts chapter 8 verse 4 says, Acts 8 4, when there was a severe persecution, people were running away to save their life. Then what happened?

Wherever the people went, they preached the gospel. That was the early beginning of the church. Persecution is a new thing, not a new thing. Every day it happens everywhere. There is no other religion in the world having the persecution story for 2 ,000 years.

Is any other religion in the world having this big story of persecution? Every day we are facing that one. Nigeria, 2 ,000 people killed last week at a time. Hundreds of people are being killed. India, after the new formation of the new government, they have a program called Garvapasi, means come back to home.
