I thank you for how you have come so far to help us. The way we have learned in Pathways is completelynew. Our way of preaching before was not correct. Sometimes we go here or there not understanding what we are preaching. If we use the Pathways method, we can go much farther in our messages. I use this in my preaching all the time now. My church people are growing and giving testimony they are learning much more. I still have a long way to go, but I hope to continue to improve.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1007\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1007\" style=\"width: 196px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1007 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/2016-10-28-14.06.30-196x300.jpg\" alt=\"2016-10-28-14-06-30\" width=\"196\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/2016-10-28-14.06.30-196x300.jpg 196w, https:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/2016-10-28-14.06.30.jpg 392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1007\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pastor Vishal &#8211; Before this class, there was no blessing in my ministry. I did so much prayer and visitation, but no Bible study for preaching. I would open a Bible Dictionary to preach my messages. But since beginning to use Pathways, the church began to weep. One man in my church told me that based on my sermon from God&#8217;s Word, he gathered all the idols in his house and threw them out. I thank God for this training, and through your correcting our mistakes, our preaching has improved much.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I will add a couple video clips taken randomly around different parts of Delhi to draw you into the experience.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 474px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-995-2\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/2016-10-Delhi-at-night-2.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/2016-10-Delhi-at-night-2.mp4\">http:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/2016-10-Delhi-at-night-2.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 474px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-995-3\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/2016-10-Delhi-at-night.mp4?_=3\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/2016-10-Delhi-at-night.mp4\">http:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/2016-10-Delhi-at-night.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pressing on in the journey with my Lord.<\/p>\n<p>Eric<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With its claim to fame being that it is &#8220;the most polluted city in the world,&#8221; Delhi, India is a sensory overload experience.
