 Okay. So welcome everyone. We'll just begin in prayer and then we'll go into the presentations. Father, we thank you a lot for this time. Thank you for enabling us to gather as brothers and sisters in Christ to be able to look at your work in our midst and Lord, what you have done in the past to be inspired by how you have moved, how people have followed you faithfully and sacrificed so much, Lord, for your namesake, for your kingdom and how their sacrifice has impacted us. We pray as we present, as some of the students present, Lord, that you would ignite within our hearts a passion for you, Lord, fire that will spark something within us and through us, Lord, for your namesake, for your kingdom's sake. We pray blessings over every aspect of this class and even as people are trying to set up and use their laptops, be able to present, Lord, that you would work through all of those things to bless our time together. In Jesus' name be free. Okay. So we, Rinsha, we begin with Anthony. Are you ready? Yeah, please begin with Anthony. Okay, sure. Anthony, you can go ahead. Anthony, hello. Good morning, everyone. I'm about to share my screen. At the exact same time, if you had killed Bahrain, we would have heard Mohan's scream and Mohan was already lying there at that point. Nothing like that has happened because Mohan died before we even got there. It is pointless to go off to Beria now, sir. Someone else is behind the door. Sir, please find that person. Please, Imli. Imli has a phone call. Track her phone. Maybe we can find her location again. Anthony, there's some noise in the background. So if it's possible for you to kind of move to somewhere where it would be quieter so it would be a little easier for us to hear you. Okay. Hi, can you hear me? Can you see my screen? Hello. Yes, we're able to see your screen. If you're able to switch on your video, then please do that. But if it's difficult for you to do that. No. Okay, can you hear? Yes. Yes. Sorry, Anthony, can you unmute yourself? We just missed a part of it. If you can unmute, we are not able to hear the sound. Yeah, if you can go back a bit, we heard just a start but lost the sound in between. Sorry. Can you hear me? Yes, we can hear you. Yes, just a little bit. It was playing fine, but somewhere just a few seconds back, we were not able to hear. Okay, let me take it back. Okay, Anthony, you can play right from the start. I think Prince has requested if you start from the beginning. Will you be able to start presenting from the start? Thank you. Sorry about that. All right. My name is Anthony Sulu-Mondam from Nigeria. I will be doing a presentation on a great financialist called Smith Wigglesworth. I think you need to share your screen again, Anthony. We are not able to hear, but we couldn't see. Can you see my screen? No, not yet. Okay, what about now? Yes, we are able to see it. My name is Anthony Sulu-Mondam from Nigeria. I'm a great evangelist called Smith Wigglesworth. I was born in Bredford, England in 1859. He had a caring father and mother and a Christian grandmother who molded his mind and spirit. His grandmother was an old-time Wesleyan Methodist who would take him to all the meetings she attended at the age of seven. He and his brother worked in a woollen mill. His father also worked in the same mill as a weaver. When Smith was 13, he moved to Bredford. There he went to a Wesleyan Methodist church and began to enter into a deeper spiritual life. At age 16, he joined the Salvation Army in Bredford. He fasted and prayed for the salvation of souls in those days. And every week he saw scores of sinners yielding their heart to Christ. When Smith was 20, he moved to Liverpool and the power of God was mighty upon him. He had a great desire to help the young people. Every week he would gather some scores of boys and girls. Barefooted, ragged and hungry, with the money he earned, he will end up spending the money on food for all the children. This was his first ministry and he brought hundreds of them to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Love, marriage and ministry of Smith Wigglesworth. He got married to Mary Featherstone in 1882 whom he met in the Salvation Army when he moved to Bredford. Together they have five children, four boys and a girl who all entered ministry when they grew up. Prayer and healing ministry of Smith Wigglesworth. Smith believed in the power of the name on Jesus. He prayed and fasted frequently and surrounded himself with people that he knew loved to pray. He also believed in the use of the anointing oil and many were healed instantly when he anointed them. Smith and his wife had a path where they did not allow any medicine in their house as they prefer to trust in God for their healing needs. This faith was tested when Smith fell in and despite much prayer and intercession, healing seemed elusive. He left it up to his wife to decide what to do and so fearing for the life of her husband and what the authorities they say, if no doctor was called, she called for the doctor. When the doctor examined him, the doctor shook his head and said there is no hope. He had appendicitis. For the past six months, the doctor declared Smith as good as a corpse and said that he could not do anything to help heal him. A pretty woman and another young man, however, came along and fervently prayed for him. Smith was healed in that moment and rose up, dressed up and went out to work. Later recounting the incident, Smith said, well, the corpse has been going up and down the wall preaching the gospel many years since that time. The legacy of Smith Wigglesworth. By his faith, Smith Wigglesworth was known as the great apostle of faith. He laid the foundation for the growth of the Holy Spirit in the modern church. The miracles that he performed were long-lasting as evidence by the testimonies of numerous persons whose lives he touched. And a lot of people were drawn to Christ through his healing and prayer ministry. Thank you very much. Hello. Thank you, Anthony. Can you hear me? Yes. All right. That was my presentation. Thank you. Yeah. Okay. Thank you so much, Anthony. It looks like you put in a lot of hard work. So we're not going in the same order as we have in our textbook because today we'll just do all the presentations. But we can go to Rinne next if you're ready, Rinne. Yes, Anthony. Thank you. Rinne, we can't hear you. Thank you. Mike is muted, Rinne. Your voice is a bit unclear.

I can send it to you if you need me to. Mom, can you tell to other person? I'll instruct her. Can you give to other person? Oh. Okay. Sure. I think we had, sorry. I think we have Ravli next. If Ravli is ready, if Ravli is not, then we can go to Shivkumar. Rinne, you can maybe stop sharing and then Shivkumar, are you ready to present now? Okay. Not sure. Nikhil, why don't you go ahead and then we'll just check. Can you give me one? Yes. Okay. So greetings everyone. And so today I'm going to explain about Pandita Ramavai. So ma'am, can you hear me clearly? Yes, we're able to hear. Okay. So Pandita Ramavai, she was the missionary of India as she born April 23rd, 1858, Canra Madras, and she died 5th April, 1922, bombed by residents. About introduction, her life born in the second half of the year, 1800 into a half ranking Hindu family. She became a pioneer of women's rights in her country. Ramavai Pandita born on April 23rd, 1858 into a very conservative society. Ramavai Dongre, Dongre was her family name. Madhvi, her married name, was born into a high caste Hindu family because of her looks and appearance she was adored as goddess when she arrived in Kolkata at age 20. And her family, she was the daughter of a wealthy Brahmin Sanskrit scholar. Her father was a wandering professional reciter of Hindu epic and mythological text. After her parents' death in the 1874 famine, she and her brother continued the family tradition in June 1880, married a man of much lower caste than hers. Her only child, Manurama, her child Manurama was born in April 1881, less than a year. Later her husband died of cholera, living her in the painful situation of high caste Hindu. High caste, her daughter Manurama and she died in 1921. Ramavai herself died following years. So, about her spiritual journey and the influence of the 19th century. About her spiritual journey, after her parents' death in the 1874 famine, she went to Kolkata at age 70, at the time of Puneetha. Saraswati was restored on her as an acknowledgement of her learning. She joined the Brava Salat as a religious Hindu association through the influence of Nehemiya Gauri's apologetic writings that became intellectually convinced that wherever was true in the Brahmo Theology was actually Christian. She was baptized. Sorry, Nikhil, can you just check that Mike, it's suddenly going, it's echoing a bit in between so it's a little bit difficult to follow. Can you just check, I don't know, the connection is loose? Hello ma'am, now you can hear me? Yes, it's fine. So you can just start from the beginning of the slide. I think there was some problem when you started this. Okay ma'am, sure. This was okay, the first part was okay, just this slide. This was fine, the next slide. You can start from the next slide. This one ma'am? Yes, yes. Okay ma'am. So, as we see about her spiritual journey that is connected with the social activism and so her spiritual journey after her parents' date in the 1884 famine, she went to Calcutta in 1874, the titles Pandita and Saraswati were bestowed on her acknowledgement of her learning. She joined the Brahmo Samaj Reformed, the repomised Hindu association. Through the influence, through the influence of Nihemiya Gauri's apologetic writings she became intellectually convinced that whatever was true in the Brahmo Samaj was actually Christian and Orson in 1883 during a visit to England. She was baptized in the chapel of the Anglican community of S.T. Mary, the version of Banta England, some of the host members she had met in Pune. She was in the Europe to pursue a medical degree which in the end her deepness, deepness made impossible from 1883 to 1886. Ramavai was in the formal, saints and Anglo-Catholic lecturing and studying social reform and education in 1887. She published her first English book, the Hindu caste Hindu woman, a Mercedes, an Indicment of Hindu India's treatment of its woman which was Parshurship because it was written from the inside. Two years later she returned to India and with American support opened a non-prosalizing institute for the education of young Hindu widows. This was the Sardasadam, a board of wisdom in Bombay it's soon moved to Pune. The more famous of Mukti Salvation opened at Kat Gaon in 1898 in the main time. Ramavai herself had passed through a second conversation this time an evangelical one and for the remainder of her life, her Christianity was close to that. Kashvik, Holiness, Patron, a Pentecostal style revival began at Mukti Bible translation because her health was poor. The running of Mukti was left mainly to others. She was a woman with a vision and her spiritual growth is such that the became a foreigner of women's rights and converted to Christianity because of Jesus and she discovered her best liberator. Yes. Okay. Yes ma'am. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. So we have Rin Ravli and Shiv Kumar left. I don't think Sean is on the call right? So Rin Ravli or Shiv Kumar if any of you are ready just let me know and one of you can go ahead. Can I present ma'am now? Yes. Should I present now? Okay. Shall we go ahead with Shiv Kumar Rin and then you can present once Shiv Kumar is done. Okay. Good morning everyone. Ma'am can you be able to hear me? Yes, you are able to hear. Thank you. Good morning. Good morning everyone. Today I am going to present on Mr. John Hyde. His famous saying is give me soul so God or I die and some refer to him as a man who never sleeps some refer to him as the apostle of prayer but more familiarly he is known as praying guide. This is his picture. About his early life he was born on 9th November 1865 at Colorado Illinois USA. His father's name was... Shiv Kumar it's not on presenter view would you like to switch to presenter I mean to switch to full screen presentation so we are able to see all your slides are you able to also switch on your video would you do that as well please? Is it okay now ma'am? Hello. Sorry, sorry. Yes it's fine now. Thank you. Yes. Good morning everyone. So today I am going to present on John Hyde the apostle of prayer. His famous saying is give me soul so God or I die some refer to him as a man who never sleeps some refer to him as the apostle of prayer but more familiarly he is known as praying guide. This is his picture. About his early life he was born on 9th November 1865 at Colorado Illinois United States of America. His father name was Dr. Smith Harris Hyde and mother name was Eunice. His father was a Presbyterian minister who proclaimed the gospel message and called for the Lord to trust our laborers into his service. He preached this not only at pulpit but even at the family altar. This made a permanent impression on Young Hyde. Hyde graduated from Carthage College in 1887 and immediately appointed as a cheating faculty in the same college. However he had a divine call to the regions beyond so he resigned his faculty position and joined McCormick Theological Seminary College in Chicago. About his spiritual journey John early felt the lead of God to become a pastor as his father and his oldest brother Edmund who was preparing to be a pastor and was a volunteer for the foreign field died of mountain fever while he was still in the seminary college. This incident deeply affected him and he wondered if God might be calling him to fill the gap in foreign service left by the passing of his brother. During his seminary college days Hyde began to pray for others to go out as a foreign missionaries. He personally shared his burden for the last in other nations to the 46 graduating men. By the end of graduation time out of this 46, 26 people surrendered themselves for the foreign missions. During his final years in seminary college a special meeting concerning foreign mission was held as the missionary John Herrick from India spoke John became restless. After one service he went to his roommate and said give me all the arguments for the foreign field. His friend replied, arguments are not what you need what you need to do is to go to your room get on your knees and stay there until it is settled with God. John decided to take this advice and prayed all night long for the first time. The next day he told his friend it is settled I am going to India. About his missionary journey John graduated from a seminary college in 1892 and he sailed with a group of missionaries to India on October 15, 1892 from New York. When John arrived in India he was assigned to the Punjab region at first he was not a remarkable missionary he was slow of speech his hearing was slightly defective. Since he lacked in ability he came to the place that he used prayer as his greatest weapon. His first assignment was the usual language study at first he went to work on this but later concentrated on Bible study he was reprimanded by the committee but he replied first things first he argued that he had come to India to teach the Bible and he needed to know it before he could teach it and God by his spirit wonderfully opened up the scriptures to him simultaneously he did not neglect his language study he became a correct and easy speaker of Urdu, Punjabi, English but above that he learned the language of heaven and so he learned to speak that he held hundreds of Indian auditions while he opened to them the truths of God's word for eight years for eight years he labored without any results as he found the people very unreceptive to the gospel it seemed that no matter how hard he worked no matter how many people he witnessed to nothing happened he finally decided to pray and fast until there was a revival preceding the revival was the organization of Punjab Prayer Union John Hyde was associated with this prayer union from its beginning the Punjab Prayer Union members felt the need for a yearly meeting for Bible study and prayer where the spiritual life of the workers pastors, teachers and evangelists both foreign and native could be deepened Sialkot was the place selected for the annual meeting the Sialkot city was in India at that time but now it is in the borders of Pakistan Hyde was instrumental in establishing the annual Sialkot conferences from which thousands of missionaries and native workers returned to their stations with new power for the work of reaching India with the gospel the Sialkot revival was not an accident nor an unsought breeze from the event one of the first conventions Hyde, Paterson and Turner waited and tarried one whole month before the opening day for 30 days and 30 nights this godly man waited before God in prayer at one time during those 30 days Hyde spent 36 continuous hours on his knees begging God for his power it was not long after those 30 days before his prayers began to have their desired effect God began to answer his prayers in 1908 he was led to climb that God would give him one soul saved each day for one year he prayed that God would give him not only a soul saved but that he would baptize at least one convert each day as well this seemed impossible in India at that time but after one year he had personally baptized more than 400 of his own converts even though he would win one or two souls each day he had a great longing and passion for more and more lost souls to know Christ as saviour the next year he prayed for two souls a day and at the end of the year over 800 precious souls had received Christ as saviour and followed the Lord in believers baptism through his personal soul winning in that year in 1910 he asked God for four souls a day so he went after converts in faith God wonderfully enlarged his field of service and here he travelled all over India and baptized over 1600 of his own converts that year about his last days at the close of 1910 he had been called to Kolkata for a revival he was very sick there and went to a doctor the doctor advised him to rest as his heart has shifted out of its natural position on the left side and leaning towards the right side this is called as dextrocardia but he continued his intercession on March 11, 1911 praying had India's labourers were over and as a dying man he sighed to his home by way of England in April 1911 he joined evangelist John Wilbur Champagne in an evangelic visit to 3000 in England thereafter he went home to Northampton where a malignant brain tumor was discovered and he died there after an operation on February 17, 1912 his last words were in Urdu bol esu masiki jai that means shout the victory of Jesus he was buried in his family plot in Morse-Ritz cemetery in Carthage the conclusion is ministry of prayer in India for almost 20 years was well known that the natives referred to him as the man who never sleeps but familiarly he known as the praying guide his life of sacrifice, humility, love for souls and deep spirituality as well as his example in the missionary of intercession inspired many to follow his example in their own lives and ministry his journey still lives through the beautiful story of his life its lesson can be briefly stated that prayer is primary other work is secondary thank you thank you Shiv Kumar if you are able to stay for a few more minutes then we can have room present as well if you are able to stay for a few more minutes can you hear me yes so I will present it now I will try to share it so Pasa can I start yes hi everyone so I'll start where you leave me I will follow what you feed me I will swallow seeing the starving children seeing the starving children of India and the worst famine seeing the dying Indians and smelling the unpleasant smells in the market of valor that she will never come to live in India again today I would like to talk to you present to you about Ida Scudder she is a perfect example of one who laid down her life to follow Christ Ida Scudder was born in 1870 in runnipet of India where her mom and dad were medical missionaries to India her grandfather Dr. John Scudder he was the first medical missionary to India and her father also followed the footsteps of his father as well and the thing is Ida Scudder's family most of them were medical missionaries to India and they had served as medical missionaries in South India for more than a thousand years and 42 members of the family worked as medical missionaries and Ida Scudder was sure that she would never follow the footsteps of her father but until one incident that happened she due to the illness of her mother she had to come back from the US to India to help her family and one night writing a letter to her friend back at America there was a knock at the door and there stood a Brahmin man who asked Ida to come and help his wife who was dying trying to give birth to a child and Ida responded that she could not help as she did not have any experience needed that she know anything about it but the Brahmin pleaded even the more and then she she told him that her father could help help him with his wife but then he responded that a man cannot see his wife because she would be be fouled and after that a Muslim man asked her door and then he asked her to also come and help his wife who was struggling to give birth to a child and she responded the same that she did not know anything about giving birth to babies and she did not have any skills to do it and she referred to a father again but then he responded that his wife cannot see any other man except of his own family and for the third time the same night Ida encountered Hindu man here and again he asked her to come and help his wife who was trying to give birth to a child and Ida obviously said the same thing again that she could not help she had no experience she had no skills and Ida that later that night Ida thought to herself what she could have done or said to change the situation and but nothing came to her mind Ida did not like the religious practices that were being practiced in India and she knew that her father could not do anything about it because he was a man and so he could not do anything about this situation but she knew she came to this realization that she could help, she could do something for these women in India so she decided then and there that she would go to America, she would go back to the US and study medicine and come help the women and the babies here in India and Ida and Ida studied in the women's medical college in Pennsylvania and there she studied for four years and then she went to this Cornell medical college where this college was one of the top most prestigious colleges in America and she attended there where they accepted women and which is a great honor actually and she finished it and she came on flying colors although sometimes it was really hard for her and Ida Scudder was now an official doctor but she needed the money to go to the hospital in India, she had a response for it and in the process of doing it she did not give up although it was really hard and she trusted that God would provide and he certainly did for her, she was a woman who lived by faith and Ida Scudder built a 40-bed hospital in Beller India, just within a few months of her arrival in India this father died leaving her feeling helpless because she wanted to learn from someone who was trained, who was older and in some cases so after she took over after that died she felt that in some cases she did not feel that she was experienced enough but then she attempted some and it was successful and she and that helped her to gain the confidence to keep on trying and Ida Scudder had an inspiration to reach out to the villages of the people so she hitched up the wagon and she went out to the people because she said if they don't come to me I will go to them because some of them were afraid of her, some of them thought she is not qualified enough or some of the people they were like it's too far for them to come all the way to the hospital so she went out to them and so she went out into the dustiest and dirtiest villages that she could find there in India and she had a dream to start a nursing school to train young Indian women she went to the United States to raise funds for this project and God again provided for her she had a determination to make a difference in the lives of the Indian women in India through this project and many people came alongside Ida Scudder to make a dream a reality 14 women were selected in her school and through all their efforts Ida's school became the top medical school in the district in the 25 years of serving as a doctor in India Ida Scudder had a medical school a nursing school and a large hospital but she wondered what the next challenge would be knowing that there was still so much more to be done during this time World War II was going on and there was great depression happening in the United States so Ida was running short of the donations to run her hospital even in the midst of it all Ida did not give up but went on to the United States to raise funds for the work in battle and she did raise some and then she came back to India to help and finally in 1946 when Ida was 75 years old passed beyond her time to work she finally announced to retire from her work and following that year on August 15 1947 India became an independent nation and the new government showed just how much progress Indian women had made since Ida had arrived back to the country for good at a turn of the century a woman was appointed minister of health and another the governor of West Bengal province so Ida was glad to see that she wanted women to have a higher place in society because they were always looked down and she then moved to the bungalow that she had built in Kodaikanal she had many visitors and she continued to visit Vellore where she saw many new developments and changes taking place in the hospital that she started and at the age of 90 in 1960 Ida Scutter died peacefully at her bungalow home in India this was said at the funeral only those who can see the invisible can achieve the impossible Dr. Ida Scutter has achieved the impossible through her close touch with God through her faith and in 19 so here this is a map where it shows where we can see in Tamil Nadu where CMC Vellore so this is the Christian Medical College that Ida Scutter founded and it was in 1902 and she left a living legacy she serving for nearly 60 years Dr. Ida Scutter lived out the truth and compassion found in Christ she pioneered a first-rate medical hospital brought life-saving healthcare for charge see and then she left an inspiring legacy that still touches millions of people with healing and hope she always said that there was something more to do she never sat idly she lived the gospel and people's lives were touched and transformed because of a love and care Ida Scutter saw a need and found a need and found a solution for it she changed an entire community and later on the whole nation Thank you Thank you all I know with technology and trying to figure out how to manage everything all of a
