Joyce Meyer's Festival of Life Revives Mumbai

MUMBAI, India - Hundreds of thousands of people have flooded to Joyce Meyer’s Festival of Life in Mumbai, India, where renown Christian artists Delirious and Hillsong are performing live.

"I have never seen or been to such an amazing event. Marvelous is the presence of God here and I feel moved and encouraged by the sermons and music,” said one event participant.

"And more than all, when I see my brothers and sisters from different caste and color, joining together, I am just full of grace. I feel like Jesus Christ visited India and moved our hearts to serve him and love him more."

Joyce Meyer Ministries has been involved in extensive social work in Mumbai.

“We have 10 centers in areas like Ghatkopar, Bhandup, Vikhroli and Kalva that provide food to children in the city. We also run a transformation home for commercial sex workers in Badlapur where sex workers are provided vocational training,” said Scott Norling, Director of Asia of Joyce Meyer Ministries.
