Origin

God Poured out a spirit of intercession on a group of college students in South India in the 1960s. After about 7 years of almost daily gathering for prayer, nearly thirty of these young men under the leadership of Bro.R.Stanley came together in October 1970 for three days to wait on the Lord in Fasting Prayer. The Lord visited them with a prophetic message from Ezekiel 34:26 and Acts 1:8.An outpouring of the spirit resulting in an ingathering of souls was the promise. To realize this vision was born the Blessing Youth Mission in 1971.
