These forums could be a real blessing to those who don't speak English as their first language, I'm sure. They are (as I understand) mainly so that the native languages of India and the Philippines can be used. English is the only language that's allowed to be used in the other forums, mainly for ease of moderation. I'm really glad to see these new forums here

Yes Jilly81 but it's not only language. There are situations particular to being a Christian in India, and in Indian culture, for example, that Indian Christians may want to share and consult with each other about. Also new Indian viisitors may be more comfortable and less shy posting in an Indian Christian Forum instead of one of the other forums dominated by native English speakers.
And every Indian member that I've asked thinks it's a great idea. So if they want it, I'm not sure why anyone else would have a problem with it. So we're happy to have an Indian forum and an Indian room, run or moderated by some of our trusted Indian members, for Indian Christian fellowsihp, and likewise a Filipino forum and Filipino room, run or moderated by some of our trusted Filipino members.
Also I think having an Indian Christian Forum and an India room helps to build up the Indian fellowship here, which does help to make our site even more international, and there will of course be cross-mingling of rooms and forums, so be glad if we're able to make CC even more international.
The purpose of CC is online international fellowship, and all of the things we do or add help accomplish and enhance that.
Anyway if these new forums are active enough with fellowship then we'll keep them here and thank God for the fellowship. It also gives our Filipino and Indian brothers and sisters here some opportunity to reach out to people from their own country, which is definitely a good thing.

I don't understand these forums, Indian and Filipino. I think they will only take away from the other forums. Besides, are only people from India or interested in India and the Philippines supposed to join in the conversations?

You're 10 Years late to the thread.
And perhaps ultimately Divisions should have been removed, but that doesn't mean that there aren't distinctions and differences between gender, culture, location, etc...
How ones faith is impacted can vary among such factors, that is not division, that's reality. Division only arises when people put too much emphasis on their differences. That doesn't mean they should be ignored.
Even the bible talks about the body of Christ having different parts with different functions. The hand ans the mouth aren't divisions, they are different parts of the same body.
Unity doesn't mean uniqueness and distinctions are gone, it means they are brought together to function as one.
This also fosters growth and learning when done properly.

Hi. I'm a Indian Christian in California interested in fellowship with my brothers and sisters in India. My prayers are with those who suffer persecution.

In short, Bakht Singh (who actually hated Christian’s as a school boy) was an engineer. (He did his degree in England. As a young punjabi man of the sikh religion, supported and sent by his parents to study)
In an amazing way God met with him on a cruise ship somewhere in Canada/Vancouver in 1929, and saved his soul.
There are more details of his family (and town folk where he came from in the Punjab,) resisting and telling him to forget the Christian faith.
In 1933 following his studies he returned to Colonial India with a clear call from God to be a witness for Christ among his own people in India. The Lord received him for his ministry on three conditions:
1. Do not join any organizations—serve all equally.
2. Do not make your own plan. Let Me guide you and lead you every step of the way.
3. Do not make your needs known to any human being. Ask Me only and I shall provide for your needs.
He was sent of God. No religious body sent him or titled him, but he fulfilled every ministry, and that of an apostle. Established hundreds of churches in India.
He was travelling worldwide at the same period of time that Billy Graham was.
They happened to see each other at the airport once. Billy Graham told Bakht Singh, “I am like the spokes of the wheel, but you are the hub”
Sometime during his ministry he had fellowship with other men of God as
T A Sparks, Watchman Nee etc.
I was not even born yet, but someone here in Australia heard Bakht Singh’s ministry when he visited, and by Gods grace began to build the House of God.
1 Timothy 3:15 KJV
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
