Bruce preaching the Good News in rainy conditions
Mango International has been ministering in India since the year 2000 and has organised over 19 large public events, locally called ‘Music and Healing Festivals’, all over the states of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Many hundreds of churches have partnered in this ministry and individual pastors, bible college students and congregations have prayed, fasted and followed up the resulting responses to salvation with personal visits. Subsequently other family members have received the gospel and healing prayer.
The Christian MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly) for Secunderabad, Jaya Sudha, and other MLAs, have supported these initiatives by appearing on platform with Bruce, joining denominational leaders and local organising committees.

Large crowds gather to hear national Christian musicians and singers, and sit in rapt attention until late into the night, to hear preaching and testimonies of God’s love and power to touch every individual. A feature of these public festivals has been the tangible evidence of God’s Holy Spirit falling on both children and adults, resulting in supernatural healing, breakthroughs over demonic oppression, and miracles.
Many thousands of New Testaments in Telugu and Tamil have been given free of charge to those who have made a personal response to follow Jesus, through the generosity of Mango International supporters.
It is at these large public gatherings that people have seen extraordinary miracles with their own eyes, and on two occasions, the monsoon weather has literally stopped still, so that whole communities could hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and be prayed for to receive a touch from heaven.
