I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year!

“Whether the world or life or death or things present or things to come – all are yours. And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.” -1st Corinthians 3:22&23

Even though Paul’s context is different than the context I am writing here, I have found great comfort through these verses. God took care of all of us during the most stressful times of history. When I read those last words of the verse ”and you are Christ’s”, I was able to stop and rest in His hands.

God has been so, so faithful to me during this season. He is making me stronger and giving me opportunities to reach many people through His Word. I have been able to continue to work on my YouTube project teaching from 1st Corinthians. Unfortunately, it is running a little bit slower than it did in the beginning. 

It is interesting that when I teach class in person it reaches 20 to 30 students, but through YouTube it is reaching 10 times more people than in the classroom! In the future there could be chances to reach thousands of people but it will take more finances before it can reach more people. I want to move forward with more wisdom and more courage for God’s Word. 

I am requesting you all to pray that this small work of a normal person for a big God would reach many people through the biggest platform of the era–the internet. Also, I have found that this would be somewhat easier for me if I have a small team working together with me. In the beginning, brothers used to work with me, but due to Covid, we are all no longer at the same place. So, please pray that the brothers and students and I will be reunited.

During this time, I was also able to work on getting permission from my University to take my pharmacy exams and to clear my backlogs (I studied pharmacy before going to Bible college and joining the ministry). I took the exams in December and I definitely need your prayers for good results.

Thank you for your prayers and time,
