“For this reason, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but (a Spirit) of power and love and self-control.”
2 Timothy 1:6-7 ESV

In this passage of scripture The Apostle Paul is encouraging and instructing his disciple Timothy not to be afraid of what he (Timothy) may have to endure for his faith in Jesus. And to remember what and Who lives with in him. (1 COR 3:16) 

The Spirit of God was living in Him, The One who has created all things and is called a Consuming Fire. (HEB 12:29)
Who has chosen us to be His vessels and dwelling place in the earth.
He who by His divine power was working in Paul’s life, Timothy’s life and now ours.
To take the burning light of The Gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth.
(ACTS 1:8)

(WEEK OF PRAYER AND FASTING)

Hello Beloved, I pray this update finds you in peace and in the love of God.

January began with a beautiful time of fanning to flame our faith as a church and preparing our bodies, minds, hearts and souls; for all that The Lord wanted to do in us and through us for 2025. We fasted and prayed for a week as a church, the type and length was your choice but as a community we set our face to seek God and pray. We prayed for America, Our Government, The Church and The World. It was a time of humbling ourselves before God seeking Him to heal the land and a time for us to be unified as The Body of Christ.

(MINISTRY OPPURTUNITITES)

God has also given me awesome ministry opportunities. Our Missions School was invited to several conferences where we setup a booth to stir others up for missions, and I was also invited to speak with a friend at a mission’s week at a Christian middle school.
The first conference was a Church Planting Conference to learn about biblical church planting. The second was an Expository Preaching Conference held by John Miller and Skip Heitzig. My favorite opportunity by far was the Missions Week at the Christian Middle School, me and my friend got to share about Southern Asia and The Great Commission, getting the next generation fired up for Jesus and the lost.

(Pray for L.A)

As many of you know L.A experienced one of the worst wildfires in its history, that evacuated over 200,000 people from their homes, that burned over 57,660 acres in total and destroyed 16,000 structures in counting and took 29 lives. It is very tragic.
The area I live in was not affected, but I was able to join a relief team hosted by Calvary Chapel Monrovia. We went into the affected areas and ministered with food and supplies to emergency responder’s and people in the community who stayed with their property. The fires are 100% contained, but prayers are still desperately needed for the restoration of and healing of the communities.

As sad as it was to see, it was a sobering reminder of the fate of this world. The first time God judged The Sin of the earth it was with water; the second time will be with fire. (2 PET 3:7) All of our homes, money, “treasures “all of it will be destroyed.
I spoke to one man who lived in the affected area and managed to save his home.
I asked him “if he knew Jesus? “
and after conversing a bit I realized he didn’t. And the sad reality set in. This man was able to save his temporary home… but if he died that day his eternal soul would’ve been destroyed in the fire that can’t be quenched. (MARK 8:36)

We must tell the world about Jesus, for there is salvation in no one and nothing else.

Prayer Requests:

• That God would save thousands upon thousands of Children, Women and Men across the world

• That God would reveal where He would have me serve long-term
• For my walk with Jesus to remain intimate and that I would abide in Him
• That God would protect and provide spiritually, physically, and financially
• That I would walk in His perfect will for my life
• That God would help me to clear my debt

“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”

2 Peter 3:9

Romans 3:22 says, “Even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference.”

Christmas Outreaches

As we usually do, last year in November, we organized some Gospel outreaches in three different cities. The outreaches were very joyful. People came from all around.

Christmas Celebration at our Bible Church. 

The church members invited their neighbors, relatives and those who lived near the church so that they could have an opportunity to hear about Jesus. Over 70 guests came besides our regular church members. Praise God for a great occasion to share Jesus with them.

Gospel outreach at Calvary Chapel

The people who live around the church came and heard the Gospel. We pray that God will draw them towards Him.

Blessings!

Prakash & Muna

Dear Ministry Partners,

Greetings to you all in the matchless name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

We deeply express our heartfelt gratitude to the almighty God for His amazing mercy upon my family. At the same time we appreciate each one of you for your valuable prayers and financial support. Because of your financial help, we are able to move forward with the Gospel of Christ Jesus to the unreached without any worry. As a family we have been praying for you, for your family, ministry, job and businesses. May the good God bless you with all resources and good health.

By God’s grace, all of the classes of second semester are going very well at our Calvary Bible Institute. We take our students for house visitation weekly as part of their practical ministry training. They are able to lead and share from the Bible.

During the Christmas season we had various types of wonderful outreaches on different days. It was a great time to share the love of Jesus through a huge Christmas rally, Christmas caroling, children’s Christmas program etc. We also had a wonderful Christmas gathering with our church believers.

Mr. K.*, a Hindu man, had been suffering with weakness in his neck for about a year because of a road accident. Now he is unable to do anything by himself. I learned about him through one of the believers of our church. I was privileged to visit him and share the love of Jesus with his entire family. We prayed for him to be healed and for his whole family to come to the saving knowledge Jesus. His wife now comes to our church.

On December 24th my wife’s uncle went to be with the Lord. Everyone in the family grieved, but they were comforted by God’s divine peace. Now our family is doing okay. Thank you so much for your prayers.

Prayer Requests:

• Please pray for our Calvary Bible Institute’s new semester. May God help all of the teachers teach well. May God open the minds of students to understand the Bible.
• Kindly pray for those who have heard the Good News of Jesus Christ for the first time. May God work in their hearts, so that they may come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
• Please for the healing of Mr. K., and that through his healing his entire family may come to Jesus Christ.
• Please pray that God’s heavenly peace will dwell in our grieving family
• Continue to pray for my daughter’s education.
• Continue to pray for the growth and needs of our local church.
• Kindly pray for me and my family. May the Lord use us for the expansion of His kingdom.

Thank you very much for your prayers and support!!

In Him,

Pastor 3* and Family

Happy New Year!

May this New Year be filled with joy, peace and God’s abundant blessings! This new year is going to be a year of hope and harvest.

The last month of 2024 did not go well with us (humanly speaking). Five people whom we knew went to be with the Lord. My wife’s uncle was one of them. He died early in the morning on December 24th.

We could not do as much outreach during the Christmas season as we did in previous years. We needed permission from the government officials of the town to be allowed do any Christian activity. We had planned to do prison ministry and school evangelism, but we were not given permission. Nevertheless, we were able to invite non-Christian children to our church on December 21st and do a program for them. The Gospel message was shared with them through songs, skits, and a short message.

We had a Christmas rally on December 15. Thousands of Christians from all of the churches of the town gathered together and marched through the streets of the town singing carols and Gospel songs and preaching Gospel messages. Since it was organised by all of the churches through an association, permission for the rally was granted.

Each evening, from December 16-19, we, along with members from our church, went to different locations in the town to sing carols and visit Christian families. In front of Christians’ houses we sang carols and Gospel songs. We shared short Gospel messages that their neighbors could hear. We didn’t need permission from the government to do this.

The Lord has opened up a Hindu family for us to share the Gospel with. The man in the family was previously in an accident. He had a problem in his backbone, but had recovered after being treated. A few months ago he was sitting on a chair and fell down. No one knows how he fell down. He hurt his neck and was paralyzed. He got surgery, but it did not help. We have been visiting his family for the last two months. We read God’s Word, give a short exhortation and pray for him. Please pray for God’s miraculous healing for him. His wife has been attending our Sunday services.

Praise the Lord that we could do something for His glory during this Christmas season. We know that we are weak, but He is strong.

Thank you so much for your continued prayers and support throughout 2024.

Co-workers in Christ,

Pastor 15* Family

But Jesus said, “Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

Matthew 19:14 NKJV

Thanks to be God–He has brought these wonderful children to our church! We are also amazed by the number of children who came to our Christmas program–about 42 children attended the Christmas program in our church! When I saw them, I rejoiced in Christ because they were so eager to come to our Christmas program. 

We also distributed some gifts to the children who regularly come to our children’s ministry. We gave them some chocolate to enjoy during the program, too.

In the beginning, over 40 adults came for our Christmas program. More people continued to come, even into the night. By the end of the night, more than 100 people had attended. We had a bonfire and many enjoyed the fire.

Our church youth did the best they could to dance, sing, and do other things to engage our guests. We do not have a good sound system, so sometimes people cannot hear us loudly when we are in an open area. We have been praying, and slowly more people have been coming to our open area church program.

During this program, we added extra things to draw more people. We played games, and when we played musical chairs we gave the winners prizes like soap, a brush, or a comb, etc.

My beautiful wife, Mahima, is now 7 months pregnant. Thank you for praying for Mahima. She has also been teaching her women’s Bible Study, through an online platform. She has been dealing with gestational diabetes, and her blood pressure is also increasing. Please pray for her to be healthy and for our baby to be healthy.

In the leprosy colony, we have been doing a Bible Study. By the grace of God, everyone has been growing daily as we are feeding God’s Word to them. We 200 packets of sugar at the leprosy colony during the Christmas season. Their faces glowed, and every leper had a smiling face when they received a small packet of sugar in their hands. They thanked me and told me, “May God bless you.”

For the first time, we played Christmas carols in our neighborhood and shared the Gospel. The people heard the Good News of Christ. We also shared the Gospel more to the people in the area around our church by having a fire outside. People gathered around the fire and we shared the Gospel with them.

Pray Requests:

• Our Bible Institute’s new semester will be starting soon. Pray that God will bring more young people to learn the Word of God.
• Pray that God will provide for the needs of our church. 
• Pray that God will bring more unreached people to hear the Gospel in our church.
• Pray that God will bring more children to our church. 
• Please pray that Mahima will have normal blood sugar (with her diabetes) and that her blood pressure will be normal. Pray that our child will be in good health.

Thank you for your support and prayers for us.

Thank you so much for partnering with us, praying for us and encouraging us. May God bless every family in Saving Grace World Missions.

Grace and Peace,

Your’s faithful servants,

Rabi and Mahima

2024 Christmas Outreach Event

On December 25, 2024, our church hosted a special Christmas outreach event in our church courtyard. Around 150 people attended. Most of them were non-Christians from the local community. The event was filled with joy and excitement as the youth group and children performed beautiful songs and lively dances. The highlight of the evening was the sharing of the Gospel from the book of Luke, chapter 1, which tells the story of Jesus’ birth. Everyone listened attentively, and many were touched by the message of hope and love. After the Gospel reading, we had time for fellowship, where we shared food and drinks. It was heartwarming to see people from different backgrounds come together to celebrate Christmas. The event ended with everyone feeling joyful and uplifted. This outreach was a wonderful opportunity to share the true meaning of Christmas with our community. We hope to continue spreading the message of love and hope in the future.

Youth Conference in the South East

We held a one-day youth conference in the Southeast. It was attended by 80 young people from various regions. The teaching sessions were led by Pastor Anand, Pastor Milan, Pastor Majiya, and Pastor Joshep, focusing on lessons from the Book of Ruth. The young people were very engaged and eager to learn more about the Bible. Some of them also showcased their talents by performing traditional dances, adding joy and excitement to the event. During the conference, we enjoyed a delicious lunch together, which gave everyone a chance to bond and share their experiences. The atmosphere was filled with enthusiasm and a desire to grow in faith. At the end of the conference, we invited the young attendees to consider joining our Bible Institute. We hope and pray that many of them will take this step to deepen their understanding of the Word of God. Please keep these young people in your prayers. Pray that they may continue to seek God and grow in their spiritual journeys. This conference was a wonderful opportunity to inspire and encourage the youth in their faith.

Inductive Bible Study Workshop in the North East

We recently held an inductive Bible study workshop in the Northeast. Around 45 young people and church leaders participated. The workshop was facilitated by Pastor Anand, Pastor Milan, Pastor Majiya, and Pastor Joshep. Together, we had a great time discussing the Bible, and learning how to study it deeply and apply it to our lives. The young people and church leaders were eager to learn and asked many thoughtful questions. It was inspiring to see their enthusiasm for God’s Word. During the workshop, we encouraged the church pastors and leaders to send their young people to our Bible Institute for further studies. We believe that these young people can be powerful instruments for God in their region. Please pray that God will guide and use them mightily in spreading His Word. This workshop was a meaningful step in equipping the next generation for ministry in the Northeast.

Thank you,

Anand and Usha and Family

Hello Dear Family in Christ,

We are delighted to share the blessings that God has bestowed upon us and our ongoing ministry endeavors.

Our ministry has expanded to three southern states!

God has expanded our ministry to three southern states. What a great God that He has added to our work! Please pray for us to equip more people and send them out to plant churches that teach the Word of God. We believe that God entrusts us with the Gospel to reach the unreached and those who lack the Word of God.

It is commanded in the Bible, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations.” We have witnessed God’s grace in our lives and ministry.

Following the completion of our Bible Institute, our esteemed brother, P*, embarked on an internship program. He is now prepared to serve in the location where God has called him. Brother P* is a courageous minister with a genuine passion for reaching people with the Gospel. During his internship, he had the privilege of serving at our Calvary Chapel in the city and assisting in planting churches in several villages.

After laying hands on P* and praying for his ministry, we released him to fulfill the Great Commission of God. As we lay hands on individuals to send them out, we are reminded of the Great Remainder of the Great Commission. The means by which we fulfill this command are “going,” “baptizing,” and “teaching.”

We are filled with anticipation for the future and continue to pray for P’s* success.

Christmas Outreaches in Eight Locations

We are profoundly grateful to God for opening doors to minister in these villages and enabling us to share the Gospel during this festive season.

Outreach Location #1: M* Village

Pastor C*, a missionary from our Calvary Chapel in the city, has been serving in this village for two years. God has been doing remarkable things. Initially, his efforts focused on Bible studies. Now he is hosting Sunday worship services. Three families join in the worship services.

On December 11th, the church organized an extraordinary Christmas outreach program. The attendance was impressive, and the program had a profound impact on the lives of attendees. Prior to the outreach, a group of local Hindu villagers expressed opposition. However, during that moment, we prayed fervently, and God used that opportunity to strengthen our faith. With God’s guidance and strength, we were able to successfully conduct the Christmas outreach. Over 250 people were reached with the Gospel message.

We are delighted to report that many young adults and adults who attended the program experienced life-changing transformations. The Christmas outreach served as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of God’s Word. Two ladies responded positively to the Gospel and expressed positive thoughts about God.

We kindly request your continued prayers for Pastor C*.

utreach Location #2 

P*, a missionary from our church in the city, is currently working in one of the most challenging regions in the south. This area is heavily influenced by idol worship. People from all over the world visit there to offer gold and their hair. It is disheartening to witness the lack of recognition of the true God and the prevalence of idol worship. Every street and corner is filled with temples. People are possessed by demonic spirits. Carrying the Bible in this region poses significant risks. Anyone caught discussing Jesus or sharing the Gospel can face severe punishment, including imprisonment.

During the Christmas season, we prayed to God to open doors for a Christmas outreach in this region. On December 17th, we commenced our outreach efforts. As we were preparing for the event, many individuals approached us, expressing their desire to hear about Jesus. Unfortunately, people also threatened to beat us, used abusive language, and attempted to prevent us from preaching the Gospel.

Despite these challenges, we remained steadfast in our faith. We prayed to God for His guidance. After some time, the individuals who were against us dispersed, and God opened doors for us to share the Gospel. Even in these difficult circumstances, God provided us with opportunities to reach people who were initially hesitant to approach us but were drawn to the Gospel message from the outside of their homes.

We firmly believe that God will work in the midst of these people and bear fruit from our efforts. For safety reasons, we have decided not to share the name of the village where we are currently serving. Brother P* is also serving in two other villages. We kindly request your prayers for these endeavors. 

Outreach Location #3

Pastor A*, a Bible Institute graduate, returned to his village after completing his studies. He began teaching the Bible verse-by-verse and book by book. He is witnessing remarkable growth among the believers in response to the Word of God. 

As John 3:16 states, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

During the Christmas outreach in M*, we had the privilege of witnessing the profound impact of Pastor A*’s unwavering dedication to serving the Lord. Individuals engaged in wholehearted worship and embraced the message of Jesus Christ. The Gospel was not confined to the churches but also extended to outdoor settings. It reached a broad audience and inspired countless individuals to surrender their lives to the Lord. We extend our prayers for the village.

Outreach Location #4

Pastor Ah* is serving in a neighboring state. He is diligently working among the impoverished villages. He faithfully teaches the Word of God and serves the community. We recently had the opportunity to conduct a Gospel outreach to reach the villagers. We fervently hope that the Word of God will bear fruit.

Outreach Location #5

The Christmas outreach at the home for the elderly was a great joy. It was heartwarming to see the church actively caring for widows and orphans, as the Bible instructs, “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction.” A* and his wife led the church team in providing love and care to the residents. We extend our prayers for their well-being.

Outreach During Christmas at Calvary Chapel in our Local City

What an incredible God we serve! We genuinely praise God for the transformative work He is doing within our church. Despite the challenges the people face in their lives, they remain steadfast in their faith and overcome these obstacles. Every year, we witness a remarkable growth in both the number and spiritual depth of our congregation. This Christmas, new people joined our church, and we had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with them. A few of the individuals responded positively, embracing Jesus as their Savior! We continue to extend our prayers for the church. 

Prayer Requests:

As we are celebrating the New Year, we are praying for the year ahead in our ministry plans. We are fervently praying and planning to increase our outreach efforts in the city.

Pray for C*, who is diligently serving in M* and sharing the Gospel with the villagers. He began Bible studies and eventually led the establishment of Sunday worship services.

Pray for A*, who is currently serving in three locations. We request your prayers for raising up pastors who can assume leadership roles in the churches and for the construction of a new church.

Pray for A*, who is serving in K* village.

We pray for P*, who is serving in the most challenging areas and ministering to two different villages.

We are also praying for the staff at the CBI campus in the city and for all of their needs. 

Thank you,

Pastor 6* and Family

Hello Everyone. Greetings.

I am very grateful for your prayers. I am very excited that God has done a wonderful work. Many people are being saved here through the Gospel! Through that, our church is growing. 

In this past few months, we have baptized many people who came to the Lord. There are some wonderful stories that I am very excited to share with you. I hope that through this God will be glorified. 

In the book of Acts, we see how God preaches the Gospel to the Ethiopian through Phillip. The Ethiopian immediately decided and said, “Look there is water here. Now what is stopping me from baptism?”

Phillip says, “If you believe with all your heart then you can take it!”

He said “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God”

A similar thing happened to a brother in my church. He had a lot of trouble in his family. He did all kinds of work to get out of the circumstances and to have peace. But he did not find satisfaction through Hindu rituals.

The same day that he heard the Word of God, he dedicated his life to the Lord. The next Sunday when he came to church, he said, “I want to get baptized.”

I told him to wait and learn more about God first, but he said, “I believe in the Lord. So what is stopping me?” The same day that this brother got baptized, his wife and father dedicated their lives to the Lord! 

Here is the story of another brother. He was very troubled because of family reasons. Eventually, his mother died. He became full of depression and anxiety. Evil held him in such a way that he tried to hang himself twice.

A person from our church shared about Jesus with him. From the time on, he wanted to come to church. The day he came to church and heard the whole Gospel, he said “I have never been so happy in my life before!” He decided to follow God. After that his whole family accepted Jesus.

A while ago a boy from our church was beaten up by an anti-social group. A video was even made of him that said that he was converted to another religion. The boy was very scared. He is only 15 years old. The boy’s family was very upset. But this family stood up for their faith. They said, “No matter what happens, we will not leave Jesus.” Keep them in your prayers. 

We distributed about 200 notebooks in our slum ministry for Christmas. We also donated school items to them.

Prayer Requests

• Pray for the people who have fully committed their lives to Christ. May they become strong in the Lord and keep learning the Word of God 
• There are some more families who are ready to be baptized. Pray for God’s timing and also for protection from anything evil.
• Pray for the family who is getting persecuted by fanatical anti-Christian groups. 
• Our church is growing day-by-day. We don’t have a proper place where we can meet and have freedom to do church activities. Please pray for God’s guidance in this.
• Our rent agreement is over now. Please pray for the landlord to extend our rent agreement for another year.

Thank you so much!

Dear Pastors, Leaders and Supporters, 

“But my heart’s passion is to preach the gospel where the name of Christ has not been spoken, lest I build on another’s foundation.”

Romans 15:20

Happy New Year to all of you.

I am thankful to God from the bottom of my heart that He is opening up villages for me to spread the Gospel in where no one has heard about Jesus Christ before.

Our First Christmas Outreach

God gave us two more villages where people heard the name of Jesus for the first time! One is a village that no one wants to enter. The people are very poor and of a lower caste. It is also very dangerous. People there beat up leaders and policemen. Even though the village is close to the city, the people had never heard the name of Jesus Christ before. When we got to the village we started inviting people to gather together. We then started explaining to them that we would pray for them. After that a huge crowd gathered.

First, we taught them the Christian action songs. Then we preached the Gospel to them and prayed for them. We distributed New Testaments, biscuits and candies to them. We also showed the Jesus film on a big screen through a projector.

After that we went to another village. There also we gathered everyone and sang an action song first. Then, we preached the Gospel and distributed New Testaments and biscuits. We also gave toffees to the children. Later we prayed for them. At that village one person accepted the Lord. After that we showed the film of Jesus Christ on the screen.

Praise God, that day more than 1000 people, including children and women, heard the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the first time and prayed for the first time.

All this is the answer to your prayers. Pray that we are able to establish a new church in this area soon.

Our Second Christmas Outreach

Thanks be to God! We celebrated Christmas in a home church where we have a weekly church service. Last year, some anti-Christian people came there and beat people up a lot. Because of that, many people stopped coming to the church.

But thanks be to God, we went there and invited everyone again and told them the news of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and encouraged them. We taught action songs to the children and distributed biscuits, balloons and candy. Those who had stopped coming to our home church came and joined in prayer once again and were prayed for.

The lady who is lying on the bed accepted the Lord Jesus Christ on December 25th. She has cancer. Please pray for her. The doctor charged her a lot of money and then sent her home saying that no one in this world can save her. But she has believed in the Lord and is coming to the church.

She sold everything in she had to get treatment but still could not get cured. When she first came, four people had to carry her to the church. But today I saw she came walking on her own feet with only one person helping her. Praise the Lord!

All the villagers in that village prepared a very tasty meal for us together. May God bless them all.

Our 3rd Christmas Outreach

Thank you for praying for us and always encouraging us.

With God’s grace, we were able to do an outreach in three more different villages. As we reached the first village, we sat down and started worshiping. Some people came and one of them protested badly. I thank God that He prepared the people there to calm him down. We continued to sit there and worship.

We preached the Word to the people and then went from house to house. We spent time in 5 or 6 of houses and prayed for the people. While we were leaving the village, one man accepted the Lord Jesus Christ. He promised that he will come to our church.

When we went to the second village, we preached the Gospel, distributed New Testaments and gave biscuits to the children. The people gave us a place to sit in front of there house. By God’s grace, one person accepted the Lord there also.

While we were distributing New Testaments in the 3rd village, a teacher opened his door for us so that we could sit there and pray for everyone. A girl was suffering from an evil spirit. The sisters of our church prayed together for her and God freed her from the evil spirit. We prayed for many people and gave them New Testaments. We also distributed biscuits to the children. The people in that village invited us to come again. We all returned to our homes thanking God.

Once again I thank you all for your prayers and for participating in the good news.

Our Christmas Celebration

I hope that your Christmas was a joy and blessing.

Thank God! We were able to celebrate Christmas very happily. There was no protest of any kind. 500 people were invited but only 300 came.

Out of those who came, more than 100 people heard the Good News for the first time. One person accepted the Lord during the celebration for Jesus Christ’s birthday.

The children of our church performed some action songs and dance programs. Gifts were distributed to the children.

Everyone had Christmas lunch together. It took us about 3 hours to feed everyone. Thank God that everything went well. 

May God bless you all!
