Praise the Lord!

First of all, I thank God the Father that He has kept me and my family safe. I thank Him for His faithfulness. 

I thank God for all you prayer warriors who have been continuously praying for me and my family. By the grace of God, my family is doing well and the people of our church are also doing well. Please keep praying for my ministry and that God will reach hearts and bring new families into my church. 

We study the Bible with both of our children daily. My son has memorized the full chapter of Psalm 119. He is currently memorizing the book of Hebrews. Please pray that he continues to grow in the fear of the Lord and the Word of the Lord. We also do Bible story skits with both of our children. 

Ministry Update:

My vision is to do prayer walks together with outreach this year. I have focused on four districts. The plan is to pray for at least 10 to 15 minutes in each of the villages within these districts and then proceed to the next village. 

My Main Prayer Requests for Each Village:

1. May the Lord work in the lives of the villagers and turn their hearts towards God. 
2. Against all the devil’s strongholds in each village. 
3. To save people from ignorance, from darkness, and from superstition.

Please especially pray for me, that my body will be healthy so that I can serve the Lord.

This month I went to 4 of these villages and 3 famous temples and prayed over them. Please pray for these villages and temples 

I would especially like to thank the hands who are supporting me financially. May the Lord bless you abundantly!! 

In the Lord,

Your Brother,

Pastor 8* and Family

“And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”

Luke 18:27

For many years, I have wanted to go to the place where the world’s tallest mountain is. I could not go, because my mom had fallen from a ladder and she became ill. I have taken care of her since her fall. After praying about this place for 7 years, God brought a student from this place to our Calvary Bible Institute. He is short in height but strong physically. His name is Pasang. He has no parents and no one to take care of him. We convinced him that we will take care of him like our own brother or sister and he will be like family to us. Now he is almost finished with the Bible Institute. He will graduate soon.

It is exciting to share about the mission trip that we took to the area that Pasang is from and share the story of how God is moving in our midst. Pasang lost his father and mother in early childhood. There is a blind man named Dawa who lives in Pasang’s village. He is a pastor who had been to Bible College. He took Pasang in and fed him like a mother feeds her small baby. He sent Pasang to our Bible College to study God’s Word. Pasang has now reached his last semester. When I visited his village for a couple of weeks, I saw that Pasang has a servant’s heart. He took care of the blind pastor, Dawa, and helped him in ministry. When I watched them, they reminded me of Paul and Timothy. Pasang is teaching and playing the guitar, as well. 

They have started a church for the main tribe that lives there. People from another tribe also come to the church. The church has 70 people who come. On Saturdays, 40 people attend the service. This is a very hilly place, so they have a lot of work to do. There are still 300 houses and many more families that are still unreached in this area.

There are 5 people in their church that are blind. When we heard the story of how this church was established, it did not sound easy to open a church in this area. People from the village created many obstacles of persecution to try to prevent the building of the church. God was with the Christians, though, and they were able to finally establish the church after many problems. Pastor Dawa shared how the villagers threatened him. Many times the police came and took Pastor Dawa to interrogate him. When we visited the believers’ houses, we heard how the people in their villages persecuted them and threatened them because they were living for Christ. Pray for those who have persecuted them to be saved. To God be the glory.

Thank you for sending us, supporting us and praying for us. We were encouraged by Pasang’s ministry. He had no father or mother, was raised up by his pastor and then was sent to our Bible college to learn to walk in faith and learn the Word. We believe that God has a greater plan for this area.

We are doing children’s ministry at our Calvary Chapel. Many more children are interested in coming to our church, but their parents do not allow them to enter our church. Pray that God will work in the hearts of the parents and that they will send their children to our church.

Our church has already finished the book of 1st Timothy. We are starting the book of Matthew now. In our Saturday service we are studying 2nd Timothy. After the service ends, we have a youth fellowship. Also, on Wednesdays, we have Bible study on the Book of Ezekiel.

My beautiful wife is teaching the book of Revelation on an online social media platform. Many sisters in the Lord are connected through this social platform in our country and other countries. She has now reached chapter 10 in Revelation with this group of ladies.

Pray Requests:

1. Pray that God will cause all the children in our locality to be able to come into our church building.
2. Many in our church are still students and are not of working age. Pray that God will provide for all of our church’s needs.
3. A lot of noise comes in from outside when we are worshiping, so it is not easy to hear the songs sung by the choir. Pray that God will provide for our choir team to be able to lead worship well.

Thank you so much for supporting us, praying for us, and raising us up. God bless every entire family of the Saving Grace family.

Grace and peace,

Your faithful servants,

Rabi and Mahima

The end of every year becomes a season of great harvest and sending out workers. We have a lot of Christmas outreaches with great joy and happiness. 

Like we do every year, at the end of last year we had a great time of harvest. On November 15, 2023, ten students graduated from our Calvary Bible Institute. So much prayer, support, and hard work has been invested in the lives of those dear ones. For two years we equipped them for ministry for the kingdom of God. As we see them with their courses completed and ready to go, great joy and happiness fills our hearts.

The church members invited many of their neighbors and relatives on Christmas. It was a good time to share the love of God with a precious Gospel message.

We had so many open-air outreaches throughout the month of December in the capital and two other areas. So many people heard the Gospel message. It was a great time to share the Lord Jesus with them. 

As we entered the New year, on the last night of the year, we gathered together at our church. We thanked God for His greatness and faithfulness in to our lives throughout the year. We also welcomed the new year in prayer. May we fall in love with God and His Word more than before and live it out!

Worship & Music Workshop (Jan 7-11. 2024) 

We organized a “Worship & Music Workshop” that lasted for five days. We expected 30-40 teens and young adults, but 53 people came. It was very exciting to teach them through God’s Word about worship, music theory, and different musical instruments. It was also a good time to share about the importance of studying God’s Word. We shared about our Bible College, Calvary Bible Institute, and invited them to study there.

I used to be a member of a worship team. We all know that everyone loves music, especially youth. It is always a good way to approach them through music. This is true in the Christian circle also. It is always most important that we teach them not only music, but also teach them how to worship God based on His Word.

We did not have enough rooms to contain all of the guitar players, so we used an open area as well- music with nature. 

Praise God for every opportunity to serve Him!

“…and low I am with you even to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:20(b)

During our trip we experienced more than 22,000 miles of travel and temperatures ranging over 130 degrees (95 degrees in UG and -42 degrees wind chill in NE). We had meetings nearly every day; seeing, greeting, and sharing with hundreds of individuals. We gave many hugs that were too brief with friends and relatives and had so many late nights catching up with loved ones. There were tears of sorrow as we shared grief over loved ones that we never got to say goodbye to and happy tears, as we saw long-awaited hopes fulfilled, especially watching our dear friends join in marriage. So many smiles. So many hugs. So many prayers answered. So many testimonies to God’s goodness. Putting it all into a paragraph doesn’t quite do justice to the last 7 weeks of travel. But after such a FULL two months, we are glad to be back in the hot, red dust of Uganda. I think it was happy to see us too, it practically jumped on us as soon as we arrived home.

Cynthia is happy to be back home too. She had a really great time with our good friends Allan and Shillah, and especially with their baby. She has jumped seamlessly back into our routine. I have seen a contentment in her that I haven’t seen in her before, no doubt it is seeds planted by her hosts who have always been examples of humility and generosity.

We had time to get our house in order before going full-swing back into ministry. As we were leaving the US we came down with a terrible flu, starting with a mild cough and fever, developing into full-on hacking fits. As bad as it was, we were thankful for the extra time it bought us to recover from particularly bad jet-lag.

All in all, we are happy to see what new things God will bring about over this next stint, and how the fruit will develop which we have seen Him bring forth from time past.

Below are some verses which we would love for you to pray over our family this year, and even over our students and pastors:

Proverbs 4:25-27

Galatians 6:9

Colossians 3

Colossians 2:6-12

In Christ,

Matt & Noelle & Family

Dear Friends and Family,

I count it as a privilege to share with you about what I have been privileged to do here in my country.

On December 12, I started getting sick. By December 13th I was unable to get up from my bed, but by God’s grace I was up and about by the 16th. I did not have much strength, but I trusted in the Lord every step of the way. The Lord used me to go to various different places.

Christmas is a season when there is freedom for us to have public events. Also many who are unreached come to churches. They think that Jesus is one among the other gods. It is a great opportunity to share the Gospel. Because of this, many try to go to as many places as possible to use this opportunity and so did I.

I traveled along with some men who are in our fellowship. The Lord used me to share His Word in many places.

The place where we run a Bible school is about 5 hours away from where we did ministry this Christmas. Even though it is far, the Lord has opened doors for me in this area. I have been praying about what the Lord would lead me to do in regards to the ministry in this area. People in this area are interested to go and share about Jesus, but they do not have anyone who encourages them or is able to teach them the Word.

You might wonder how they have this desire. About a year and a half ago, I conducted a youth retreat for 2 days. That is when most of the people got saved. They have kept in touch with me and also with four of my pastor friends who are from this area.

I had open doors in these areas because one or two people in each of the different places made the arrangements for me to share the Gospel in different villages and also at a school.

During this whole time, I was privileged to hear stories of how some of the people got saved. After many years of marriage, some of the families had still not had children, however after I prayed for them, some of them have had children. Some others are expecting a child. I am thankful to the Lord for using me in this. The joy of this is that the people (who were from a different faith) had made a decision in their hearts, that if God gives them a child then they with accept him as their Lord and Savior! Now their houses are filled with light. Their old practices and all the wall hangings from the past faith and belief are no longer there. Glory to God for what He has done!

Another thing that has brought me great joy is what happened with a man from a village. Before, he was not able to have peace. He listed to teachings from different religions, but was not at all satisfied. He even heard some teachings from the Bible from different people who were teaching the prosperity Gospel, but he was not satisfied. He listed to some music which helped him feel peace, however he was in search for the truth.

There is no church in this man’s village. He goes to college in another town. When he asked around, he learned that there was a church in that town. He tried to go to the church there, but he was unable to. However, 3 weeks ago he finally was able to come to the church. It was right when I was teaching at this church. He wanted to meet me after church, so he asked one of the men in the church. The next day we spent time together. I shared the Gospel with him. By the end of our conversation, he was on his knees in tears. He said, “Today I have true peace in my heart like I have never felt before. I have never felt so light and so joyous my life.” I gave him a Bible and have been in touch with him.

He told his family that he has accepted Christ. His family said, “If that is where your heart is, we will not stop you from it.” Glory to God alone!

Going around sharing the Gospel in different places allowed me to minister to various kinds of people. Among the groups, there were gangsters at different places. They heard the Gospel. I was privileged to meet five men personally who gave their lives to the Lord. How wonderful it is to see the Lord ministering to the younger generation! What a privilege it is for me to see the Lord use me. He has chosen. He has trained. He has sent. He has given opportunities. He alone gets the glory as He chose them all. I am privileged to work in the Lord’s vineyard.

As the year began, I was privileged to attend New Years service at 3 different locations after our church service. On January 3rd I traveled back home for my parents’ wedding anniversary on the 4th. My cousin got married on January 7th. So from the 5th until the 8th, I spent time with family and made arrangements for the wedding.

On the 9th, I traveled to do ministry at another location that is 9 hours away from my home. I shared God’s Word at one place for three days while my dad and mom did at a nearby location. Then I was back to church on Sunday. On Monday morning, I again went to another town. On January 16th, I will be sharing God’s Word at one other place and then will be returning home.

I have shared with you all good and exciting things that happened, but there were many challenges along the way. Some places we were forced to leave because they did now want us to share the Gospel. In other places we were warned not to do anything in public. The hindrances are present, but looking at the opportunities God creates in between is joyous. Please pray as the Lord uses me and our guys. Thank you!

Yours in Christ,

Pastor 4*

Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Dear supporters and prayer partners, thank you for your prayers and financial support. We are praying for your family and your country. By the grace of God, my family and I are doing well. God has kept us safe. 

Last month, I had a chance to lead the Sunday service in B* Village. I had fellowship with them in the Word of God. I am teaching them from the book of Ephesians. 

Two Hindu families were reached with the Gospel during our Christmas outreach. We shared the Gospel with them and prayed for them. 

We had also organized a program for the kids in December (above). Almost 50 kids participated in the program. We shared the Gospel through a skit and songs and prayed for them, then we distributed gifts. We had a wonderful time with them. 

Last month, I also had a chance to visit K* Village (above). The pastor invited me to share the Word of God during their Christmas program. It was a great time of fellowship. There were many new people there that came because of Christmas. We distributed New Testaments and gifts to them and prayed for them. 

As the year was ending, God gave us the opportunity to gather with the believers in our church. We were able to fellowship with them, pray together, and give thanks to God for all the blessings which He gave us in our lives last year…and for adding a new year in our life. 

Prayer Requests

• Please pray for my children to grow in the fear and knowledge of the Lord.
• Please pray that the Lord would intervene in the problems the world is facing.
• Please pray for the local village ministry. May the villagers grow in their understanding of the Word of God. 

Blessings,

Pastor 16* and Family

Dear Ministry Partners,  

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

”For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations”

(Psalm 100:5)

Truly, God is good all the time!

December is a very exciting month for all Christians around the world to celebrate a historical event. During this Christmas season, God was so good to provide all the things that are necessary for our family and keep us blessed. Thank you, ministry partners, for your earnest prayers and financial support. We have been praying for you and your family continually. May God bless you.

One of our church members, a 29-year-old girl, testified for the Lord through water baptism. Thank God for her life and commitment!

We as a church family were engaged in different Christmas activities. There was a Christmas rally in the city . Many Hindu fanatic groups were not happy, yet, by God’s grace, we did it.

As we do every year, our church hosted a kids Christmas program (above). It is very enjoyable for the kids. We can tell by the look on their faces! Our main focus is on the non-Christian kids that attend. We share the love of Jesus along with snacks and gifts.

We did three days of Christmas caroling where we visited door to door and shared the love of Jesus. We also had a potluck dinner (above) with our church families followed by a watch night service.  

As a family, we participate in all the church activities and visit some family homes to testify of the Lord and pray for them. My daughter took a certain special exam (above) for the first time. It was a good experience for her.

Prayer Requests:

• Please pray for all of the kids who attended the Christmas program. Pray that God will touch their hearts so that someday they will come to the Lord.  
• Please pray for the sister who got baptized. May she continue to grow in the Lord. May many souls be added into God’s Kingdom through her witness.
• Kindly pray for the growth of our Church. 
• Recently, we surveyed a piece of land for our church. Kindly pray that God will open the door to buy it.
• Kindly pray for me and my family- that the Lord will use us for the expansion of His Kingdom. Also, pray for our daughter’s studies.  

Thank you very much for your prayers and support!

In Him,

Greetings from Mexico! In this update I am excited to tell you about a new outreach our church has begun in the new year! One of our focuses’ of 2024 is reaching and blessing our community. The center of this plan is the opening up our new Calvary Athletic Park to our friends and neighbors in Rosarito. In this update I am excited to tell you all about it.

Growing up in the Vincent Family, Sports was always a major part of our home life. My dad Mark was always our coach, my mom Diane was always our team mom, and Mitch,  Matt,  and I always did our best playing whatever sport was in season. (Little league baseball, JUSA soccer, and eventually basketball) We were blessed to grow up at Rose Drive Friends Church and our Pastor CW Perry loved sports so much, we had a full gymnasium and softball field on our church campus. I have many great memories growing up having fun playing sports at church! I feel blessed and honored that our church in Mexico is continuing on in that same tradition.

Our major facilities overhaul began last year as we began preparing and transforming our south parking lot, into a new multi-use athletic facility. After 3 months of hard work and generous investment, we now have three completed athletic fields filling up that large area. We have a sand volleyball court, a large basketball court, and a small soccer field. (Indoor soccer, with a 4 foot fence surrounding it to keep the soccer ball in play)

These sports courts will have numerous uses. First off, we plan on hosting tournaments and leagues throughout the year in all three sports. The teams in these leagues will be open to believers and unbelievers, people that attend our church, and those that don’t! Please keep these upcoming tournaments and sports leagues in your prayers!

Secondly, we also have the athletic fields open before and after all of our church services. We have seen this be an especially big hit with the youth. In fact, earlier this month we had a high school mission’s team visit us from California, and after joining our youth group for their Wednesday night church service, their church put together a basketball team and played the boys from our youth group. There were over 100 people packed around the court, watching this epic USA vs. Mexico hoop classic. It was a great game, and I am proud to tell you that our church boys defeated their friends from up north!

Third and finally, we plan on opening up Calvary Athletic Park to our community two days per week! During these open times, we will have one of our church staff members caring for the fields and organizing games for those in attendance!

One of the things that excites me the most is that my son Daniel is going to be helping with our church’s sports program! With his experience in our cities basketball leagues, and his many connections throughout our city, I know that God is going to use Daniel and our other team members to be a blessing to our church family and to our community!

Another great blessing of our new sports court, is it has opened up a large cemented area to expand our children’s playground. (Where our old smaller basketball court used to be!) My dad Mark kindly donated much of his old playground he had out front of his house in Silverado (Since his grandchildren have all grown up) and we had another stateside friend donate a used playground from a park and we put it all together to make a brand new (to us) expanded play area for our children!

The children at our church are having a blast with their new expanded play area, but once again, this play area will be open to our community as well. (During those same hours that Calvary Athletic Park is open!) Sports are very popular here in Mexico, but unfortunately, there are very few parks and athletic fields open to the public! We are so thankful that God has provided this new area to be a blessing not only to our church, but to our city as well!

Finally, I want to thank you once again for the privilege and honor of serving as your missionaries here in Mexico.  There are many places you can invest your finances, and we feel honored and blessed that you have chosen to partner with us in this great missions work! We love you and give thanks for you! 

Con mucho amor de Mexico,  (with much love from Mexico)

Mike, Sarah, Grace, and Daniel

 Dear Pastors, Supporters and Church Family, 

Greetings from my church to all of you!

Thank God that He helps us do all kinds of outreach. By the grace of God, the Gospel has reached 5 new villages! We were able to spread the news of the Lord Jesus Christ to a distance of about 1100 to 1200 kilometres (680 – 746 miles). 

Some of these further outreaches were done as follows:

1. Handed out New Testaments.
2. Distributed biscuits to children.
3. Went from house to house preaching the Gospel and praying.
4. Played the Jesus film in 2 new villages.
5. Celebrated Christmas with 300 people and also fed them lunch and preached the Gospel.
6. Gave gifts to the children of our church who performed Christmas dance and drama etc.

If I were to write about each outreach in detail, it would take a lot of time, so I would like to share with you about three of these outreaches.

We showed the Jesus film, despite opposition, in a very rural and untouched village that is 400 kilometers away from my home!

Thank you for your prayers. Through your prayers and by God’s grace, I was able to reach a very untouched village. It took us about 8 hours by motorbike to reach this village. It was very challenging for me to ride a bike for such a long distance for the first time, but this was to share the Good News of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

When entering the village, I felt as if I had reached another world, because very rural people live there. My heart was filled with the hunger and thirst for the Lord Jesus Christ in this place. When we arrived, we did a prayer walk through the village. In the evening, we showed films in the village. People brought their blankets. Despite the cold, they watched the movie under the blankets. They sat near the fire and asked many questions about the Lord Jesus Christ. Many people asked us to pray about their problems in their homes. But some of them, who had traveled before and worked in another state, opposed the Lord Jesus Christ and started arguing. The other villagers there supported us and pacified them. Thank God that two people in this village believed in the Lord Jesus Christ! 

When we were leaving, after showing the movie, it was very challenging for us to cross the bamboo bridge due to darkness. By the grace of God, we were able to reach another village safely. When we went to the next village, we were shown very good hospitality there, also. They had prepared good food for us. 

The next day we showed them the Jesus Film, and people also came to watch the film in this village, as well. People sat down with their lotus flowers to watch the film and made a fire. Even in the cold, they stayed to watch until the end and it caused people to pray. In this village, people had installed big loudspeakers and had brought a sound system that they rented. I preached the Good News of the Lord Jesus Christ on the microphone. The people of the entire village, about 5,000 people, heard the Good News of the Gospel! Two people accepted the Lord Jesus Christ in this village, also. Praise God!

We had a wonderful Christmas with 300 people, Christmas dances and Christmas skits!

I thank God that like every year in the past, this year God kept all of us safe during Christmas. It was a time of joy and fun. We went to four villages before Christmas and preached the Good News, gave them New Testaments, and invited them all to come to our church on Christmas. They all came!

Together, we were about 300 people. The children danced very well during the birthday song of Jesus. After watching the play, we were able to celebrate the birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ with great joy and happiness. The children who danced and performed were also given gifts. Food was arranged for all those who came. I thank God and all of you that with your help all this was possible.

Prayer Requests:

1. Please pray that the people who believed in Jesus where we did outreach remain steadfast in the Lord.
2. Please pray that my mother’s health and bones get better.
3. Please pray that the people of our church will remain grounded in the faith and know God’s Word more deeply.
4. Please pray for our Admin’s father who is ill, may God heal him completely.
5. Please pray for us as we are restarting the fellowship which was stopped two months ago due to opposition. Pray that God will protect me and my church.
6. Please pray for my wife’s health. She has thyroid problems. May God heal her completely.
7. Please pray that God gives us a child.

Thanks for your love, support and partnership for the Gospel.

God bless you all!

Dear Team,



I wish you much joy and blessings in this New Year! Last year was great and filled with God’s goodness. I am so thankful for each and every one of you. The fact that you are all praying for me is the biggest blessing and strength in my life. God is always faithful and I am grateful to our Lord. It gives me so much joy to see how He is using me in different districts and villages here in my area.

In my area, it is very rare to find people with Christian literature, and even more rare to see children with Christian books. Most children are exposed only to Hinduism, not to the Gospel or a story from the Bible. The Lord has given me a great burden for the children. They are the next generation. I was greatly blessed to be able to get and distribute many books that are composed of Bible stories. These books are for different ages and grades, from very young kids to teenagers. They cover stories from the Old Testament as well as the New Testament.

As I visit the villages with these books, the children are very open and excited to hear the stories. This is the first time they saw books like this, and they are able to hold them in their hands. They value these gifts.

When I visit them, I divide them into groups based on their age and grade in school. I assign a leader to each group and ask them to read out loud, so that the others who cannot read can understand.

I was also able to bring Bibles and give them to the kids who have a heart to learn the Word of God, who are also able to read and write. As I continue to visit them, I plan to spend time with these children and help them understand God’s Word. 

“All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children.”

Isaiah 54:13

In one of the villages I visit regularly, there is a young girl whose family I have been ministering to. This young girl was the first in her family to give her life to the Lord. Her faith has drawn her family closer to Him. She is in 10th grade and has become very busy, but she still has an interest to serve.

I have asked her to read these stories to the younger children that are unable to read and to even help them as they pray. The children love her and pay close attention as she reads. I am praying that this young girl will continue to draw closer to the Lord and grow a heart to serve Him.

I am asking God to raise up many young men and women like her in every village I visit. It is so easy to focus on having a career and the things of life, but I hope these young people can understand they have an even brighter future serving the King of Glory.

When I reach the areas where I do ministry, sometimes the parents are out in the agricultural fields working, but they invite me to teach their children. The children are usually with their grandparents at home. When I gather the kids, the elderly people are nearby watching the children and listening to what I share. Sometimes the grandparents might not be interested to come on their own, but because their grandchildren are interested, they will come and learn in the process. God is wonderful! His Word never returns void.

“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”

Isaiah 55:11

I am seeing how the Lord is working, how He has a purpose in all things. He has given me vision to see these children as the future generation to carry the Gospel to my nation. My nation is full of darkness, but if these children come to know the Lord, their lights will shine so bright for Jesus and change this land. His work is not only for the future, it is for now as well. He is moving today and He is carrying His Word forth.

Please continue to pray for my mother’s health. It is winter here. This is the most difficult season for people who have trouble with their respiratory system!

God bless,

Pastor 7*
