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
