Empowering, Serving, and Sharing God’s Love – Anand Update May 2025

New Beginnings

We have five new students in our Bible college. Now, we have a total of 21 students. Six students will complete their studies at the end of this semester. This semester, our first-semester students are studying Genesis, 1, 2 & 3 John, and James. All of the students are also learning from Exodus, Isaiah, the Gospel of John, and Revelation. The semester will last for four months, from February to May. We will focus on community outreach during this time. Every Sunday evening, our students go out for a couple of hours to share the Gospel. Please pray for them as they continue to grow in God’s Word. May the Lord bless their learning and ministry!

Prayer Requests:

  • Pray for the new students as they begin their studies. Pray that they may grow in their knowledge of God’s Word and become strong in their faith.
  • Pray for the students’ outreach efforts every Sunday evening. Please pray that their efforts to share the Gospel will bear fruit in the community.

Faith in Action

We are thankful to have Dhan and Bijay as interns at our Bible College. They were both excellent students during their time here. Dhan graduated in November 2023, and Bijay graduated in October 2024. Though both of them have lost their earthly fathers, they have found comfort in God as their Father. 

Dhan and Bijay are a big help at the college. They are always ready to serve wherever is needed. Every week, they take students out to share the Gospel. They also support students in their studies and help them grow spiritually. Sometimes, they even help in the kitchen. They always have a joyful attitude.

Both Dhan and Bijay are talented Bible teachers and love sharing God’s Word. We are truly thankful for their lives and for their commitment to serving God in His ministry.

Prayer Requests:

  • Pray for Dhan and Bijay as they continue their internship. Pray that they may be encouraged and strengthened in their service.
  • Pray for their ministry efforts, that God would continue to use them powerfully to teach His Word and lead others to Christ.

Blankets of Love

There are many valleys that the Gospel has not yet reached. There are no Christians or churches in those areas. People there put their hope in things that are not true. They are misguided, hidden from the truth, and have never been told the truth for generations. They are content with their own way of life. Their homes have high walls. Outsiders are not allowed in or welcomed. 

We were wondering how we could help these people. One of our friends asked them what their greatest need was. They said that needed blankets more than anything else. So, we decided to provide a blanket to every household. We were unsure how we would be able to buy 200 blankets for the people in the valley, but we know that our God can do the impossible. 

People came to receive the blankets. We were able to share the Gospel with them, which is warmer than any blanket. Please pray for these Himalayan people to come to know the warm love of Jesus.

Prayer Requests:

  • Pray for the people in the Himalayan valleys to be open to hearing the Gospel and to experience the warmth of God’s love.
  • Pray for the success of the blanket distribution. May it be a meaningful way to build relationships and share the Gospel.

Thank you,

Anand and Usha and Family
