And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
MARK 16:15 (NKJV).
By the grace of God we are doing ministry. We already finished this semester’s formal classes at Calvary Bible Institute. Everything went well. For the end of our semester, we did outreach in the area where one of our staff, Pastor Milan ministers. All of our beloved students worked hard during the outreach. They prepared a skit, Gospel songs, dance and more. We did open air preaching at local places including the market area. We did our outreach with a tribal people group that our student Manish is serving with. Manish is the brother of Pastor Milan. He is taking care of these people and giving them sound doctrine and sound teaching. This people group is not very educated. They used to live only in the forest, not in houses like we live in. I am also doing ministry among these people. Some came to become students at our Calvary Bible Institute, but unfortunately they ran away from the Bible Institute. We shared and proclaimed the Gospel there like the Bible says “Go and preach to all the nations.”
God loves people, so we also love them, teach them, equip them and love to serve them. Another ministry we are doing is at the leper colony. We do Bible study every Friday at the leper colony. As our students are learning how to preach, serve, and conduct fellowship, they do practicums at the Leper Colony.
By the grace of God, we are teaching the book of 2nd Samuel. Over 20 people regularly attend our Friday Bible studies. Please pray that more unreached people from around the leper colony will come. I am also doing ministry at the Leper colony. God is using me to train the leper believers and raise them up in God’s Word.
By the grace of God this semester, I already finished the Gospel of Luke. I love to teach my dear students. They also enjoy learning. In my home church I am teaching the book of Hebrews. I love to teach and equip others. In the book of Hebrews, God taught the great lesson of how to have joy in Christ even in every bad circumstance. It talks about the angels, Moses, David, Abraham, the law, the Old Testament, and Melchizedek and that Jesus is the greatest of them all. The book teaches us to meet together in church fellowship; to be ready for the Lord’s coming, to encourage each other, to rejoice in Christ every day, not to loose everything that we got from Jesus. that we should always pray. The writer encourages his fellow brothers and sisters. We also should do that work in Christ to raise up others and encourage them and lift them up in Christ during hard times in ministry.
My beautiful wife is also helping me and helping at Calvary Bible Institute. She helps raise up young and old women in God’s Word. She is teaching a Bible study where many sisters and mothers from different churches gather online. She already finished teaching the book of Genesis. She went through Genesis in a year and a half by teaching verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter. Now she is teaching the book of Revelation every week on Sundays. Pray for her to have a baby. If it is not God’s will pray that He will provide a good job for her, because other people look down on her if she only has free time. They will gossip. So to stop people gossiping, she needs a nice job. We are planning to try to go to the doctor again to try to have a baby. The first time we went to the doctor it did not work, so we saved our money even while we were moving to our new church and are now planning to go back to the doctor.
We have been married for over 5 years now. In our country’s culture for a woman to not have a baby is like being cursed. Our family also is not supportive of us not being able to have a baby. They gossip about it, so we also feel very bad at family gatherings. Other women say things to my wife like “I do not even want to look at your face, because you do not have a baby.” Because of this, we are facing a lot of difficulties right now. Please pray for us to have a baby and that God will provide for us to have further treatment at the doctor if it is His will.
More people are coming to our church. More teenagers and young adults are also joining our church. We are also doing children’s ministry. Pray that the children’s parents will allow them to come to our church.
Prayer Requests:
- Pray that God will bring more people to our church.
- My friend Sujan reads his Bible a lot. He always comes to our church every week. Pray that he will accept Jesus as his personal Savior.
- Pray that parents will allow their children to come to our church.
- In the surrounding area of our church many people are hearing the Gospel and the Word of God shared. Pray that they will accept Jesus and come to church.
- Teenagers and young adults enjoy musical instruments. Pray that God will provide music for the church.
- Pray that God will provide me with the ability to live-stream easily.
Thank you so much for supporting us, praying for us and raising us up in the Lord. God bless every entire family of Saving Grace World Missions.
Grace and Peace.
Your Faithful Servants,
