Warm greetings to you in the precious and mighty name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I trust you are doing well and continuing to walk in the joy and peace that only Christ can provide. As I look back on the month of June, I am filled with thankfulness for the faithfulness of God in every step of our journey. His grace has been our strength, His Word our anchor, and His presence our greatest treasure.

This past month has reminded me again that ministry is not defined by size or visible success, but by faithful hearts surrendered to Jesus. Whether in small gatherings, quiet moments of prayer, or simple conversations centered on God’s truth, the Lord has made His nearness known. We are seeing lives touched—not by our efforts, but by the gentle and powerful work of His Spirit.

Every fellowship meeting, every outreach opportunity, and every moment spent in God’s Word has carried a sense of His purpose. Even though we are few in number, the Lord is building in us a deeper hunger for His truth and a stronger desire to walk in His ways. He is teaching us to find joy in serving, to trust Him in the unseen, and to grow together as His family.

Saturday, June 7: Outreach Visit with Brother S*

This day was very special. I had the opportunity to visit a village with Brother S*, who is a sincere and spiritually hungry young man. Though we had planned a month ago to have a Bible class, it did not happen at that time. But in God’s perfect timing, on Thursday, Brother Sunil suddenly said to me, “We could do the Bible class this Saturday morning. What do you think?”

I gladly said, “Yes, we will do it,” because I had been prayerfully looking for an opportunity to teach the truth of God’s Word.

Brother P* and I prayed and started our journey early in the morning. When we arrived, 8 to 10 people had gathered in a small church building. I was deeply humbled to hear that this was the very first Bible class ever held in their area. I shared the Word of God, and the people received it with great joy and thankfulness. It touched my heart and reminded me that there are still many places waiting to hear the truth. I truly believe that God is the one opening these doors in His perfect time. It is my prayer that His truth will continue to spread everywhere, and that He would keep using me to teach and share His Word faithfully.

After the meeting, we went to Brother S*’s home. His family welcomed us warmly. We had deep spiritual conversations. Brother S* shared his burden and concern about the way ministry is being done in many places. He asked for help and guidance to grow spiritually and to do ministry in a way that honors the Lord. I was humbled by his sincerity. I encouraged him to continue seeking the Lord, and we prayed together. His family expressed a real hunger for the Word. Please pray for them.

Wednesday, June 11 : Weekly Bible Class

In the morning, we gathered for our weekly Bible class. Sister M* opened our time together with a heartfelt prayer, inviting the presence of the Lord to be with us. We then entered into worship, singing songs of praise and thanksgiving. It was a joyful and reverent atmosphere, as we lifted up the name of Jesus together. After worship, I continued teaching from the Gospel of John, chapter 3. I shared the truths God had placed on my heart during my study and preparation over the past few days. The Lord gave me clarity and boldness to explain His Word. I emphasized the new birth through the Spirit and the love of God revealed through Jesus Christ. The class was attentive, and I sensed that the Holy Spirit was at work during the teaching.

Following the class, we all shared a meal together, continuing in fellowship. After lunch, we remained in the spirit of worship and spent more time in prayer and song practice. We encouraged one another and lifted up praises to God as we prepared for future gatherings. We remained together in this spirit of worship and fellowship until 5:00 PM. It was a truly blessed time, not just of learning, but of building unity and spiritual strength among the believers. 

Friday, June 13: Youth Program–A Day of Impact and Learning

We had invited about 30 boys and girls, but by God’s design, 15 youth members joined us. Although fewer came than expected, we trusted that those who attended were chosen by God to receive what He had prepared for them. The program started with worship and prayer. Brother M* opened with a heartfelt prayer, and together we worshiped the Lord through singing. It was a joyful time, where we could see the youth genuinely participating and singing praises to God. Worship set the right atmosphere, opening our hearts to hear from God. After the worship, I shared Bible teaching focused on encouraging the youth to walk faithfully with the Lord, live in holiness, and trust in His plans for their lives. I taught with the desire that God would ignite a fire in their hearts to follow Jesus.

At 1:00 PM, we had a lunch break, which gave us the opportunity to spend informal time with the youth, building relationships and getting to know their hearts better. The most powerful part of the day was the Question and Answer session, which lasted from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM, without stopping. The youth asked many important and meaningful questions about faith, Christian living, the Bible, and life’s challenges. Their hunger to learn more was very encouraging. It was not just a formal session—it was a real conversation where doubts were cleared, and Biblical truths were explained. This Q&A time became a life-changing moment for many. The youth were fully engaged, and God’s Spirit was working in our midst. We truly felt the presence of the Lord throughout the entire session. It was more than just a program—it was a divine appointment.

Wednesday, June 18: Bible Class

We gathered together as a fellowship for our weekly Bible class. Sister M* led us beautifully in the opening prayer, preparing our hearts to focus on the Lord. We began the session by worshiping God through songs, lifting our voices in praise and inviting His presence into our midst. I had the privilege of continuing to teach from God’s Word. It was a special class because some people who hadn’t joined us in a long time returned—one of our brother’s friends came back after a long absence, and my wife’s aunt also joined the class after being away for some time. Their presence reminded me that God is always working to draw His people back to Himself. After the teaching, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, we had an engaging question and answer session. It was encouraging to see that people were not just listening but genuinely wrestling with the Word, desiring to understand and apply it in their lives. These moments of interaction show that the Word is sinking in deep, and I praise God for that. 

Prayer Requests:

1. Please pray for our small fellowship, that we may continually grow in the Lord, remain strong in our faith, and always stand for the truth of God’s Word. We desire to be faithful in both our walk and our witness, even though we are small in number.
2. Please pray for our brothers in the fellowship who are seeking jobs. They are specifically looking for work nearby because they do not want to leave this fellowship. They deeply value being part of this church family and are willing to sacrifice better opportunities elsewhere in order to stay connected and grow in Christ.
3. Please pray for the new fellowship we are praying to start, focused on reaching out to the youth with the true Word of God. We desire to teach them sound doctrine and lead them to a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ.
4. Please pray for my wife, that God would fill her with His Spirit and use both of us mightily for His kingdom. Please pray that the Lord would grant us wisdom, knowledge, and a heart of humility as we lead and guide those whom God has entrusted to us as part of the Calvary Chapel Saving Grace family.

Thank you so much for your faithful partnership, prayers, understanding, encouragement, and support. We are truly blessed to be part of this family. Please continue to pray for us, that we may build God’s kingdom in this place and that many people would come to know the truth of the Gospel.
