Greetings! Jai Masih Ki! (Praise the Lord!)

I hope you all are well. I thank the Lord that He has taken care of you and us. Praise the Lord! A while ago I was sick. You all prayed for me continuously and now I am fine! Thank you for your continuous prayers. May the Lord bless you all.

Lately all the women of the village are coming to my church. Some of them are true believers and some live a life of compromise. Four or five young people also come to my church who are already believers. I am teaching through the Acts of the apostles in my church. Pray for the people who come to grow strongly in the holy Word of the Lord.

For a while we have also been doing Friday meetings. Some of the women of our village come and my family members come. We pray together. I have also been giving New Testaments to many people

While I was traveling to another village area, I met some people on the way. They were from far away and they have been working here for a long time. While I was on my way back they were walking down the road. They waved to me and asked me to give them a ride. I did not know them. They said “Brother, please give both of us a ride.” But there were four of them.

Then the Lord put it in my heart that this was a good opportunity. I first took two people on my bike, then I came to pick up the other two and dropped them off also. They started saying, “God bless you.”

I thanked God in my mind and told them the Gospel of the Lord. They got very excited and started asking me many things about Jesus Christ. The Lord helped me. I talked to them with the Word of the Lord and told them everything about Jesus Christ. Then they started telling about themselves. They were very upset with their lives because they were going through many difficulties. They told me about their circumstances. I prayed with them and told them to believe in the Lord. He will make everything right. They were very excited. They gave me their phone number. Now, I am in contact with them about every other day. Please pray for them. May the Lord change their hearts so that they can know the truth.

A while ago, I got engaged. The my fiancee’s brothers had come back to their home village. They asked me to come meet them so I went to their village to meet them. They already knew that I am a Christian and know Jesus Christ. When I met them, we talked. I had met them twice before, but we were only together for a very short time. That day, a few other guests had also come to their house. I asked the two brothers to go somewhere with me. I thanked the Lord in my heart because I had asked them to go for a walk so that I could share the Gospel with them. We went and rested at a secluded place. We talked a lot among ourselves. Two other boys had also come with them. I told them all the Gospel of the Lord. I shared many things about Jesus with them. They got very excited. They began telling me that their village is full of Pundits. People worship idols a lot. They warned me to stay away from those people because they would oppose me.

I told them that Lord will change those people’s hearts and will transform their hearts too. I prayed for them. When we came back and sat with the guests who had come, one brother told them “He believes in Jesus Christ.” After that, the guests started asking me many questions and started talking about different things about Jesus Christ. Thank be to the Lord, He gave me courage so that I could answer them and tell them the Gospel. I am praying for them. May the Lord change the hearts of these three brothers and also the hearts of the guests who had come.

Recently, while I was traveling with two boys from my village to a larger village, I saw another boy from a different village whom I had shared with before. I was very happy to see him and he was also very excited to meet me. We did not talk much in the market. Then I took the two boys from my village and that boy towards a different village and we sat together. I asked the boy about how his life was going. He told about his life. He was facing many problems in his life. Then I asked him, “Did I tell you about the Lord before?”

He said “Yes, I remember. but I don’t have time for all these things.” Then I shared God’s Word with him again and encouraged him with the Gospel of the Lord and talked to him.

I said, “If you believe in Jesus Christ completely, then your life will change. Whatever problem is in your life, will be solved.” There were also boys of my village with me, who are believers. Then I prayed for all three and they became very excited. I am praying that the Lord speaks to their hearts so that they can know the Lord completely

Some guests stayed at my house. I took them to a nearby village area the next day. A new guest house has been built in that area, so I showed it to them. The Lord helped me share the Gospel with them. Many of them asked me about Jesus Christ. We had many conversations about Jesus Christ. I thank the Lord that He gave me the opportunity to preach the Gospel to them. I am praying for them so Lord changes their hearts so that they can know the truth.
