We, together with our Calvary Chapel church family, celebrated Christmas this year in an open area outside of the church. Many people, including our neighbors, attended the program. We got the opportunity to share the love of God and the reason for Christmas with them. It was a joyful moment to share the Gospel to the people from our community who attended. People from all backgrounds and ethnic groups were present. Most of them heard the Gospel for the first time. This season became not just a moment of celebration, but also an opportunity to share the Gospel of Christ. We are praying that all the people who gathered may believe in Jesus Christ.

Prayer Requests:

• Please pray that those who heard the Gospel in our open event may come to our church and find Jesus.
• Pray that God strengthens us (me and my wife) with His wisdom and knowledge for the ministry of God.
• Please pray for our church building.
• Pray for the leading of God to guide the church and all of its members in a loving and godly way.
• Pray that my father and mother also may come to Christ.

Praise Report!

Our Calvary Chapel Church has made a wooden bridge over the river for our village! Now, people can go from one village to another easily. They can walk straight across!

Prayer Requests:

1). May the Lord grant me open doors for Gospel outreach during this time and may our church grow spiritually.

2). Please pray for our Calvary Chapel church building.

3). Please pray that I will grow more and more spiritually in the Lord.

Thank you!

Blessings!

Raju

Raju first heard the Gospel from his brother who had moved from their village to the capital city where his brother grew up in a children’s home. Raju accepted Christ as a youth after hearing the Gospel from his older brother. After becoming a Christian, Raju began sharing the Gospel with others in his village. He realized his need to grow and get further training in the Word of God and decided to attend the Calvary Chapel Pastors Training Center and School of Ministry. 

During his two years of studies, he returned to his home village area during the school breaks and held bible study for those living in his village. Raju graduated in 2018 and returned to his village with an even greater burden to reach people for Christ. His village is a 6 hour hike from the closest road and is higher than the clouds, but God is doing a great work through Raju. He has planted a Calvary Chapel and it is the first church in a predominately Hindu area.
