Thank you all for your prayers and support! I thank God that He has given me another opportunity to share with you about what He is doing. I especially would like to share with you about my life. God’s strength and His Spirit are always with me, and He gives me opportunities to share the love of God at different places. Recently, God has used me in many different places, and many people heard the Gospel of God. I am thankful that God used me to share the Gospel. Just Like Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 9:16, that he had a vision to share the Gospel, God is teaching me that I need to be thankful for the vision He has given me. God has given me this stewardship, and I need to take care of it. Pray for me, that I will fulfill the vision God has given me and that God will be glorified through my life. 

We Were Ordained as Calvary Chapel Pastors

God has been doing a wonderful work at my church and is bringing brand new people to my church. This is because people truly need a Savior, and they are trying to find Him. It is the Word of God that brings them to the right way.

Last month, God gave me an opportunity to take some of the believers from my church to our Calvary Chapel conference. It was a blessed time for all of us. We do not get very many opportunities to go to this kind of conference. The believers especially need conferences like this since they live in such a worldly, pagan environment. Through the conferences, they are really encouraged when they learn more about the Word and meet other believers. After the conference when I received their feedback, I was encouraged to find that God is continuously teaching them.

I thank God because He gave me an opportunity to share the Word of God at this conference, and this was my first time. It was a new experience for me. I thank the Calvary Chapel team who was among us last week. The time I spent with them was an especially blessed time. Whenever the CC pastors are with us, I get to learn a lot about ministry and the field. During these last 5-6 years, I have been serving the Lord and I thank you all that you have found me faithful. I was ordained as a Calvary Chapel pastor two weeks ago.

I had been praying for a long time about whether or not to bring the team to my place or not, because these days anti-Christian organizations have become very active. We are not able to do any religious activity openly. I was very concerned about this. One time, while I was thinking that I should not bring them, I remembered the verse that says the One who is with me is greater than the one who is in this world–so then who can be against us? So, I left everything up to God. I was wondering where I should hold the church service when the team came, because everyone would not fit in my home. God worked wonderfully and opened the heart of a brother who opened his home for us to have a church fellowship! God is our provider. In spite of many problems, God worked wonderfully, and many people were blessed by the pastors and the team who came. Through this, I know that everything is in God’s control and God works everything together for His glory, just like it says in Jeremiah 10:10, “the LORD is the true God; he is the living God, the eternal King. When He is angry, the earth trembles; the nations cannot endure His wrath.” Thank you everyone. Through your prayers all of these things were possible. In the same way, continue to pray for us that we can preach the Word boldly and be His witnesses to the world.

Prayer Requests:

  • Pray for some people at our church who want to be baptized. Pray that God will prepare their hearts and that at the right time we can baptize them.
  • Pray that I can lead these believers in the right way, and strengthen them in the Word of God.
  • Pray for our church growth and especially for the families of the believers, that they will also believe and come to God.

God bless you,
