Greetings! I thank the Lord for keeping me safe and using me for His service. I also want to thank you for your prayers and support. I have been doing well and growing in the Lord. I have been teaching from the book of James in my church. I am enjoying learning the practical lessons from this book.
Although preaching the Gospel publicly in my area is not allowed, the Lord gives me opportunities to share the Gospel to Hindu friends. One day, I left my house to go somewhere. Near our house, there is a bridge. Two men who I knew were sitting on the bridge. I stopped there and began to talk with them, and by God’s grace I was able to share the Gospel with them. I invited them to our church. They would like to come, but they are afraid of their community. I have been meeting with them and continue to share the Word with them. Please pray that the Lord will help them overcome their fear and surrender their lives to Him.
I have begun Sunday Services this year for the first time. Ten to fifteen people attend the services. All of them are from non-Christian families. Most of those who attend are women. I talk with their husbands, but they make excuses that they have to go work. Please pray that whole families will come for services. There was a woman in our area who was very ill. She was taken to many witch doctors, but she was not cured. One day, her family members shared with me about her problem, and they told me that they had taken her to many witch doctors, but she was still ill. I shared the Gospel with them and prayed for the woman. I asked them to bring her to church. They began coming to church, and the Lord heard our prayers. The woman started getting better and was fully healed. But after she was completely healed, the whole family stopped coming to church. I have been visiting the family and trying to persuade them to keep coming to church. Please pray for this family.
Prayer Requests
- Please pray for me, that I will be able to present the Gospel to the Hindus in such a way that they can understand it.
- Pray for the believers of our church, that they will be strong in their faith.
- Pray that more and more people will be saved and added to the church.
Thank you once again for your prayers and support!
In Him,
