Greetings to you all in the matchless name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
God has been so good to us during the past month. Under His mighty wings, He has protected us. We also experienced God’s love in our lives through His provision for all of our needs. We give all glory and honor to Him alone. Thank you very much, dear sponsors, for your contribution for the expansion of God’s kingdom in the unsaved world. We assure you of our prayers for you and your families. It is our prayer that God will keep you safe and in good health, and we pray that you will have many blessings. Praise be to His name!
In the month of August, God enabled us to conduct Holy Communion at our local church. I taught the word of God from Jude 1-2 verses, and I learned a lot from it. I went to one of our CCSG churches that is about 30 km away from my town. There, I was able to help them understand Word of God. One of the believers, came to me with tearful eyes; she shared some bitter opposition that she has been facing from her relatives. She was attending Sunday worship in her village, but her brother dragged her out of the church service and beat her very badly. Because of this, she decided to go to a place farther away to worship; so, now she is coming to our CCSG church. Still, she is threatened and beaten by her brother because she has received Jesus as her personal Savior and is attending church services regularly. However, she is so strong in her faith that she has been praying for her brother that someday he will come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. I was so privileged to encourage this woman and pray for her.
In our Pastors School, classes have been taking place regularly; we appreciate all of the teachers for making the extra effort to train young men and women here. We are privileged to translate some of the Skye classes into our national language. Apart from the main subjects, we have also been teaching the students basic English. Our library is also a great asset for our students. One of our students is new to the Christian faith. We have counseled and motivated him personally to know more about Jesus Christ. Recently, we have sent him under his local pastor to get more familiar with the Bible and learn more about Jesus; after a year, he plans to continue his study in our Pastors School.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for the Pastors School to run smoothly here in South Asia. Presently, we have 24 students.
- Please pray for the growth of our CCSG church in town.
- Kindly pray for us to have our own building for the Pastors School, so that we will have enough space to accommodate more students.
- Please uphold the believer who is persecuted by her brother and the student who is a new believer, that God will strengthen them in their faith.
- As a family, we are serving the Lord here with CCSG. Please pray that God will enable us to glorify His name through our words and deeds.
Thank you very much for your prayers and support!
In Him,
Pastor 3*
