Happy New Year! Praise the Lord for His faithfulness! He has kept us safe, and through His grace, He enabled us to do His work in 2019. He has added another year for us to do the work of the Gospel. Thank you all for partnering in this work of the Gospel in 2019 through your prayers and financial support! I trust and pray that you will continue to partner with me this year as well. Thank you!
In November 2019, I was ordained along with some other co-workers for the work of the Gospel in our country by SGWM. I praise the Lord that He has given me this responsibility to train the workers of the Gospel and also to help my brothers who are in the field preaching the Gospel. Please continue to uphold these brothers in your prayers, as it is becoming more and more difficult to preach the Gospel due to the political situation in our country. The rate of persecution of Christians here is increasing.
We had a Christmas program in December. During this time, I was able to spend more time with the youth in our church–for weeks, we met every day to practice and prepare for the Christmas program. I had a wonderful time with them, talking and encouraging them from the Word of God. The youth invited their non-Christian friends to come to the program. We performed dances with Christian songs, and we did skits. After the skit, I also shared the Gospel message, which we had also shown through skits. Please pray for the non-Christian youth who came; pray that the Holy Spirit will work in their hearts and that they will surrender their lives to Jesus.
I am also an assistant pastor at my church, so God has been giving me opportunities to preach on Sundays. I also get to to share the Word during our church conferences.
Right now, our Pastors School students are back home for the semester break. God is using them during this time–they are sharing the Word at their churches and among their friends. The students call me often to ask me to explain certain Bible passages. This encourages me that the students are studying the Bible and that God is using them in their home areas.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for me, that I will continue to grow in the wisdom and the knowledge of the Word.
- Please pray that God would use me among all these young people I am involved with.
- Please pray that the coming semester of the Pastors School will go well, and pray for God’s protection over us.
- Please pray that God will continue to work in the hearts of my church youth, that they will continue to grow in the Lord and get closer to Him.
God bless you,
Pastor 9
