He was born and brought up in a Hindu family. His father was demon possessed. Because of that, many times he used to go unconscious. The family members took him to the temple and to many sorceresses, but he did not get any relief.\nOne day, a Hindu man came to his home and told his family, “Some of my relatives went to a church for prayer and they are okay now.” The man suggested that they should also try going.\nSo listening to Hindu man’s words, they took their demon-possessed father and went to a church. They met the pastor and the pastor shared the Gospel of Jesus with them and prayed. By God’s grace his father was delivered completely! He was set a free from the evil bondage after having the problem for 4-years. Through this, the whole family accepted the Lord as their personal Savior. Since then they are believers. Now brother SD* has committed his life to God’s ministry.\nIn the month of July we started our new semester of CBI. By God’s grace, all the classes are going very well. This semester I am teaching the book of Exodus. Every week we take our students to do practical ministry where they are able to lead and share from Bible.\nMy daughter’s new school year has started. This year she is in 11th grade.\nPrayer Requests:\nKindly pray for area that is affected by the flood. May God help them recover all that they have lost.

Praise be to His name!\nIn 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.\nIn 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.\nPrayer 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.

I have a father, brother and sister. I did not get my mother’s love, because after I was born my mother ran away with another man.\nMy step mom did not like me, so I was brought up in my grandparent’s home. They raised me according to the Hindu faith. When I was very young, my grandmother died. After that, I was totally hopeless and helpless because there was no one to love me except my grandfather. It was a very hard time for us, so my grandfather sent me to a government boarding school to study. During my summer vacations, I worked very hard to pay for my school uniform and fees.\nA Second Chance I had a strong faith in the gods and goddesses of my forefathers. I used to follow all kinds of rituals. Many times I fasted(without food) during Hindu festivals. Still, I was struggling day-by-day and facing many challenges in my life. Because of this, there was no peace in my heart. I decided to and tried to commit suicide three times. I totally failed.\nIn order to amuse myself and to get my mind off my problems, I started going to the theater to watch Hindi movies. One day, when I was standing in line to get my ticket, I saw two of my seniors coming towards the theater. I asked them to join me, but they refused saying, “We quit watching movies.” They then gave me a Gospel tract. I immediately started reading it. However, I could not understand many things in it completely. So the two men explained to me about Jesus Christ. When I heard them, I felt peace in my heart.\nAfter that, they invited me to their Bible training center. The next day, August 13th 1996, I went. Some of the staff shared the Gospel of Jesus with me and gave so many examples. That same day I confessed my sins and accepted Jesus as my personal Savior! In order to know more about Jesus, I joined the Bible training center. Two months later, during my training period, I was baptized.\nAfter that, I started praying for my family members. It was a big challenge for me to tell them about Jesus. But God made a way to share the Gospel. Now all of them are Christians!\nA New Beginning God gave me a burden for perishing souls. After completing my Bible training, I went to the mission field to plant churches. By God’s grace, I planted three churches in different areas. After six years of ministry, my leaders decided to send me to the South for further education. After completing my degree, I served the Lord in various responsibilities for twenty years. Meanwhile, I got married and was blessed with a beautiful daughter. My wife and I have been serving the Lord together ever since.\nGod opened the door to serve the Lord with SGWM.

Our Pastors School students were a great help to us in unpacking and arranging our household things. My wife, became ill with a cough as a result of the dust, but, praise the Lord, she is fine now! Thank you so much for your financial support that helped my transportation go smoothly.\nOur daughter also was admitted to a good school. She is enjoying the school. She has made many friends. We thought that she would take time to get adjusted, but she is doing fine.\nIn our family devotions, we are reading the book of Proverbs. Every day, we are challenged by the Word to walk closely with God. I was privileged to visit Pastor 8\u0026rsquo;s church, teach the Word, and also to baptize three of his church believers. We visited one of the Roman Catholic families in our colony, and God opened their hearts for God\u0026rsquo;s Word. This family wants to learn more from the Bible.\nGod is so faithful to us and is fulfilling our needs every day. Please pray for our family and ministry, that we will be the channel to spread the Good News of Jesus to many souls.\nPlease pray for the believers who have witnessed for Jesus Christ by being baptized. Please pray that they will be strengthened in their faith.\nPlease also pray for the Catholic family, that God will increase their faith.\nKindly pray for our country\u0026rsquo;s political situation, as elections have been going on. The results of the election will be declared soon. Please pray that God will give us a good leader.\nThank you for your support!\nIn Him,\nPastor 3* and Family\n* Names have been changed or omitted for security reasons.\n","permalink":"https://archive.sgwm.com/pastor3/pastor3/2019/05/24/moving-for-ministry/","summary":"\u003cfigure\u003e\n    \u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" src=\"/psrssouthasia/wp-content/uploads/sites/97/2019/05/pahal-May-2-300x225.jpeg\"/\u003e \n\u003c/figure\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGreetings to you all in the matchless name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
