Hello Team, November has been a challenging month for me in the process of finding out what God has for me in regards to a church plant. I taught in a church for 3 to 4 months prior to the conference. To make the long story short, I am not willing to be part of it anymore. I have a couple of families who have come alongside me to start a new work for God. So, I started a Bible study in one of the believer’s houses. We are also visiting those who are sick and trying to comfort them with God’s Word and our presence in their houses. ...

Hello Team, October was a month of refreshing! Refreshment from the Word of God, seeing my old friends, making new friends, traveling to my favorite place, having fellowship with my co-laborers and eating delicious food with all of the saints at the conference. 5 years ago, I graduated from CBI in a nearby country. It was such a happy moment for me to be part of the graduation ceremony of my students in whose lives I was able to invest my time and studies–just like my pastors and leaders did in my life! Students who graduated told me “Thank you for everything!” and “Thank you for your time.” These things that they said blessed me so much. ...

Hello, dear team, It is always nice to write to you about what is happening here with me and about the ways God is working among us, as we are growing as a spiritual family and church. We have been doing a lot of house visitations for various reasons. Some are prayer meetings of thanksgiving. Some are birthdays. Some are different gatherings! Whatever the reason is, we are meeting and giving glory to God for what He is doing in our lives. ...

Hello Team, I am happy to write to you about the many things that God has been doing in the ministry here. I am continuing to teach on Sundays from 1st Corinthians. I am about to finish chapter 2. We had a marriage celebration at the church. The bridegroom is from our church, so it was a good time to have all of us attending the marriage and spend time as a church family on that special day. ...

Hello Team, So many things are happening in ministry! I have been teaching the young girls in the church new songs, music and about how worship in the church should look. They are enjoying the new songs, and the meaning in the songs. The instruments and singing are becoming in tune with new sounds. I also explained to them that worship should not just occur at the church building, but it should be their life style! ...

Hello Team, One of the thing that I have failed to do during the last seven years is to get to know the other pastors who are doing ministry in my hometown and district. Mostly, I thought, “They do not know the Word of God properly. Most of them are not educated and did not go to a good Bible college. They love to teach prosperity teachings–some unknowingly and some knowingly.” So what happened was, I built a wall between them and me. But, as we all know, knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. ...

Hello Team, I cannot believe a month has already gone by! The most happy experience that God gave us as a family this month is a few of our friends visiting my house to check on my Mom. We had a good worship and prayer time together. My mother was so happy that they came all of the way from a different state to see her. My family and I have been refreshed by their presence. They encouraged us by saying that we all are not alone in this because hundreds of saints are praying for us.I had to take a few weeks break from the current semester because my mother had low oxygen levels once again and was suffering from severe back pain. She was admitted into the hospital once again for a couple of days. There are so many blood tests, scans, doctors fees and ambulance expenses that I had to go through once again. ...

Hello Team, In the month of March, I rejoined into the ministry. After experiencing a terrible season in my life, God gave me an opportunity to join with the Bible College here to teach and to be part of the current semester. I am teaching 1st Corinthians to the new students. It is always an awesome thing to see how the students react to the contextual verse by verse teachings. It is a great joy to get to know the students, hear their testimonies each semester, and see how God works with different hearts! ...

Hello Team, You have been hearing about how God is working in my mother’s life. It is an absolute miracle that she is alive today! For the past few days, she has been able to walk a few steps with the help of walker and oxygen. The doctors are not sure how long she will need oxygen. One doctor suggested turning off her oxygen for ten minutes every hour during the day time, which is showing me that my mom is doing a little better with her breathing. When we turn off her oxygen for ten minutes, her oxygen saturation is 58. (A normal healthy person’s saturation fluctuates between 95 to 99.) So now we know how much more she needs to get better to be lead a normal life. ...

Hello Team! It’s been a very different season here just like everywhere else. The influence of the pandemic still exists. The news channels are continuously exhorting about the third wave in our state. However, I was so happy to meet my friend, Pastor 6*. We talked about our next semester teaching schedule, last semester experiences with the students, and the blessing to hear each and every student’s testimony of what they learned and experienced during the semester. I was so excited and humbled to see videos of their practical ministry and how they are getting trained for their future ministry. Last semester, I taught from the book of 1st Corinthians. This semester I am going to teach 2nd Corinthians and Colossians. I was very happy hearing what the students learned through 1st Corinthians. They are now able to see the difference between what is happening in the churches around and what the Word of God says about how churches should be organized and what Christianity is and what religion is, and problems in the church and solutions from the Word of God. They have learned how important it is to stick to the Word of God and not fall for reputation, money or other luxuries in life. I pray that they would be faithful in what they have learned, and come to learn in future semesters, and plant more churches. ...
