GOD IS SO GOOD !

It has been an amazing journey to witness the faithfulness of the Lord, opening doors to many new areas to share the Gospel which has helped mobilize our ministry and to see people being touched by the power of the Lord which has transformed lives, and their testimonies are bringing other people to the Saviour!

Inspite of very challenging times being faced by us, we have seen God move amazingly to enhance the work of the Kingdom.

In Odisha : Work in the leprosy colony has expanded in two districts, where home groups have started as a result of our leaders making great efforts to share the gospel and provide them with the basic essentials. This has blessed these leprosy families and many have received Jesus.

Muslims are coming to faith in Christ and the leaders in Bengal continue to make great efforts in looking for new areas to share the Gospel and praise God for open doors in these muslim villages.

Gillian has started two new groups of training and discipling women and many are encouraged to share their faith and actively get involved in the Disciple Making Movement. Every week there are meetings with different fellowships to train and equip them to become disciple makers.

 

Benjamin is currently travelling and the Lord is opening up opportunities to speak to leaders about launching movements of multiplication, who are like minded disciple makers.

Inspite of the prevailing persecution and attacks taking place in many states the Lord has helped us to prevail! Christians are being beaten for their faith but this does not stop the work of the Lord. North 24 Parganas leaders have started work on two islands. They are reaching out to the people of these islands through evangelism and showing of the Jesus film. As a result of which many people are getting to know the Gospel and responding through faith in Christ. This is one such family pictured here after watching the Jesus film gave their hearts to Christ.

 

Ramakant from Orissa was, an orthodox Hindu and an idolater. For the last 3 months, his daughter had been suffering from demonic attacks. Being a devout hindu he performed all the hindu rituals to cure his daughter but nothing could help her. As such he was very discouraged and distressed. Recently, our leader Bro. Babulal visited his village to show the Jesus film. He got the opportunity to watch the film and witnessed a man being healed from the demonic spirits. After the film was over, he heard the gospel for the very first time and was encouraged to hear that Jesus is the solution to all problems and whoever believes in Him will never perish. Having heard this, Ramakant requested our leader to pray for his daughter's well being. After praying for her, praise God his daughter was delivered. Ramakant requested for the Jesus film to be shown again at his home, as a result of which his entire family received Jesus. Through his life and testimony, now many people have heard the gospel. Though, he is being threatened by the village community he continues to keep his faith and is sharing his daughter's healing testimony with others

Please pray for the training of 5000 leaders by the end of this year

Pray that we can double the number of fellowships (which are disciple making environments)

Pray for God's strength to withstand persecution with faith and courage.

Pray for our leaders to reach another 500,000 people with the gospel by the end of this year.

Pray that we would connect and catalyze disciple making movements among unreached peoples groups.

We are very thankful to the BMS for your continued support and prayers which has been vital in seeing our people go forward despite all the challenges. We rejoice with you in what God is doing and we celebrate your partnership with us.
