He is the God who Answers Prayer !
We give all glory to God as a ministry, Biglife has been able to face the many challenges and rise up against all odds and go into the most remote parts of our nation to share the message of hope to the hopeless. Our outreaches have been the most strategic in the spread of the Gospel across different villages, as a result we have seen such a phenomenal response and people coming to know Jesus and opening their homes to start new groups.
We thank God for BMS who has stood with us prayerfully and empowering us to surge forward to see the extension of God's Kingdom.
The Lord continues to open new avenues to share the Gospel which has helped transform lives, and their testimonies are bringing other people to the Savior! The use of the Jesus Film ministry to reach different villages and transforming lives both physically and spiritually has been the most effective way to reach people. As a result of this, 100s and 100s of people have also received baptism.
Inspite of very challenging times being faced by us, we have seen God answer our prayers and progress the work of the Kingdom.
We are so thankful as a family we were able to visit the Middle East – Jordan and Egypt for a family time together as well as be involved in discipling and training new church leaders in Egypt in the Disciple Making Movement.
Abigail also had the opportunity to share at a Youth Camp with young people in Jordan and encouraged them to always trust in the Lord. Gillian also was able to share at the Women's meeting and challenged the ladies to get involved in the Great Commission.
It was a great family time and we have seen God show us such great favor and met some amazing people who are involved in the Disciple Making movement.
Our team of leaders in Delhi work in two slum areas. The families in these slums are very very poor and have to beg daily on the streets for their needs. It is here that our leaders have stepped in to provide them with some basic essentials as a result of which they have been able to start home groups in these slums. These families have been so responsive to the Gospel and celebrate together every week in praise and worship in their homes.
Testimony: My name is Ahamed Ali Mondal and I come from a village in the State of West Bengal. I was living in adultery and committing a lot of bad crimes, as a result of which I had no peace in my life. One day I happened to hear a Christian brother sharing the Gospel in our village and he was quoting scriptures from the Bible which really moved my spirit. I talked with him for a long time and I ended feeling completely released from my burdens. I turned to Jesus from that day because through knowing Him I found true peace. I also took baptism after which I started to get persecuted from my community. They took away all our facilities and threw us out from the village. We were homeless for almost 2 years but by the grace of God we were able to survive and find life again. I started to share the Gospel with people and also have been able to start a new group in my home (which I do very privately). Though we still face a lot of persecution and even threats to kill me, I will not stop sharing Christ with others.
Our desire is to double the number of fellowships by the end of this year. Pray that the increasing persecution of Christians in different states of India would stop, especially in Uttar Pradesh and Chattisgarh.
Pray for our leaders to be courageous and bold in their faith in the face of rising persecution.
Pray for open doors for the Gospel to reach India's unreached people.
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.
