Latest news from Barnabas

I am overjoyed to share that on 24^th August, 8 precious souls publicly declared their faith in Jesus Christ through baptism. Our Mission Workers Noyon and Swapna prepared them. Glory to God for this wonderful fruit of the Gospel. Our mission continue to focus on reaching unreached groups with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Following the seed during our Christmas outreach program, we are now seeing the fruit of God’s work. Many who heard the Gospel earlier have continued to seek the truth, and through prayers, teaching, and discipleship, 8 people boldly confessed Christ and were baptized on 24^th August. It was a blessed service, fillled with joy, worship, and tears of thanksgiving.

These baptisms are a powerful testimony to the power of an extraordinary God working through ordinary disciples. The local believers and community leaders joined together to witmess this moment. Despite challenges, opposition, and difficulties, God’s Spirit is moving. People from Muslim, Hindu, and ethnic backgrounds are opening their hearts to Christ. Some families are now inviting us to share the Gospel further in their homes. Truly, as the Bible says, “The harvest is plentiful” (Matthew 9:37).

This baptism celebration is not just a milestone but also a doorway into deeper discipleship and Church planting in these areas. We continue to pray that those who were baptised would remain steadfast in their faith and become witnesses to their families and neighbours.

I am truly enjoying the mission work that God has entrusted to me. Every time I go to the villages, share the gospel, encouraging the mission workers and see the the people open their hearts to ‘Christ. I feel deeply blessed. The recent baptism have encouraged me greatly, reminding me that God’s Word never returns empty. Even in the midset of difficulties and challenges, I experience the joy of serving His vineyard. I am also strengthened and uplifted by knowing that your faithfully praying for me, mission workers and the mission here in Bangladesh. Your partnership is a great encouragement and blessing for my life and ministry. By your prayer support, I see doors opening, hearts softening, and lives changing, I believe this is God’s time for Bangaldesh, and together, through your prayer support and my humble service, the Kingdom of God is being extended. Praise be to His name.

·       Praising God for the 8 new believers baptized on 24 August, pray for their spiritual growth and protection.

·       Pray for the continued outreach in other cities, towns and villages and thatGod will open the hearts of people to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I am deeply grateful for your prayers and partnership in God’s mission. Together, we are seeing lives transformed by the Gospel in Bangladesh. All glory to our Lord Jesus Christ, who is building His Church.
