As I write this, I am thankful that God allows me to be able to serve Him. I
am thankful that God loves me despite of who I am or what I have done.
He is a wonderful God!
I just want all you to know how much
we love you and how much we a
p-
preciate your faithfulness to us and the ministry here in India. We pray for
you all often and know you all pray for us.
We have so many things going on now
a day
, it is hard to keep up with it all.
I guess the biggest news
would be that we are planting a
n
other church here
in about 3 weeks. It will be in a small village area of only about 20,000 pe
o-
ple. There is one Anglican Church there, but that is the only one between
our “mother” church and that area. Please help us pray
that God would
bless Pastor Uttam and his team as they labor there in the coming weeks.
We also shifted Grace Baptist Church (Patel Nagar) to a better
location,
which I think will help. We had a relaunch service, after handing out 10,000
flyers about the
church, last Sunday. God blessed and we saw 30 people
come in which half were first time visitors! We praise the Lord for this. So
within a matter of a few weeks we will have 3 churches going, all to the
praise and honor of His name!
Next week, I also ha
ve a meeting with an accountant who will instruct me
on the best way to register our church. Please help me pray that God would
work all this out for us before we leave for furlough in March of next year.
I want to again thank everyone who has been helpi
ng with our building
fund. We are just a bit over 40k right now. The search for land still conti
n-
ues in Chattarpur. Chattarpur is not a big city. It is about 1.6 miles in diam
e-
ter, but there are well over 60
-
70,000 people that live there. This makes
find
ing a place difficult and also very costly. There is almost no land to be
had inside this radius, which is forcing us to look a bit outside the city and
also at buil
d
ings that are for sale. Please help us pray we find a suitable place
where God’s name can
be proclaimed for 100’s of years a
f
ter we leave.
We could not be more proud of our children here in India. All three kids
are in school here, speaking the language, and loving life on the foreign field.
It’s a joy to serve along side them. They are ver
y involved in mini
s
try as
well. Elijah works the computer and sound at church, Ali Grace is a
huge help in kids club and children’s church, and Anaya just
keeps things
interesting. We c
ount it an honor to all serve to
gether as a family here in
I
n
dia.
