We recently received updates this update from one of our missionaries named Santeo. The Lord is greatly blessing his work. Following is his ministry update:
By God’s grace we met four new villages in last three months. These villages have no church and totally non belivers staying here. Gospel was preached by street preaching and visting each and every house in the villages. We prayed three weeks continoualy for this work. Fasting prayer was conducted in every Friday also. Both brothers and sisters in the church went for the gospel work. Brothers used their two wheelers and sister were transported by a localy hired autorickshaw. God used totally 17 belivers in preaching gospel in these villages. Only in one village we faced obstacles by local religious leaders, but otherwise people in all other villages eagerly received the gospel. We prayed for so many families and for sick persons and God delivered so many people. Also follow up work was done in three other villages In our previous visits we had prayed for so many sick and for persons affected by evil spirit. So many were delivered and gave testimonies this time. In last three months totally eight persons accepted Jesus Christ and took water Baptism by village gospel work and personal gospel work. Glory to God.
I thank our Lord who helped us with all blessings till now. Meanwhile me and my family are grateful to you for the loving support in Christ. I thank you for your support to us with which you do by divine love and it is very useful to me and our ministry. By the grace of God me and my family were doing well in previous months. My wife is very supportive in gospel work. She is very useful in edifying new comers among ladies. By conducting special prayer meeting and family fellowship meeting she is encouraging church ladies. My second son Daniel who is studying seventh standard is very useful in helping me in church activities and also he is sharing gospel with his classmates. My elder daughter Emi studying eight standard is very active and she brought a new family to the church who is her classmate. Last month she suffered with ear pain due to cold and she was down. But by His grace and according to the scripture I peter 2 : 24 God healed her. Also one of my aunty accepted Lord Jesus Christ and she took water baptism last month along with others.
God of glory lead us wonderfully in the last three months. We thank Lord for the blessings in the ministry. God gave us grace to meet new souls, preach gospel in new villages and conduct new training programs in last three months. I also thank Lord who met all the needs for this meetings and gospel work. In the month of November we conducted a special prayer seminar and family fellowship meeting for ladies. Counseling was given for better family relationships and prayer life. My wife conducted prayer and God used me in counseling. We could see the edification in between church families by this meeting. In the month of December we met new houses and new villages by using Christmas carol rounds. By using children program and carols gospel was preached in many new villages. On Christmas day special children program and cultural program was conducted in our church. We invited almost 300 new persons in various villages and offered them a good meal and preached gospel on Christmas day. Also God helped us to give new dresses to needy people. On December 12, I attended a soul winning camp in a town which was very useful to me. I learnt some new things in soul winning for this new ages. A church believer and his wife who is believer for last three years, had now committed to ministry. They started a new house prayer fellowship in their village. In Sunday evenings they conduct children program also. Three new families attend their house prayer meeting. Glory to God. Also a believer named Arun who is coming to the church for last five years had commited to gospel ministry with his family. They are very useful in gospel ministry and also in church maintenance works. Kindly remember these families in your prayer.
