The following is a report from one of ANM’s ministry partners in India:
By God’s grace, the ministry is going well as we continue to add new souls and new mission fields. God is so faithful to me in keeping us under His mighty arms during the past several years. Even though there were so many painful situations and hindrances in the ministry, as we see in the book of Acts, His grace was sufficient. God has helped me to firmly believe in these words, and He has not only helped me to face all the problems by His spirit, but He has given me victory above them as well.
We have a lot of needs in the ministry. The most crucial need is that, many times, we have failed to support our missionaries who are doing a sacrificial ministry in the mission fields. They often are sacrificing even their own health. But God has helped me to help them. Won’t you please join me in praying for regular support for these missionaries?
Our missionary training center is functioning well, and about 20 students are getting ready to work in His vineyard.
All the children in our children’s home at Lothabari (for orphan children) and in Peniel Children’s Home at Bagdogra (for the children of missionaries) are doing fine. God is helping us give them a good education and proper care.
It has long been our prayer to have some solar water heaters for the use of these children. God has since helped us install two solar water heaters in the children’s home. Still, we are in prayer for more water heaters. This will help the children in their studies and also in case of power outages.
In the last year, God has also helped us to construct a few more village church halls and houses for the missionaries. We were also able to distribute about 6,000 Bibles and 50,000 New Testaments.
It is also my pleasure to say that 16 more new fellowships were added to the ministry.
I and my wife Alice are doing well, and God has given us good health. My daughter Mercy, her husband Jibu, and their little one Angelin are doing fine and rejoicing in God. My son Moncy will complete his M.Div. by the end of this year and is getting ready to come back to India for the village ministry. Even though his higher education was in the U.S., he didn’t forget his vision which God had given him. He developed his vision in a good way and has the desire to spend his life for the ministry among the poor village people.
I have a few prayer requests for your valuable prayers:
1. Motor bike for senior missionaries
2. Two vehicles for the team ministry
3. A good sound system for the gospel meetings
4. Two LCD projectors – one for using in the auditorium during different meetings and the other for the outreach ministry to show the Jesus film
5. Regular support for those children who are not receiving any, and missionary support for some full-time missionaries who are also not receiving regular support.
Thank you so much for joining your prayers with ANM and with our brothers and sisters overseas. May Christ’s heart for the nations be made manifest throughout our lives.
