Asian Mission Forum: We have received invitation from Asian Mission Forum –Cambodia. Myself, my son Timothy and other two young men from our place were able to participate at AMF-2024 which was held from July 26th. to 30th . The theme of the conference was” Build the Lord’s kingdom”. There were different speakers who were able to present different topics. The time was given to the participants to speak a few interesting things pertaining to their field experience. I was to able to use the opportunity to speak for few minutes. We have enjoyed wonderful fellowship and preaching. By the grace of God we had safe journey.
ZOOM classes: On every Wednesday and Thursday we have zoom classes. The word of God is spreading to the people in distant places.
Leadership classes: There are several preachers who work in the rural areas, some of them did not get opportunity to attend Bible schools, but they have a great zeal. We often conduct leadership classes and teach them different subjects which help them in their church planting ministry. In the month of July 12th we conducted a leadership class. In the morning session and afternoon session we were able to teach The life of Christ, The work of the gospel preacher, and basic points about homiletics. We invited two guest teachers from other towns to assist for the July leadership classes.
Bible distributions for the visually challenged :
There were ten blind people who showed interest to receive Bibles. They have good friends who are interested to read Bibles voluntarily for them.
First medical boxes for the widows:
My daughter has completed her diploma in pharmacy and was interested in preparing first aid medical boxes to the poor widows in our local church. In the month of July 10 widows received first aid boxes. We pray for the donors who were able to assist for this benevolence
A.G. Garden workship: In the month of July we conducted AG garden workshop on 15th July-2024 by the partnership of Healing Hands International.
Future plans:- There are several students willing to study the Bible but they are not able to learn the Bible in depth because of their secular studies, jobs and other businesses. We are seriously thinking to start distance education facility for the students who are not able to attend for the regular residential program. We would like to submit the more details to our director for the permission in near future. We request your prayers for this plan.
