$30,000 Matching gift

0 Comments

One of our most dedicated donor families has given the rest of us a challenge. They are offering a matching gift of $30,000.00 to be applied to our ministry in Pakistan.
 
Having read the same articles as you over the past few years, they were moved to help our Pakistani ministry acquire a vehicle for their evangelistic efforts. So far this year, this growing team of Pastors, Timothies, and Bible Women have already started nearly ten churches and have many other villages on the verge of coming to Christ.
 
These villages are in the desert, about a twelve-hour drive from our primary church, and they have to rent a van every time they travel to preach and to reach other villages. Each weekend rental costs are over $500. (That’s over $26,000 annually.) So we decided the best plan is to raise funds to purchase a vehicle, removing the constant drain on their limited resources. Hearing about their need and wanting to provide a permanent solution, this family has stepped up to the plate and given us a challenge. Now, with the bases loaded, we need someone to knock a grand slam or a lot of walks and singles from the rest of us. The bases are loaded. Let’s not just go for the win; let’s go for the pennant.

You can donate below, or by mailing in a check and designating it towards "Pakistan Ministry".
 
Note: Any additional funds raised will go to purchase portable sound systems, PowerPack Evangelistic tools, cases of Bibles, and more desks and curricula for their eight Bible Institutes.

THANK YOU! -- A small ministry need in Honduras

0 Comments

Read Now
 
We recently let you know about a need in Honduras for Pastor Franklin, whose vehicle had been damaged on his way to his new church plant in the mountains (his 4th church plant!). You were generous enough to meet his need, and his vehicle is now repaired, so he sent a photo and a short letter;

Dear Brothers,

We greet you in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, wishing that He is blessing your lives, your families and the activities that you carry out in your daily life.
The reason for this is to thank the offering we received for the repair of the vehicle we use to transport us to the mission. Said offering was very helpful, the vehicle was left in favorable conditions to continue carrying out the work. We were able to repair each of the houses that were specified in the application.

We really did not know how we were going to repair it, but thank God, He placed his grace towards us, before you and moved your generous hearts to mercy, to be able to offer for this purpose, may the Lord be adding to them according to his grace.
Attached we send some photographs as evidence that the resource was used appropriately and for the purpose for which it was sent.​

UPDATE - MYANMAR KITCHEN AND 2ND FLOOR ORPHANAGE

0 Comments

Read Now
 
An update from our local Director;

About 80% of the kitchen cabinet has been set up.  I still need to buy the granites for the counter tops and the company will do all the cutting, streaming, and attaching in the kitchen tables and fixing of the sink as well as attaching the plate baskets.  Also, the island bar is still being made as well.  (Pictures attached.)
 
About 85% of the iron stairway going to the roof top has been finished.  Only the hand rail needs to be attached. (Picture attached).
 
About 70% of the boys' dorm repair has been finished.  We still need to fix the lights, plugs, main door, bath room and toilet doors, put up windows, put tiles in the bath room, paper sand and paint the building.  (Pictures attached).
 
We still need to buy 8mm rods and 1 inch flat iron to make iron bars for the wall of upstairs which will be an open air wall.
 
We also need to renovate and fix the front porch of the main building of the orphanage.  We need to replace a few aluminum roof sheets and the ceiling because some of the parts were burned in the fire.  The boys also need beds so we need to build them new beds.
 
After all these repairing finished, we also need to repair the front gate. The fire men destroyed the iron gate at the night of fire because the gate was locked.
 
Thank you so much for your support and prayers!

Syria/Turkey Earthquake Update – Day two

0 Comments

Read Now
 
Two of our pastors’ families for whom I asked your prayers yesterday have evidently perished. The building they lived in totally collapsed. One, a great leader, whom we thought would take over the ministry there, perished with his wife. His daughter fled to Europe several years back after continued persecution, including multiple episodes of rape, beatings, and being shot. She will not see her mom or dad here again. Her brother, a young man, was away that night, so his life was spared.

The day before the quake, we discussed his needs. He has been so severely and so often persecuted that he cannot stand to preach for more than fifteen minutes at a time. He told us that he wanted to go on to Heaven and didn’t know how much more suffering he could endure. Twelve hours later, he and his wife were walking on golden streets.

The other was a family whom I had never met. They came to Christ and have grown in their faith after my visit there. He was pastoring several house churches as well. Unfortunately, he, his wife, and their two children were crushed during the quake.

I am slowly writing a compilation of persecution stories containing chapters on these men and their families.

As aftershocks of 4.0 continue, more buildings fall due to their weakened conditions resulting from shelling in their eleven-year civil war.

In addition to the refugees we were already caring for, we have an additional 285 people who have lost their dwellings.

God is so good.

We asked you to give to our Christian refugees a week ago ($16,000), and you immediately gave $35,000 more than we asked for. I wondered why our Lord led you to do so. Now I know. He provided through you for a need that He knew we would soon have. Those extra funds are already on their way. How much worse would the story be if we were only starting to raise funds now?
​
We will let you know more as we receive more data. But please understand that it is time for us to begin earnestly raising funds for their relief. They have only the clothes they were wearing, primarily night clothes. They are cold, the temperatures during the day hover just above freezing – and it is raining – and the water freezes at night. They have no diesel to heat with, no propane, fuel, or electricity. Our people are suffering.

Syrian Earthquake Damage

The question I expect most frequently at this time is, do we have preachers and church members in the area of the earthquake? My answer is Yes, many.
 
While we are working on getting reports and updates, let me tell you what I know at this moment. By seven this morning, we had ascertained that many of our families are now homeless. This includes families that we relocated and for whom you have so generously given funding for food, clothing, heating oil, etc. (If you see news reports, you will see there is deep snow on the ground. It is cold there.)
 
Building buildings are still collapsing in our base city, about one hundred miles from the epicenter. The government has forbidden entry into the streets that are among the worst damaged. Unfortunately, two of our primary leaders live in one of the pancaked buildings. We have not yet heard from them or their families. And worse, we cannot get in to search for them.
 
Please pray fervently for these two leaders, their families, and all our other families in the area. Pray for their safety and their ability to witness to those who are now in such great danger.
 
You know that as we learn more, we will inform you and ask for your help to care for our Family there and those who do not yet know our Saviour, whom they call, The Lord of the Cross. If you want to get a head start with a donation, you can give online here, or mail in a check and designate it to "Syrian Earthquake Damage".

Relief for 300 Families

0 Comments

Happy New Year – at least it is for you and me. I have already received a call from the Middle East with tremendous news of conversions, and tragic reports of suffering and starvation, not only among the masses but also among our people -- our Christian family. The many years of butchering and immediate executions now seem merciful compared to the nonstop torture of having no food, safe water, heat, or blankets. So dire is the situation that two of our young men have already voluntarily sold a kidney to get funds to feed their family and our other believers. Of course, we try to prevent this activity, but they see their mom and dad (if they are still alive) suffering, as well as their little sister and little brother. So what else can they do? If they are young, under the age of fourteen, they can sell one of their kidneys for $17,000. If they are over twenty, they receive $14,000, and the price varies for those between the ages of fourteen and twenty. Imagine your teenage son or daughter having life-changing surgery to feed your church family and provide heating oil for the freezing weather. Logically, you will wonder why the need is so great that such sacrifices are required.
 
Here's one example. In their land, diesel is now $48 per liter, which is $182.00 per gallon, that is the selling price at government stations, but fuel for transportation, heating, etc., is hard to find as most stations are closed; thus, those who can; buy diesel on the black mark for $77 per liter, which is $291 per gallon. We know how "supply chain" interruptions can cause prices to soar, but what we experienced is nothing compared to their situation. Thus, they do what they must, which is why young people sell their kidneys for the value of 52-64 gallons of diesel—two tanks of fuel. Still, with that cash in hand, they can provide food and heating oil, water, and medicine for a few families for a month.
 
We still have three hundred families suffering in this one location. So let me break down the cost for you.
 
For each family of nine to ten people, we need $3.55 per day for one meal each. So for a month, the need for a family is $106.50, and for the anticipated three months, the need is $319.50.
 
It sounds like a lot, but it breaks down to a meager 35¢ per person per day. Do you suppose there is anyone in an American church who cannot afford 35¢ to feed a brother in Christ for one day?
 
If you extrapolate the numbers above, multiplying them by 300 families (which is about 3000 people), the amounts are:
  • $3.55 per family per day multiplied by 300 families is $1,065 per day
  • Multiplied by 30 days in a month is $31,950 per month
  • Multiplied by three months is $95,850 for three months.
 
Daunting, isn't it? So, let's not concern ourselves with the accumulative need; instead, let's build this house one brick at a time.
 
I want you also to know that it is not just our people who suffer. It is also unbelievers with whom they can share their aid and faith in a meaningful way. We have a command from Christ that speaks to our "opportunities" to help or to serve. An "opportunity" implies a need of which you have both the knowledge of and the ability to alleviate to some degree. So, I leave you with this verse:
 
Galatians 6:10: As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
 
This may be your first opportunity in 2023 to be used by our Lord in an extraordinary way. I pray you will. You can give on this page, or mail in a check and designate it to "300 families"
