All Things Through Christ

The year 2021 started with feelings of fear and helplessness.  By March, the fear of death was playing in the minds of the people.  The Corona virus numbers continued going up and hospitals and health centers became full.  The government of India was doing everything they could to help, and yet helplessness continued to grow. 

However, the people of God trusted in the Lord and continued in prayer and sharing the love and affection of God through good works.  God opened new opportunities for service, using small opportunities to glorify His name and reveal His glory among the people.  Thousands of lives were touched, healed and delivered by the Lord’s grace and favor.  2021 became a harvesting year!  Our brothers and sisters in the mission field and our outreach teams accomplished a lot by the grace of God this past year.

Here are some of those accomplishments:

  • Reached over 980 unreached villages.
  • Reached more than 62,000 unreached homes with the Gospel.
  • Started 768 new prayer groups, which meet weekly with people from all religious backgrounds
  • More than 16,300 people received Jesus as their personal savior and publicly confessed Him as Lord.
  • 6,382 people were baptized in different states.
  • Fully trained over 382 men and women in our 40-day training centers.
  • 421 more people are currently going through the training in the training centers.
  • 8 Sewing Centers trained 178 poor women and widows to stitch cloths and make dresses in order to sell as a way to support their families.
  • We have also distributed 29 sewing machines to poor women and widows.
  • We were able to give out 8,700 Bibles in seven Indian languages to the people.
  • Over 69,000 New Testaments were distributed in different languages.
  • Over 300,000 Gospels of John were distributed to people who can read and write.
  • 7 motor bikes were given to our missionaries, 
  • 16 bicycles given to our house church leaders. 
  • 11 church buildings were built and dedicated to the glory of God.
  • 14 church buildings are under construction right now.
  • Several hundred healings and divine deliverances, as reported by House Church Leaders and Missionaries, this past year.
  • 21 of our Missionaries and House Church Leaders faced physical persecution during 2021 from Hindu radicals, some of them requiring hospitalization.
  • Many Churches were vandalized, and men, women, and children were beaten up.
  • 12 were arrested by the police while sharing the gospel or conducting a prayer meeting in the village.
  • 3 of our temporary house church buildings were burned down or pulled down in the village by Hindu radicals.
  • 11 of our new believer’s families were forced out of their village for believing in Jesus.

As we look back at 2021, we see the faithfulness of God.  He has sustained us, kept us safe, led, guided, and faithfully provided for us.  He has used your prayers and support, and joined you with us in these marvelous accomplishments of God through this ministry.

February 2022 Partner Letter

Dear Partner,

It’s hard to believe that it’s already 2022. January is done, and February is almost over. Winter is almost finished, Spring is just around the corner, and God is moving by His Spirit all around the earth. In the midst of continued struggles and challenges in the areas of our health, our economy, and our freedom, revival is breaking out in New York, in California, in Canada, and in India. As it says in Romans, “where sin abounded, grace abounded much more.” (Romans 5:20)

In areas where wickedness has flourished, and governments have become repressive, the Holy Spirit is setting captives free in praise and worship to Him. I believe that God has already begun to send a new great awakening on the earth. This month’s newsletter is just a small glimpse of what God is doing in India, and we hear reports from around the earth. People have been pushed to the limit and they are open to the Gospel more than ever before. Take the opportunity to reach out to your family, friends, neighbors, and others in your local community. Be willing to take a risk and share the love of God with those around you, and watch God show up and bring salvation, healing, and deliverance. We are no longer waiting for God to move – He is waiting for us.

If you have cut back on travel plans because of higher gas prices, reach out to people in your local area. Instead of driving across town, get on the phone and call people. If eating out is not in your budget, invite friends in for coffee or a meal. Instead of getting discouraged, let’s get creative in how we approach the current challenges. And don’t forget to call out to the Lord for help. And drop us a note so we can pray with you, believing for God’s answer.

As you read the 2021 statistics on the ministry, I want to remind you that these aren’t just numbers, they are real people impacted by your faithfulness in partnering with us. I can’t say it enough – I am so very grateful that you are walking beside us in God’s work in India.

“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13)

Blessings in the Wonderful Name of Jesus,

Thomas
