Dear Partners and Friends,
The Gospel message is free, but it costs to communicate it. Evangelists and missionaries need food, clothing, transportation, and outreach materials. And in addition to physical needs, they also need training. Romans 10:9 says “if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” But someone has to be trained to share the message. And then they must be provided with funding so they can be sent to those who need to hear.
We find there are many people who come to faith in India, who want to be trained to be effective in sharing their faith. The need is great, but we are limited in our ability to train these eager, new believers. The potential harvest is great, but the laborers are few, not because they aren’t willing, but because they haven’t been trained.
Many of the people who come to faith in Christ through our ministry come from a Hindu background. So they know literally nothing about the Bible, or how to make biblical decisions regarding lifestyle choices, family relationships, and many other things we in America take for granted. When friends and relatives ask questions, they have no framework in which to develop an answer. So they often just stay quiet.
You can help equip and empower them to speak up. They have real answers to real problems in their society, but unless we train them and help them articulate these answers, there will be no transformation. Will you stand with us and help us train them? Pray, and ask the Lord what He would have you do to get involved. And then take action, whether it’s in prayer or financial help. When you do, please drop us a line and tell us how you are getting involved.
Thank you for continuing to pray for all of us here. And thank you to those who support us sacrificially every month. Please tell all your Christian friends about our new website and encourage them to join us as partners. Invite them to visit us at https://revivalnow.excitingword.org and they can read some of the same newsletter stories that you enjoy! (the names have been changed to protect our pastors and missionaries)
Blessings in the Wonderful Name of Jesus,
Thomas
