Dear Partner,
Today marks not only the beginning of a new year, but it is also the start of a new decade! With your help, Exciting Word has accomplished much for the Kingdom of Heaven, and we have no plans to slow down or stop. Read some of the statistics from 2020 that give just a glimpse of what God has done!
- We reached 1100 previously unreached villages with the Gospel
- We shared the salvation message with 22,000 homes
- We planted 828 new house churches
- More than 19,500 people gave their lives to Jesus Christ and were born again
- We trained more than 312 men and women as church leaders
- We served more than 35,000 cooked meals to the homeless and those in slums
- We distributed more than 115 tons (9,200 bags) of food supplies to the poor
We could not do any of this without the generous financial support of you, our partners! We also rely on and ask for your continued prayer support. In addition to the blessings mentioned above, we have also undergone hardship and persecution.
- 17 of our missionaries were beaten by Hindu radicals
- 19 of our missionaries were arrested by the police while sharing the Gospel, or while leading a house church meeting
- 9 of our house churches buildings were either burned down or pulled down by Hindu radicals
- 29 families of new believers were forced out of their village and had to abandon their homes for believing in Jesus
- One of our missionaries gave his life on the mission field
You may be unable to share the Gospel with your neighbors because of lockdown. But you can share in the work that our dear Brothers and Sisters in India are doing, and you will also share in the reward. This month we have a beautiful story of how God is moving through two simple people! As you read their story, be encouraged! And please keep our teams in prayer.
Blessings in the Wonderful Name of Jesus,
Thomas
