Report by HC Stephen in Churachandpur, India.
It has been quite a while since my last update. The past few weeks have been very hectic. The Lord gave a great opportunity to travel, preached and ministered to the churches.
Since January I have preached in three conferences and one youth camp. I am now preaching in a revival meeting that would go up to Sunday night. I still have two more conference line up in March. In each of these conferences, I preached six to seven times.
In spite of all the travelling, long driving and the preaching, I am still in good shape. The Lord touches many souls through our humble ministry.
I have hundred reasons to be thankful to the Lord. You may rejoice with me and my family for the great things HE has done and is still doing for us. In one of trip in the hill, our jeep was hit by a full loaded truck. PTL! We are all safe. There was only a little damage on the side of our jeep. In one of our trip near India and Myanmar border we passed through the camps of the government soldiers, the camps of the militants. We have to take a truck that was overloaded and passed through a jungle mud road. The road was just as big as the size of the truck. Any mistake on the part of the driver mean we have to roll down on the slope on the hill. At one curve point, the driver almost lost control of the vehicle. All these event reminds me of the great Apostle Paul‘s adventure for the cause of Christ.
The Lord immensely blesses our humble effort. Last year, I baptized seventy young people in our church. Our church planters plant three more new churches. All the kids at our five orphanage centres and foster care centre sailed smoothly. They all enjoyed good health. Last month, one of the boys broke his thigh bone when the tractor slides in a slope hill. He is recovering in the hospital and will be home soon.
Please pray for one of the widows who is at the orphanage. She is over eighty and getting weaker each month.
Our bible college and the Christian day school resume classes after having one month winter break. We are building classrooms both for the bible college and the school. Please pray that the Lord will provide us funds to complete the buildings works.
We are also thankful that the Lord provides us funds to kick off a gospel printing ministry and to dig another well for the orphans through Gospel Literature Service. Praise the Lord for all the friends who pray and partners with us.
Serving and striving until the nets are full,
Pastor Stephen & family.
