Please specify in the comments section Team 300

Gospel Literature Services exists to supply Biblical resources worldwide to enable developing Baptist ministries to fulfill the Great Commission. Due to the rising costs of shipping and the enormity of the task, I am issuing a challenge. It is time to finish the task. GLS Team 300 shifts into high gear and becomes GLS Formula 300. This team will consist of individuals, small groups, Sunday School classes, or local churches who commit to underwrite the shipping expenses for $30 a month.

We need 300 team members who will rise up and stand by GLS to accomplish its number-one goal—getting Regular Baptist Sunday School curriculum to national churches around the globe.

Almost every week I get requests from pastors who desperately want to build up the believers in their congregations, but who simply do not have any material to help them with the task. We have the material, but not the funds to ship it. Some congregations are willing to translate the material, and others can use it in English. Most of us in North America cannot imagine a culture where there is simply no Christian literature to assist believers on their spiritual journey. While many of us face financial challenges due to our Western lifestyle, we are blessed beyond the wildest dreams of our brothers and sisters in other lands. The graphic on this page updates the total number who have joined us and are part of the team.

I am praying that across this country God will raise up a band of believers who love Him, love His people, love the lost for whom He died, and who will step up to the challenge. Will you consider supporting such a cause? Will you be one of 300 who will use your God-given resources to meet this need? The formula looks like this:

Print Shop in Northeast India – $1,000 left. GLS purchased a printer for the New Testament Baptist Church Association of NE India. This association is led by Rev. H.C. Stephen, Association Representative. It is believed that this print shop will be self-sustaining once they get through the first project. This project represents the start-up costs to make this shop operable and complete the first book project.

Print Shop in Northwest India - $20,000 Rev. Henry Johns, an Indian missionary with Baptist Mid-Missions, has purchased a building to set up a print shop to print in Hindi. Plans are for this ministry to be self sustaining once the first project is completed. Very little fundamental material is available to the Hindi speaking people.

“Way to Joy” Printed in Bangla - $2000 The staff of ABWE produced this discipleship book to be used to help ground new believers. It will be used throughout the ABWE world. GLS would like to underwrite the expenses to get this book published in Bangla, the common language of the people of Bangladesh. This is a worthy investment in a tool that will be used for many years to come.

Here is Chris’s report. Liberia’s topography of rolling hills and distant mountains is blanketed with the lush green flora typical of equatorial West Africa. Monrovia, the capital city, is one of the country’s three major ports. Though the port is large and capable of receiving many ocean-going vessels, only a few per week enter its harbor because of the republic’s economically depressed nature. History and culture Liberia was birthed as an American colony in the late 1800s when America deported its freed slaves to Africa, the place of their roots. In spite of the moral questions surrounding that action, Liberians feel a kinship to America. At times in its history, Liberia has been known as the African America, with similarities in its flag and official language, English. Liberian English, however, is a cacophony of slurred sounds and incomplete sentences and is generally difficult for other English speakers to understand. The entire country of Liberia shows devastating signs of suffering from more than ten years of civil strife. Political coups and powerful warlords have plundered the countryside of anything and everything of value. They committed atrocities of murder and torture on thousands of Liberian citizens. Thousands upon thousands temporarily fled the country or hid in the bush for months, surviving only on the vegetation they could scavenge. Almost every Liberian can recount stories of his or her personal and family horrors. A typical Liberian family has at least five children and lives in a home of mud blocks with a roof of either palm fronds or zinc-coated corrugated metal. The family has no regular income, plants a garden, and sells fruits or vegetables alongside the road or at the market. In the cities people are colorfully clothed with many indications of American donated T-shirts. In the countryside, the smaller children are less apt to be fully clothed, with some playing naked. Christianity Verses painted on the sides of taxis and Christian slogans written on business signs indicate that Liberia is a Christian nation. Churches of various Christian persuasions and Christian schools and orphanages have been built virtually in every village of substantial size. Of course, the word “Christian” is used in the broadest sense, including many Pentecostal and charismatic groups, as well as Roman Catholic. Most of the 90–100 Baptist churches akin to the GARBC can trace their roots to decades of faithful missionaries serving with Baptist Mid-Missions. On January 12, 1954, Dr. Joseph Stowell, the national representative of the GARBC at that time, visited Liberia and inaugurated the formation of the GARBC of Liberia. Today the churches in that association fellowship in several smaller associations with various names. The impetus for our visit was an invitation I received from the African Fundamental Baptist Mission (AFBM) to speak at its annual conference of churches. The AFBM is one of the Liberian partners in the International Partnership of Fundamental Baptist Ministries. On Friday evening, May 18, 2007, Deb and I arrived at Roberts International Airport in Monrovia, Liberia. Given the facts that Monrovia is located just north of the equator and is a port city on the Atlantic Ocean and that May is the beginning of the rainy season, stepping off the plane onto the tarmac, a visitor is immediately hit with the heat and high humidity. Airports in developing nations have become known to Deb and me for their lack of air conditioning, absence of technology, and general confusion, yet we are always on edge, not exactly sure what the local questions and requirements might be. Once we stepped out of the airport, we were warmly greeted by a dozen pastors and church leaders. They had come just to extend their welcoming words to Liberia, driving to the airport located about 35 miles outside the city, an hour-and-a-half drive. For the first 10 of the 13 days, we stayed at the guesthouse of Pastor James and Lydia Togba, pastor of the Maranatha Baptist Church that hosted the conference. These accommodations were quite comfortable, even though we had to deal with the typical third-world challenges. We had running water a few hours, though it was not suitable for drinking. The generator-powered fan helped with the oppressive heat, though sleeping was still a bit uncomfortable. Lydia and her family cooked us some great meals of typical African cuisine. On our first morning, Pastor Togba decided that we needed to rest from our long journey and to prepare for our first day of ministry. He dropped us off for several hours on an Atlantic beach, which proved to be a great idea. Conference Ten churches and ten Bible fellowships were represented at the second annual, post-war conference of the AFBM; 179 registered, with 391 attending. The leaders had chosen for the conference theme “Planning with God,” taken from James 4:13 and 14. The program included a workshop session for each of the three days. I led the men’s sessions, Deb led the women’s, and two ABWE missionaries led the youth. I dealt with issues of the nature and attributes of God. Deb ministered to about 50 ladies each day. They asked many questions that were both Biblically and culturally sensitive. I developed the conference theme through six preaching sessions, expounding on the epistle of James. Both the teaching and preaching were translated into the Kpelle language. Three choirs wonderfully accented the program, two in Liberian English and one in Kpelle, using traditional African chants. We praise the Lord that with the exception of the first service, many responded to the invitations. From our perspective, the most significant decisions were made by 12 young people who committed themselves to enroll in Bible school to prepare for ministry. Children and orphans work During the course of our 13-day visit, we had the opportunity to visit six facilities for children. Maranatha Baptist Church, the host church for the conference, conducts a Christian day school, K–12. Pastor Peter Flomo serves as the country director of the Abandoned Children Care Foundation (ACCF), a ministry of AFBM, and also partners with Baptist Children’s Home, Valparaiso, Indiana. Peter houses 15 orphans and facilitates the care of many others in private Christian homes. With the help of our donors, GLS will send Peter $500 to purchase a pump for a well for the ACCF. After driving down many muddy lanes, we arrived at the school directed by Pastor James Burnette. The school administrators honored us by renaming it the Chris and Deb Hindal Foundation Academy. They also presented each of us with some traditional African apparel. One hundred twenty-one children are being trained by dedicated teachers meeting in a facility with mud floors, an inadequate roof, and primitive conditions. Also partnering with Baptist Children’s Home, Jefferson Zeon directs the Jahzjet Children Outreach Mission. This ministry cares for 67 children on a nice piece of property on the main road from Monrovia to the airport. These children are housed and educated right there by the Zeons and their staff. On the Wednesday after the conference, we left at 6:00 a.m. and toured the Jahzjet home and school, and then Brother Zeon drove us to a new work in Buchanan. The road to Buchanan was the worst road I have ever traveled. It took us five and one-half hours to drive 88 miles! We were welcomed by a group of approximately 140 people, half adults and half children, meeting in a makeshift shelter with plastic over the top and palm branches to cover the sides. They had prepared a special program for us that included singing and a presentation of two live roosters. Bible schools The AFBM presently has three Bible training schools, Berean Baptist School meets in two classrooms in a day school in Monrovia. Brother David Quina is the president. We were unable to visit the two other schools, Doro Thea and Centra. LABWE missionaries The Liberian ABWE missionary team (LABWE) consists of two couples and two singles stationed in Gbarnga, about four hours east of Monrovia. We were able to spend two days with the team, seeing their homes and discussing with them their mission for Liberia. Carolyn Sharp, a single missionary nurse, the veteran on the team, assists the nationals in many ways. Along with training ladies for Sunday School teaching in a local church, she ministers at the AFBM medical clinic. This clinic, directed by Brother Aaron, treats 100–125 patients per week. I had the opportunity to lead the Tuesday morning evangelistic outreach for the patients. The other single missionary, Steve Trexler, a physician’s assistant, also serves at the clinic, though he was home for a brief visit. Keith and Michelle Lippy, along with their six children, have enlarged a home on AFBM property. Keith serves as the team leader. He and his family travel one hour to a church plant where Keith preaches and the whole family is involved in ministry. Stephan and Regula Elser, a Swiss couple, and their three children have a heart for the unreached people in the bush. They travel every Sunday to village churches where Stephan preaches. Regula and Michelle Lippy share the burden for reaching the ladies who almost exclusively speak the Kpelle language. They see the great need for adult literacy, and Regula is disciplining herself to learn that language. Stephan, a helicopter pilot, envisions using the helicopter to fly church planters into the vast unreached areas of northwest Liberia. What a joy to meet with these dedicated servants of the Lord who make daily sacrifices to reach people who desperately need to hear of Christ. GARBC of Liberia Upon our arrival on the first Sunday, I preached to a full auditorium of about 350 people, plus their radio audience, at the Calvary Baptist Church of Monrovia. Pastor G. Larque Vaye shepherds the first church organized by Baptist Mid-Missions in Monrovia. He is a key leader in the local fellowship and facilitated a meeting for me with several pastors and church leaders. At that meeting I learned that most of the known fundamental Baptist churches were started by Baptist Mid-Missions missionaries. The pastors also reported that prior to the war, 46 churches affiliated with their association. During the war years and up to the present, the GARBC of Liberia, though organizationally intact, has remained inactive. Currently 18 churches identify themselves with this association. The pastors and leaders talked of reigniting their fellowship by convening a conference, perhaps in January 2008. On Friday I was invited to speak in chapel at the Jake Memorial Baptist College, which has 36 students, with 15 enrolled in this semester’s classes. The school has sent in its documentation in anticipation of receiving accreditation of its associate of arts degree. The staff are also working on expanding their program to offer a full four-year bachelor’s degree. Some of the leadership of the GARBC of Liberia also serve on the board of the Fundamental Baptist National Mission Agency (FBNMA). I had the privilege of meeting with its board, which is chaired by Brother William M. Kolaglaye. Among other ministries the FBNMA sponsors crusades to help jump-start church plants. Not too far from Gbarnga, we visited the property that prior to the war was the hub of Baptist Mid-Missions missionary activity. The now-grown-over airstrip and the roofless walls of buildings are reminders of more productive days past. Presently Pastor Gballe directs a small day school of 18 students in a war-ravaged shell of a building, and on Sundays he conducts worship services. Summary We left Liberia with an overwhelming sense of a nation in economic, social, moral, and spiritual crisis. Though there is much superficial evidence of Christian influence, there are only a few well-trained pastors. Most of the congregations are filled with professing believers with a minimum of education, a majority of which are illiterate. The task of discipleship and leadership training presents a formidable challenge. Some of the pastors would greatly benefit from additional schooling, but they would need an American sponsor. I explored with both associations the potential for Gospel Literature Services to supply Sunday School materials to some of their churches. Though the literacy challenge is great, GLS may still be able to help with some children’s teacher manuals and visual packets. Deb and I greatly appreciate your continued prayers as we visit our international partners and GLS recipients. God is doing a great work around the world, and we stand amazed as He sovereignly builds His church.]]> 19 2007-08-17 12:44:23 2007-08-17 16:44:23 closed open back-from-liberia publish 0 0 post http://www.garbcinternational.org/?attachment_id=23 Fri, 17 Aug 2007 19:48:50 +0000 dhindal http://www.garbcinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/hindaldilemma.jpg 23 2007-08-17 15:48:50 2007-08-17 19:48:50 closed open hindaldilemmajpg inherit 22 0 attachment _wp_attached_file C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\International\Live/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/hindaldilemma.jpg _wp_attachment_metadata a:5:{s:5:"width";i:400;s:6:"height";i:267;s:14:"hwstring_small";s:23:"height='85' width='128'";s:4:"file";s:82:"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\International\Live/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/hindaldilemma.jpg";s:5:"thumb";s:27:"hindaldilemma.thumbnail.jpg";} http://www.garbcinternational.org/?p=22 Fri, 17 Aug 2007 19:53:54 +0000 dhindal http://www.garbcinternational.org/?p=22

GLS is happy to announce the appointment of Marianne Baltensperger as the new GLS administrative assistant. Marianne comes to the position with 25 years of experience working with Regular Baptist Ministries. For 16 years she served as the executive secretary for the national representative, first for Dr. Paul Tassel and then for Dr. Mark Jackson. Chris Hindal expresses his gratefulness to the Lord for the privilege of working with Marianne and anticipates a smooth transition as they work together.

I. Conferences and Gospel Campaigns:

(1) Deeper Christian Life Conference – April 4-8, 2007

This conference was held at Tahan where Christian community is located. There were between 1100 – 1600 people every day and every night. Many people realized that they were carnal and their ministry is flesh dependent ministry, and they confessed their sin to God and they enjoyed to know the importance of Spirit-filled life and they completely surrender themselves to God.

This is a wonderful conference; we plan to have Holiness Conference every year at that town. At that Conference 31 people got saved, Haleluijah.

(2) Rogma Free International Correspondence Graduation Service:

On April 9, the Graduation service was held and there were 27 graduate students. This School is a solid Biblical sound School and there are 36 Great Bible Doctrines. We have more than 1700 students in Falam Chin dialect , Mizo, Burmese and in English in our ministries.

We held the graduation service at Aungtitsa Revival Baptist Church and there was a great Banquet also.

(3) Biblical School of Theology Gospel Tour in Hakha City :

(April 11 – 15, 2007)

By God’s grace we do this Gospel tour every year. This year we planed and prayed to go to Hakha town which is the capital city of Chin State and where Revival broke-out two years a go. Five instructors and 67 Bible students went to that city, and we were divided into three groups: One group was led by Daniel Thang ( Academic Dean) and they were with Grace Baptist Church; the other group was led by one of our instructors and they were with Revival Baptist Church; and I led one group and we were with Calvary Baptist Church.

Students visited house to house and shared the gospel individually for three days. They reached 1224 people with the gospel and 198 people got saved through students’ personal witnessing. We the instructors conducted Bible Teaching at their churches and we preached every evening. Believers were encouraged and there was a great church growth. The other interesting result is, an other Revival Baptist Church is existed at out skirt of Hakha City as a result of this Gospel Tour activity.

The below four students are strong in soul winning and they are now in the mission fields.

In order to have this Gospel Tour, we did need a big money, as we prayed the Lord provided the funds and we are sure that there will be a great reward there in Heaven. We thank God for this great work.

After this Gospel Tour, Our Bible students have gone to different villages to preach the gospel. When they come back to the Bible School in July, they will share their outreach experiences.

(4) Gospel Campaign at Rizua Town:

(April 16 – 22, 2007)

Rizua town is known as a drug addicted town and so the Chin Evangelical Fellowship planned and prayed for Gospel Campaign. The CEF invited me to go there as their main speaker and Bible teacher. I brought my wife Lily, another three Bible teachers with me.

By God’s grace, the gospel campaign was successful. As a result, 132 adult people got saved, and children’ gospel campaign was done by my wife and another Bible women and 125 children got saved. Haleluijah. This town is at India border town and it is 106 miles a way from Hakha town.

Day time Bible Study:

Children Salvation Campaign

Preaching on Sunday morning at open air under the pandal:

Rizua is a new town and which is the in the Zotung area. They are chin, but influenced by Liberal Baptist. There were some gospel preachers who did not agree with the liberal preachers and so they formed the Zo Christian Church 18 years ago. They are now spread out at 22 villages, and the leaders came to meet me and they wanted to join our Revival Baptist Churches Fellowship and we did agreement also. We make some decisions:

(a) As they do need Bible School, we the Biblical School of Theology will start Biblical School of Ministry at Rizua town in 2008. All of the preachers are uneducated and they need Bible training. This training will last one month a year. In order to start, they need a building. They have a piece of land and $ 4500.00 will be able to build a building for Biblical School of Ministry. Please pray with us for that needed money.

(b) In the month of May 2008, we the Biblical School of theology will conduct a seminar for women and Sunday school teachers.

(c) In the month of April 2008, we will send five children workers to conduct crusade for children. The church leaders promised me that they will collect 2000 children from villages.

Untrained preachers who need Bible Training

While in the preaching trip, my gout problem is a problem. But I did not give up the preaching ministry and when I got back home on April 30, I was exhausted and I did rest for 26 hours. I am now O.K and I will begin my NT Grammar checking again, this will be the final. There is a strong invitation from China- Loas..Myanmar Border and so I plan to go there again on May 17. I will give you a report again at the end of May.

What I see the need is: We do need a strong Jeep which can go the country for outreach.

$ 15000.00 can buy a brand new good one. Please pray with me for a Jeep for outreach.

Yours in His service,

Timothy Sui Lian Mang

I will be providing them with a complete video editing studio (software and hardware) to capture the hours of training videos they have. I will train them how to encode the videos to publish them to the world wide web, for download accessibility from within the walls of china.

Through donations to our Adopt-A-Website project we are able to set up a secure server to facilitate the bandwidth and quantity of the files available for download. This server enables them to do this securely and not traceable.

Please continue to pray for this trip. Amy and I will be traveling half way around the world as we leave our children and face countless hours in several different airplanes. The eternal affects from this ministry trip, can only be known by our Lord, who ordained this all to come together and has provided for all the financial needs for this project.

God's Story DVD/VCD

God's Story Video is a resource that we have availible to distribute globally in multiple languages. The video covers the contents of the entire Bible in a story telling type format. It does not quote it word for word, but tells it as a loving father would tell his son the truths of God's plan for mankind. This type of format comes in very handy for those around the world how are illiterate. It is 75 min. in length, and covers from creation to the ressurection of Christ. Each language ends with a cultural approach to requesting a response to this good news of "God's Story"..We have the God's Story Video in 8 languages and more on the way.

Hispanic Training DVD

One of our goals with GLS, is to use media to EQUIP missionaries and nationals with media tools to reach the world for Christ. One request that we have undertaken is the area of helping Hispanics train for pastoral ministry. Here are some statistics that will help you understand the need for helping missionaries and churches reach the Hispanic people group. Click here to learn more.

Adopt-A-Website

One of the most used modern ways to communicate in our world today is through the Internet. More than a billion people have access to the World Wide Web, and it is growing everyday. We want to equip missionaries to use this medium as a tool to reach the people groups where God has called them minister. Click here for more information

Four airplanes and about 7,000 miles took us halfway around the world from home. We and all of our luggage arrived safely in Saipan at 9:00 p.m. Sunday (Saipan time). The driver sent to pick us up, Manny, was there waiting with a sign (what a relief it was to see that sign). Arriving at our host’s house, we were warmly greeted by the entire family. We spent some time reacquainting ourselves and discussing the week’s agenda. Things look very good for this coming week. We also heard about a barrier reef just down the road, so I think snorkeling will have to be on our agenda. I will be teaching in the evenings for about four hours. I am praying that these wonderful young Chinese men will pick these tools up, be creative, and continue this ministry for years to come. That’s all for now. We will post more soon.

Dr. Gerald Webber, president of FOM tendered his resignation due to the pressures of pastoral ministry. The Fellowship expressed its appreciation to Dr. Webber for his tenure of service with a financial gift and plaque. The executive committee will act as a search committee to seek God’s direction in finding a new President.

Pastor Ortiz is a great Bible teacher and preacher and does plenty of training and preaching in Mexico. Members of his congregation always ask if they can have his teaching on a CD to remember and to share with family and friends, but until now that was not possible. Dave Anthony and I quickly did some research and purchased some equipment. Within a few days we were able to give Pastor Ortiz the equipment to enable his church to record straight to CD. We also purchased a duplicator for making copies to distribute around Mexico. We are confident that these tools will be used in an incredible way to further the distribution of the gospel in Mexico.

It is my privilege to equip and train believers around the world to use technology to spread the good news of Jesus Christ and His love for mankind. It is the giving from our supporters and friends that enables us to keep doing projects like this one. If you are interested in giving to a technology project, contact Digital Impact of the GARBC International Ministries. It would be our joy, on your behalf, to help keep projects like this one continuing around the world.

In the midst of all these we all those who are in Silchar passed through a destructive flood for last two weeks. The water did not enter the campus of the Bible College, but it was surrounded by water like an island. Many people suffered a lot. Many houses were under water. The house we started to build was also under water for two weeks, we lost many things, yet house was not destroyed, we cleaned up and fixed some of the things. As it is not yet finished, we are not staying there, as for now we are in the college apartment. The cost of things rose very high as things are destroyed, farmers lost paddy plants, vegetables and fruits so much that everything is costly. The government is trying to bring the price low but the businessmen are trying to earn more so common people are suffering. Please pray for us. We are thankful to God for such friends like you who are praying for us continually and thinking of us. We are praying for you so that you all will be fine and be blessed by the Lord.

Miranda is doing well in her studies. She is busy with the preparation of her exams which are coming soon. Winter is setting in Shillong now, so quite cold already. It is not as cold as Michigan, but due to the lack of proper heating system the place is very cold. Its cold season starts in September and ends in March, so you can imagine the situation! Miranda is having sinus problem too. Though it is cold we sent her there because the state is a Christian state, and colleges are run by Christians, and no disturbances by pujas (Hindu festivals) and bandhs (bandhs are blockades, the time people agitate against government and closes down everything for few days). In Shillong bandhs are very rare but in Silchar very frequent, children suffer a lot in their education. But now she has been ill for the last three days. Megha & I are planning to visit her tomorrow. Please pray for her.

Please continually pray for us. Our prayers are with you. Thanks again.

Abandoned Children Care Foundation Monrovia, Liberia by Pastor Peter K. Flomo, country director For fourteen years, the people of Liberia fought against themselves in a war. Many children became orphans, and others were left behind. So, ten years ago (in 1998) some Christians started the Abandoned Children Care Foundation. The foundation collects money for the children and makes sure the money goes toward taking care of the children. When children of Liberia lost their families, they needed someone else to take care of them. The Abandoned Children Care Foundation helps to fi nd Christian families for the children to live with. About three hundred orphans are being taken care of, and there are more all the time. Meet Donna and Isaac Donna, one of fi ve children, was orphaned when she was only one month old. Donna’s father is a polygamist. That word means he has more than one wife. Sadly, he made slaves out of his wives and didn’t treat them well. So Donna’s mother killed herself to escape her horrible life. Donna is a happy baby now because she lives with a Christian family. She will grow up knowing about Jesus! When Isaac’s mother was ready to have her baby, there were no hospitals, clinics, or ambulances in her village. Her neighbors carried her to the nearest doctor far away. She had her baby, Isaac, on the way. When Isaac was only one hour old, the men left him along the road where he had been born. They took his mother to a clinic, but she died. Now Isaac lives with the same Christian family as Donna, and he is learning about God’s love. Click on image below to enlarge it.

Children Assistance Friendship Foundation Paynesville, Liberia by James Burnette, executive director, Chris & Deb Hindal Foundation Academy

The Children Assistance Friendship Foundation was started four years ago (in 2004) to help children who lost their parents during the civil war in Liberia, West Africa. A civil war is a war between people in the same country. Many adults died during the war, and their children became orphans.

Jahzjet Children Outreach Mission Monrovia, Liberia by Jefferson Zeon, director, Jahzjet Orphanage

The Republic of Liberia became a country over 160 years ago. The country was started by freed slaves from the United States. The name “Liberia” means “liberty.” Sadly, the Liberian people fought a war against each other, as different groups tried to take over the government. Thousands of people were killed during the war.

Hope Baptist Children’s Home Churachandpur, India by H. C. Stephen

Hope Baptist Children’s Home began six years ago (in 2002) in Churachandpur (chur–a-CHANDpurr), a city in the country of India. A group of churches called the New Testament Baptist Church Association of India joined with the Baptist Children’s Home of Valparaiso, Indiana, to start the Hope Baptist Children’s Home.

Chirchir Children’s Home Naibor, Kenya by Paula Doaks, former missionary to Kenya Naibor (NAY-bor) is a small village in Kenya, East Africa. The people are poor and live in homes made of mud and sticks with tin roofs and dirt floors. The dry land makes it hard to grow food there. Most of the people take care of cattle, sheep, and goats to make a living. How the Children’s Home Got Started Pastor John Chirchir (CHUR-chur) grew up in Naibor. When he was young, a missionary came to the village. John heard God’s Word and became a Christian. He studied the Word of God and now is the pastor of Tumaini (Too-MAHN-ee) Baptist Church. Pastor John and his wife, Mary, have six children. Drunkenness and violence cause many problems in Naibor. There’s another problem too: People are dying of AIDS and leaving behind many orphaned children. Grandparents or other relatives must take care of the orphans, but many families are very poor. Some children have no one to care for them. Pastor John wanted to help these children, so he and his wife began to take some of them into their home. Meet Moses Moses Osono is one of the children who live with Pastor John’s family. He is thirteen years old. Both of Moses’ parents are dead. Before going to the children’s home, Moses lived with his uncle and aunt, but they could no longer care for him. Now that he lives at the children’s home, he gets to go to school. He says he likes to study English. Now Moses has a place to live, food to eat, clothes, and parents. He is also learning about how much God loves him. He helps around the children’s home by fetching water from the river and herding goats when he is on school holiday. God has blessed Moses. Click on image below to enlarge it.

Hindals in Peru

 
About Peru . . .
Peru is a country of topographical diversity. The varied landscape includes Pacific beaches, dry coastal cities, barren Andes foothills, towering peaks of the great Andes range, vast tropical high jungle, and low jungle in which the mighty Amazon River flows. Peru’s rich history dates back to the second century, when the country was ruled by the Moche people, who dominated for 600 years. The magnificent ruins reveal their pagan religious festivals and their infatuation with the sun and moon, which they regarded as gods. Though the civilization was quite advanced in building and artistry, the depravity of their paganism was manifested in human sacrifice.
Insights from the Chan Chan dynasty (800 to the mid-1400s) can be gathered from the extensive ruins covering approximately 10 square miles. Visitors are guided through the area with a historical narrative. Even though Peru is mostly known for the rule of the Incas (1500s), they dominated the area for only about 60 years. Then Spaniards, who were pursuing silver and gold, conquered the country.

The Hindals’ first ministry took place in Trujillo, which is about an hour’s flight north of Lima. Baptist Mid-Missions first sent missionaries there in the 1930s. Twenty independent Baptist churches that trace their roots to that missionary work presently minister to this city of 750,000. Jonathan and Julie Stilwell warmly received Chris and Deb into their home, and their family served as the Hindals’ hosts and haven away from home.

Gethsemane Baptist Church
Ironically, Chris and Deb’s first two ministry opportunities, scheduled for Sunday morning, were cancelled because of a nationwide census conducted that day. By governmental order, every family in the country of Peru was to stay home from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. So the Hindals held a family service with the Stilwells. Sunday evening Chris preached at the Gethsemane Baptist Church, which is pastored by Jonathan Stilwell. Gethsemane Baptist meets in its own three-story concrete and stucco building. The first two floors are finished with adequate space for 300 to 400 worshipers. The third story is presently under construction and designed to be the pastor’s home. About 50 people attended that evening. The Hindals found them warm and receptive.

Baptist Seminary of Peru
The approximately four-acre campus of the Baptist Seminary of Peru is located within walking distance of the Stilwells’ home. The Hindals were privileged to take part in the celebration of the seminary’s 37th anniversary. Chris preached each morning in chapel and in the evening services. Pastor Julio and his wife, Flor, the pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist church in Trujillo, invited Chris and Deb into their home and served them a delicious Peruvian-style meal on Wednesday evening. That night Chris preached in the midweek service. Several church choirs and special music groups participated in the Thursday evening concert, attended by about 800 people. Five hundred fifteen (515) guests enjoyed a wonderful banquet on Friday night, complete with linen tablecloths on round tables, under a specially designed outdoor tent. The warm fellowship offset the cool evening temperature.
Reverend Enoc Principe directs this fine seminary, with a current student body of about 100. The campus includes dormitories for both men and women and for married students. Several faculty also have homes on the campus. The main three-story academic building includes a cafeteria, classrooms, a library, and a chapel. Aside from the studies, campus life seems to center around the snack shack and the soccer field. It would be hard to exaggerate the impact of Baptist Mid-Missions at the seminary: Nearly 400 independent Baptist churches have been established in Peru, and most of them are pastored by seminary graduates.

Association of Baptist Churches
Chris met with the officers of the association on Thursday morning and discussed in detail the ramifications and application process of partnership in the International Partnership of Fundamental Baptist Ministries (IPFBM). The association met for its annual meeting on Friday and voted to proceed with the application to become part of the IPFBM. Praise the Lord!

Rest of Trujillo ministry
The week was very busy, as Chris also taught four classes and Deb held two two-hour classes for the seminary ladies. Three students from the high jungle region discussed with Chris the possibility of getting assistance from GLS to build a seminary library for pastors in the jungle.

In Lima
We said good-bye to the Stilwells on Saturday, October 27, flew to Lima, and were welcomed into the home of ABWE missionaries Steve and Kelly Frerich and their five children. The Freriches’ home is situated in the foothills of the Andes Mountains in the southeast quadrant of the city, about 45 minutes from the airport. Lima, the Peruvian capital, is a bustling city of nearly 10 million people. The poorest live as squatters in shacks covering the hillsides, while tucked away in various secluded developments; the rich occupy luxurious homes in gated communities. Rich or poor, the people hustle about the city using cars, taxis, and buses—horns blowing—with few traffic regulations.
Steve Frerich graciously drove us around the city to see several ABWE-sponsored churches and pastors. Tom Pace pastors an exciting upper-class church in a beautiful church facility. One of Steve Frerich’s closest Peruvian friends pastors a church of about 45 people in a poorer section of the city. ABWE missionaries David and Evelyn Stone have been used of God to start four pregnancy centers, the main one strategically situated near the university campus. The Hindals were greatly impressed as they toured the facility and especially when they saw a bulletin board filled with stars representing the nearly 100 women who have been saved, and pink and blue paper dolls showing the number of babies’ lives that have been spared.
Through a generous ABWE contributor, a wonderful three-story brick building on a corner lot—complete with a playground and athletic court—house a seminary, Christian school, and local church. Neil Heim directs the seminary of 82 evening students. Rich Davis administers the school of 50 pre-K through grade-4 students, primarily upper-class Peruvian children. Peruvian Pastor Salvatore leads the church. We also visited a school for missionary kids under the direction of Allan Frey of Baptist Mid-Missions. It is a great facility, presently enrolling 27 students.

Steve Frerich led his church in special meetings and had Chris preach Sunday morning and evening, and Monday and Tuesday evenings. The Freriches’ church has a nice cement and stucco building, averages about 140 on a Sunday, and is searching for a Peruvian pastor to take Steve’s place.

The Hindals in Guyana
Getting to Georgetown
The next leg of the journey—which would take Chris and Deb to Georgetown, Guyana—was prolonged by some travel problems. As unreasonable as it may seem, the flight pattern from Lima, Peru, to Georgetown, Guyana, goes through Miami, Florida. Over the next day and a half, three different pilots put the Hindals’ flights in a holding pattern; four times the pilots nearly landed and at the last minute had to abort for various reasons: fog, no runway lights, and another plane on the runway. Chris and Deb spent an unscheduled night in Tobago because the airport in Trinidad was closed. Needless to say, they were happy to finally meet Everard Cadogan, the Guyanese association’s president, at the airport on Friday, November 2—thirteen hours late.
Guyana gained its independence from Great Britain in 1966. The British marked the country with the English language, English-style architecture, and left-side-of-the-road driving patterns. Free public education is available through secondary school. The primary religion is said to be Christian, although Hinduism and Islam have a lot of influence. The cities appear to be typical of developing countries: littered streets, outdoor markets, and most buildings needing maintenance.

In Georgetown
Guyana Association of Baptist Churches arranged for Chris and Deb to stay at the Guyana Bible College, where Ken and Karen Glover served as their hosts. The Hindals stayed in their own apartment, and Karen served them delicious meals.
The partnering association of Baptist churches is comprised of five local churches: Two are in Georgetown and the other three are down the coast approximately 125 miles in Berbice. On Saturday, November 3, representatives from all five of the churches met with Chris to discuss the challenges of their ministries. The purpose of the meeting was to begin the relationship that is so vital to sustain a partnership. Chris came away with several ideas as potential links to enhance the partnership’s common vision. On Sunday Chris preached at both of the churches in Georgetown, with a special service to the deaf Sunday evening with Brother David Cole.

In Berbice
Brother Everard Cadogan and Brother David Cole both took the day off from their full-time jobs and took Chris and Deb to see the churches in Berbice. Brother Allen Bhajan also took time off work and joined the tour. Brother Allen pastors two of the three churches in the Berbice area. These three churches reach into rural areas where there is much competition from Hinduism, Islam, and a variety of cults. The ladies of the church in Village #73 prepared a delicious chicken-curry lunch as other church leaders also warmly greeted the group. Each of the two churches that Pastor Allen leads has a congregation of about 80 children and 40 adults. These are faithful folk seeking to punch holes in the darkness.

The Hindals’ ministry in Guyana concluded on Wednesday evening at, Kitty Baptist Church back in Georgetown. Deb conducted a Bible study for the ladies, and Chris spoke later at the prayer meeting.

The Hindals left the guesthouse on Thursday morning at 3:00 to catch an early flight that would eventually lead them to their home in Chicago.

Summary and Reflections
While GLS has been supplying resources for many years to several South American countries, this was the first IPFBM trip to our neighbor continent to the south. The Guyana Association of Baptist Churches has the distinction of being the first South American partner; and, the Lord willing, the Association of Baptist Churches in Trujillo, Peru, will be the second.
What a blessing to enter local churches in these developing countries and see Regular Baptist Press materials on the walls, Sunday School papers, VBS posters, and other educational helps aiding the spread of God’s Word. In discussions with the pastors, Chris uncovered other needs and ways to make our efforts more effective.
The Bible students in the high jungle of Central Peru desire to build a Spanish seminary library. Perhaps a Bible college in the States would challenge its students to each buy one book and begin this library.
The three churches in the Berbice region of Guyana are cut off from the Bible college and the capital. Distance and travel difficulties make it a practical impossibility to take advantage of the available education. Each of those churches could use a partnering local church in the States to assist them in projects beyond their means. For example, one church needs a roof.
Another needs a pastor, but they can supply only a small amount of support. If a U.S. church could commit $500 per month for two years and then perhaps decrease the amount by $100 each year after that, this church could, by God’s grace, become self-supporting.
In addition to pastoring, the three pastors in the Guyana association work full-time jobs, as do their wives. These are men of God who serve without compensation, but also without complaint. Think about the impact of a local church in the U.S. partnering with a local church in Guyana!

Merry Christmas to you, our family and friends!

This year has been busy and full. Our family is so thankful for the times God has allowed our path to cross with yours. Even if we haven’t seen you this year, you’ve often been in our thoughts and prayers.

Here’s just a quick update on some of this year’s adventures.

Kara started 4th grade at Horseheads Christian School, and Lauryn started 2nd grade. Both are doing well in school and think they know everything. Lauryn just celebrated her 7th birthday, and Kara will hit double digits after the first of the year. We are thankful for both of them, as they are both really good girls—loud and crazy at times—but both are learning and are striving to please God with their thoughts and actions.

Dax is a busy two year old. Thankfully he is now potty trained (that was one of the year’s highlights—sad as that sounds). We are enjoying him and all his energy. He likes to play tackle football with Daddy and to play with his cars and trains. He looks forward to afternoons when his sisters come home so he can bug them.

We successfully finished the addition to our house earlier this year. That means that if you want to stop by and visit, there is plenty of room at our dining room table for all of us!

We were able to take the family to Florida in February to visit some really great friends. We enjoyed the weather, the fellowship, and the time off. We hope to make a return visit soon.

Chris and I had the opportunity to travel to Saipan this year and minister in a college there. (I know—you’re probably wondering where Saipan is. It’s the closest U.S. territory to China.) Saipan is a beautiful tropical island, and we enjoyed a little vacation there while Chris taught the college students about video-editing and Web stuff (Chris wasn’t teaching me about it—so that’s all I really know). But it was encouraging to be a part of the ministry there and to serve God in that way.

Chris has spent most of his Monday nights playing volleyball in a YMCA league. It's not quite as competitive as he’d like it to be, but it’s fun. We’ve taken the kids a few times to watch, and they enjoy cheering him on. The league has finished for the holiday season, and Chris is ready for the new year and for a new season to begin. 

Most recently, Chris and I took our fathers to a Steelers’ football game in Pittsburgh. I’d like to say it was the best game ever, but unfortunately, our team barely won over the Dolphins while we sat through a miserable, cold, and rainy game. But we had a lot of fun, and we’ll just say it was memorable. 

As we celebrate our Savior’s birth this season, we rejoice in all of God’s blessings, and look forward to the adventures of a new year. We wish you a wonderful Christmas, and look forward to crossing paths with you soon!

Amy for Chris, Kara, Lauryn, and Dax

Chris & Deb Hindal Director of International Ministries General Association of Regular Baptist Churches

When I accepted this position, I asked Dr. Mark Jackson if he would go with me on my first trip to India. That trip took place in January into February 2007. It was a pass-the-baton type of trip. Dr. Jackson knows our partners in India and he provided the introduction that I needed to begin a personal relationship with the goal of strengthening the partnership. The trip consisted of 30 flight segments, covering 30,000 flight miles, but more importantly we visited 11 international partners not only in India, but also Myanmar and Bangladesh. We now have 19 associations that have partnered with us in India, which means that I will probably be in India at least once a year.

I am humbled and amazed at what God is doing in India where 85 percent of the population practice Hinduism.

Pastor T. Jyothi Babu in Hyderabad pastors the Vimukthi Baptist Church and School. He has trained 13 men that are planting 13 village churches. A Christian school Bible class in Des Moines, Iowa raised the funds and bought 13 bicycles for those pastors. The IPFBM supplied $14,000 to assist in erecting a second story on the Christian school which will add room for another 200 students. Most of those children come from Hindu or Muslim families.

In May Deb and I visited Liberia in West Africa, a country still reeling with the devastation of years of civil war. We were encouraged by the commitment of the pastors of the African Fundamental Baptist Mission and another group called the GARBC of Liberia. These godly brothers are continuing to seek further Bible training so they can properly train Liberians pastors for the work of the ministry even with a lack of adequate finances still they press forward to start more churches to reach their people.

ABWE currently has two couples and two singles pioneering work in Gbanga, about 120 miles from the capital. One couple, the Elsers, have the vision and support to begin an evangelistic outreach in the unreachable area of Northwest Liberia via the use of a helicopter. While Liberia has a long history of missionary work, there is still a great need and perhaps the key will be the training of the nationals.

This year we welcomed the Association of Baptist Churches in Guyana into the IPFBM. They are our very first partner in South America. Deb and I visited them in September where I had the privilege of preaching in two of their five churches. On that same South American trip, we were invited by the Association of Baptist Churches in Trujillo, Peru to minister at their seminary and preach for their 36^th anniversary celebration. During those days the association voted to begin the application process to join the IPFBM. Praise God for brothers and sisters around the globe who are standing for the truth and seeking to reach the world for Christ.

The year 2007 marked the 34^th year of Gospel Literature Services distributing Regular Baptist Press Sunday School and Vacation Bible School materials to 109 countries. This year we faced up to the challenge of underwriting the shipping costs. GLS Team 300 was introduced at the GARBC annual conference at Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Since then over 100 families and churches have stepped up to commit $30 a month. We are trusting God to raise up the remaining 200 in 2008.

Chris and Any Brown, our GLS media missionaries, made a ground-breaking trip to a remote location. Chris was able to video a Bible course and train a dozen students to video, edit and reproduce these courses in DVD format. He left the equipment with them so they can continue the work. These DVDs will be distributed in restricted access countries as training tools for pastors.

Lord willing, as 2008 unfolds we will continue a heavy travel schedule to meet our ministry partners for the first time. We plan to be in India twice, the Philippines, China, Indonesia and Malaysia. We are asking God to work out the technical challenges of sending some of our materials electronically. Though many of our partners are in developing countries, we are investigating the best way to distribute these Biblical resources.

Pray for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. China presents a unique venue as we think of touching the lives of the international community with the gospel message. Pray that the government will exercise some tolerance during the Olympic Games.

Jesus said, “Lift up your eyes and look on the fields for they are white, already for harvest.” Let’s both open our eyes and our hearts as we think about our personal involvement in Great Commission work.

As you think about world missions, remember to pray for the International Ministries of the GARBC.

Chris Hindal
Director of International Ministries of the GARBC

After talking with everyone on the Olympic team and after much prayer, it is obvious that God has shut the door for us to go to China for the Olympic Games. Our team was split as to whether we should proceed or not. As you know, it was all or no one, since we had only ten signed up to go. I think the determining factor the best I could ascertain was the limited opportunities given the government’s posture. Everyone wanted to go, but not to just go and make some friends. If we had felt that we could at least share an open witness to the foreigners, it would have made a huge difference. I know that some felt that we should go and see what God would do, but several wondered about the wisdom of taking an expensive trip, knowing the limitations. 

I hope you believe that when God shuts a door, He opens others. His ways are higher than our ways, so we will trust Him to use us as He chooses and as we are willing and faithful. We will also explore the avenues that are available to us to have an impact at the Olympics. The English CD’s can certainly be used and I think some of the Chinese believers may want to wear the pin.  

There are some other world events that may be opportunities we might wish to explore. I am thinking of the World Cup which will be in South Africa in 2010. It is the second largest sporting event in the world, second only to the Olympics. In addition we have a number of missionaries and local churches in the area to help coordinate the efforts. Keep that in the back of your mind.  

This conclusion is disappointing to all of us, but our trust in God’s sovereignty over all supersedes our desire to go, since we would not want to go without His direct leading. Thanks for having a cooperative spirit. Let us know about your donors by contacting Judy Emery at jemery@garbc.org or by phone 888-588-1600 ext. 817. I will be in Greece and the Philippines for most of the next six weeks. She will be able however to contact me. Keep looking up, God blesses obedience.

The 9th Good News Bible Training College Convocation held on 7th Dec’07 inspired and commissioned by the word of God, 2nd Timothy 3:16-17 & 4:1- 8, Col 1 : 28-29. In the presence of a large gathering, 122 students have been Graduated. I praise God for all His guidance and blessings upon Good News Bible Training College in India.
I am praying for you and may our Lord Jesus crown you with His goodness and blessings in 2008.
    

Yours in His service

While Grace is finishing up the last 2 quarters of the three-year primary cycle, Pet has completed 9 weeks of the Jr. High curriculum. They have their sights set on tackling the Pre-primary and Junior curricula.

Even though they do this as a labor of love without compensation, they need some support to be able to complete this monumental project. If you would like to donate towards this $10,000 project, which will finish all the translation work for the children of Thailand, go to our donation page and specify “Thai translation”. What a tremendous investment they are making into the next generation of Thai children. 

The highlights of the ministry from September to December:
(A) In the area of orphanage and school: -
     The school is continuing from L.K.G. to 10th class in English and in Telugu Medium. Beside our orphan children, the school is having 250 children from outside of all castes. Most of them are from very poor back ground. We are able to give them quality education to beat the competition of the other schools. Our orphan children’s education is continuing in the same school. They had very good anniversary in Nov. 11th and our orphan children performed skits, singing, dancing along with the other talents. Most of them stood in first rank in their education as well as in games.                  
(B) In the area of ministry: -

    We had very wonderful believer’s retreat in October and in Dec. Most of the members from our churches represented and in each conference almost two to three thousand people attended.  The December meeting on 31st night people attended beyond our comprehension. They stayed all the night from 7.30 P.M. till 5.00 O’ clock in the morning. Almost all the people participated in Lord’s Table at around 3.30 A.M. on31st January. We have baptized around hundred and seventy people and added into the fellowship in October and in December meetings. On 31St Dec. three hundred widows were supplied with saris and all the orphan children were provided with new garments and blankets. Again on 3rd January we distributed several hundred saris and calendars to the left over widows. We were also able to provide one motor cycle and six bicycles to our pastors. We have conducted several area conventions in our pastor’s areas. We are again praying and preparing for the conferences in March, October and in December 2008.

Projects:    
    A. We have already started area conferences in January and February  Preparing to hold General Conference in March 12th to 16th and after the General Conference we will continue area conventions until May. We are planning to build at least three new churches during these periods while finishing the existing ones that are already under construction.

   

B. We are praying to finish up the dormitory of the orphanage as I informed you the old one is destroyed by the flood.

    C.  The most important project that we immediately need  is the water drainage, water system and over head tank.  Because we don’t have running water in our campus and we have to run water from around ½ K.M. distance. Though we have several tanks on buildings I am praying to build one over head tank to supply to the whole campus. Also the new road system has destroyed the drainage system and the old small pipe line is taking long time to supply the needed water.

    D. Starting T.V Ministry from March 1st  on Saturday at 7:30-8:00 pm, to meet the people in Telugu language in A.P. about 70 million and almost 40- 50 million watch TVs of their own or from other source. These all years God has been so gracious and meeting the needs through prayer
         by using the local church people,
         by using the national and other friends that stay in U.S.A.
         by using you. You are the main source and I can not continue it without your care. In connection to these types of projects such as buildings, water and to the TV ministry we are humbly looking unto you and waiting on God.

I pray since God knows that we are aiming for the expansion of the ministry through out A.P. and India. I certainly believe your prayers and commitment. will give a good result as Lord enables. My whole heart desire is to cover the entire state by planting a church and building churches and parsonages in the District on the first phase and in Mandal and in the cities and then in villages.  Finally we are praying to reach other states in India by training students in the Bible College. Presently we have 40 students in the Bible College. I am asking Lord not for hundreds and thousands but millions of rupees as there is need to accomplish. These goals need your prayer and encouragement. I am humbled for your donations especially in the area of orphanage, relief and in some of the projects.

The outstanding events in the ministry during this period:    
    A. The present principal’s husband started to attend the church with paralyzed legs and hands. As he gave heart to Lord he got changed newness in life. Once he used to be carried by some people, is now walking by himself. If you want I will send the picture and testimony of the family.
   
B. One of the members in our church named Deena was supposed to be cheated by someone who assured her husband to provide visa and job in U.S.A. if he Pays him with U.S $9,000.  She came to know the counsel of God by spending whole night prayer in the church and she was directed by the spirit not to pay the money in advance. She praised God for that because those who paid understood that they were cheated. Her husband recognized God’s direction and got baptized in December.
    C. One of the members in our church called Mr. Devadanam, who is working as a co-operative bank secretary was scandalized for the crime for which he is not involved. The officers being Hindus abused him in the scandal as if he had stolen the bank funds about US $12,000. He lost his job almost three years and fighting on the court for his rights. Almost four years passed without job and with so much depression, praying and asking Lord to help about this matter. When he lost his all hope he got favor of the court and he got his job back with some arrears.
    D. In the family: The people who are affected with cancer at the time of my wife are almost all dead and Lord has been so gracious to her since 14years of her sickness and I am able to marry five children and three are still waiting. God is doing so many miracles in the family and in the ministry. Even in my life God extended my days when all the prominent doctors in the CARE hospital said no hope. There are no words to express my thankfulness to God and for your kind assistance during the time to meet my medical expenses.
   

Conclusion - the challenges and the solution in the ministry:
   
    The renaissance of Hinduism is over whelming in India in many areas. The doors are being closed for public preaching in many areas. This weak 200 people are kidnapped, 6 pastors are killed in Orissa state where the Australian missionary stains and his two children were burned alive. The only solution we have is to pray and proceed with the power of God and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Rev. Dr. Chatla Devasahayam,
President

One of the keys to the expansion of this ministry is planned and purposeful prayer. The first five days of every month are set aside solely for prayer. The church family gathers at the church and, those who are able to stay, sleep on the floor for five days. Groups take turns praying throughout the day and night for the entire period. While one group sleeps, the other group prays, continuing an unbroken concert of prayer.

This church believes that nothing is accomplished apart from prayer, thus they faithfully beseech God for five days at the beginning of each month.

Two young ladies in Thailand have been working tirelessly to translate the Regular Baptist Press children’s Sunday School curriculum into Thai. This is a huge undertaking. Your gift will assist them with their personal expenses as they voluntarily spend hours and hours on this very needy project.

Print Shop in Northeast India – $2,000 till complete.

GLS purchased a printer for the New Testament Baptist Church Association of NE India. This association is led by Rev. H.C. Stephen, Association Representative. It is believed that this print shop will be self-sustaining once they get through the first project. This project represents the start-up costs to make this shop operable and complete the first book project. 


COMPLETED  - “Way to Joy” Printed in Bangla - $2000

The staff of ABWE produced this discipleship book to be used to help ground new believers. It will be used throughout the ABWE world. GLS would like to underwrite the expenses to get this book published in Bangla, the common language of the people of Bangladesh. This is a worthy investment in a tool that will be used for many years to come. 

Three new congregations are currently meeting in various rented or make-shift facilities. They can construct an adequate building for $8000. This is Hindu country being claimed for Christ. 

High School in India - $10,000 till complete
In Secunderabad, India, Pastor Jyothi Babu shepherds the Vimukthi Baptist Church and leads the Christian school. Most of the children come from Hindu and Muslim homes. To expand the number of children they can influence for Christ they need to put a second floor on their building. It is about reaching into the 1.1 billion people of India that need the Lord.

Computers for Christian School in India - $3000

A brand new church has been planted in Bassa, Liberia. They have about 50 members and God is blessing with new converts. They are starting an orphanage for the many children orphaned by the civil war. Adjacent land is available to purchase, but do not have the money for this project. Would you like to have a part in reaching the orphaned children in Liberia?

Liberia Church Plant - $10,000

Pastor Philemon by faith has begun a new church in a needy area of Monrovia. He and his family are trusting God for their personal needs as they do His work. Construction has begun as the new believers work together. They are molding the block and need additional monies for the crushed rock to continue. Your gift would be a great encouragement to this effort.

Chris and Deb Hindal made a recent trip to the partner, Independent Baptist Fellowship, in Secunderabad, India. Rev. T. Jyothi Babu, president, hosted the Hindals with a tour of the facility, a meeting with village pastors and a presentation by the school children of their science projects, drawings, and programs by various age groups. Please listen to the video clip from Pastor Babu.

 This is the first semester or the first year for me to be President Indonesian Theological Seminary, we called Sekolah Tinggi Theologia Indonesia. This seminary is Baptist tradition which started since 1972. There are so many leaders around Indonesia have graduated from this seminary.

Today my vision is to prepare leaders for local churches in the future, who have knowledge and skill how to share the Gospel, how to train the new leaders as the way of Jesus and His Apostles for evangelism and church planting. This semester I have been teaching new paradigms to the students and some leaders of local churches. I have more than 30 people who joined this class. They are interesting in studying.

Next semester, I will be started with some groups in some islands and provinces or satellite school for training leaders in evangelism and church palnting. Next month, April 7-12, 2008, I will be visited west of Sulawesi islands and centre of Jawa in Purwokerto (there are most people of Muslem). 

You could see on the picture that most of students and pastors from local churches interesting in learning and studying, when I am teaching in class. 

 

Furthermore, last week, on Friday night, I have special worship service. I called it  “Mission Night” and show the church members and others leaders about the church mission in the world today. The one interesting in sharing mission is pastor Moklas who shared the Gospel and many people believed Jesus as Savior. He trained some leaders and they are trained others also. Today, in my church, I have three leaders who already sent to start new churches in different places. Pastor Recky in Kotamobagu ( a lot of Muslem), pastor Erna Keloay in Sea Philipi, pastor Johny in Tomohon. Please pray for this ministries as Paul asking to Thessalonians believers, based on 2 Thes.3:1. “Finally brothers, pray for us that the message (Word) of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you.”

Mission Night Worship 

Finally, thank you so much for your supporting me in your praying. Please remember me always in your prayer with my prayer requests:

1. Planning to start satellite schools in some provinces with some key leaders for training.

2. Teaching and training leaders in seminary.

3. Financial supporting for training leaders and evangelism and church planting

4. My trip mission to west of Sulawesi and centre of Jawa in Purwokerto. I need to raise some money for this mission trip.

5. My trip of mission to Semarang on April 14 – 25, 2008.

6. My father, who has retired from pastor, had problem about his health.   I helped him to doctor and still had problem.

Your fellow worker in Christ,

Ferry S. Paoki.

Our school has a great opportunity to reach out to many students from different countries in Asia. Many of them came to us when they were only 2 or 3 years old. We have wonderful opportunity to lead them to the Lord. The Lord continues to enable us to work among the ministries in the 10/40 window.

This week, protests, demonstrations, and even riots have occurred throughout the country. This crisis is directly affecting us in the association and in the churches. Please help us in your prayers.

your brother, pastor Predestin Pierre Herard.

Jefferson Zeon – Monrovia, Liberia

Using RBP materials, the Asuncion’s reported a VBS attendance of approximately 100 children. The invitation to come will not reach these rural folks because they are too shy to enter a city church. The Asuncion’s have rather chosen to obey the command to go. God is graciously extending His salvation to an otherwise neglected people. Praise God that through Gospel Literature Services these Biblical resources are reaping eternal dividends.

This is the church that followed up on the Hindal’s report of their trip to Haiti in 2006. Pastor Mark Sterken, the outreach pastor, assembled a medical team from the church membership and led them on a mission’s trip to Haiti. That mission’s trip not only impacted those who went but also the 1750 patients and the 55 who professed faith in Christ. This church has been a long time supporter of Gospel Literature Services and several of its members showed interest in some of the current projects. Praise God for a church which expresses the heart of God through its Great Commission work.

Please pray for Dave and his family who leads this group. He needs some supporting to develop this group and to teach them about how to become a disciple of Jesus.
Furtermore, 3 weeks ago, I have made my ministry in Grace Baptist Church. The one of Baptist Church is in my city. I told with the leaders in this church and the pastor interested in talking to develop of partnership. I have preached and my team leads some small groups of Bible study in this church and the kids also.

   

And, two weeks ago also, my church members with me went out to Sumaru Endo place (nice place) to make a special meeting: worship together, sing together, play together, and swim in the pool together. There are a good fellowship happened among us.

Finally, please continually pray for my ministry and my prayer be with you too.
Sincerely in Christ,
Ferry S. Paoki.
