Newsletter - Christmas 2010
Greetings for the 2010 holidays have a blessed and Prosperous New Year.
The words to this song express our heart:"For all that you have done I will thank you; all that you are going to do; all that you promised; all that you are, is all that has carried me through." Dennis Jernigan - THANK YOU, LORD
This year began magnificently with a fantastic ministry-filled 22 days in India. I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry. 1Timothy 1:12. We were able to minister in each of our 20 churches throughout Andra Pradesh and also held a number of conventions, as well as visited seniors, schools and other churches.
The words echoed wherever we went, "when will you return?" At this time there is no plan to go to India this year but plans are already developing for next year. Two people have already said they would come and help minister. The pastors are hungry to receive training and encouragement. Their congregations as well, receive a boost and come wanting to receive the word of the Lord. It has been on our minds for some time to get further training for the pastors. We are praying for finances for a solar-powered "Proclaimer" these can be viewed on FAITH COMES BY HEARING It plays the Bible in their language. We would use Telugu. Many of the gospel workers do not know how to read and the Proclaimer is a fantastic tool.
Upon returning to Canada I had numerous health issues, as does Evelyn as well. Suddenly one of our pastors in India became deathly ill. He was taken to Hospital and given treatment. He is a poor man and had to get a loan to pay for his medical expenses. The other pastors decided they would share half of their support with him to repay his debt. God touched a family in Canada who sent the finances that covered all his expenses. All three of us are well. Isn't He wonderful? Eyes not seen ears not heard what's recorded in His Word. Hallelujah we bless Him!
News from India: God has been faithful. He has given us a persistent director, Christer. Finances have been very low at times, but he continues to work diligently. Our first praise report: that after applying and not receiving status; we are now a registered organization with the Indian government.
We hope you will continue to pray for our pastors who need our support to continue the work. Our mission preaches the gospel to ALL. Our prayer needs are:
1. Mungamma is caring for seniors and they are building on land and need support to complete the work.
2. Young people who need help to get employment, training is essential.
3. A pastor has taken in some orphan children; there are many children in the streets that need our help.
4. Other pastors have asked to come under our Mission.
"Our God is greater, is stronger, you are higher than any other. God is Healer: awesome in power Our God"
Our prayer for 2011, that it will be a year of blessing and His will completed in your life. Praying if we live but one more day, help us make it the best day of our life. If we live for years, help us to fill them with peace, joy, contentment, and service. Amen
May the Lord richly bless you!
In His Service,
Faith Splane and Evelyn
