Life

I am currently on the field in Asia, and I want to praise God for His abundant mercy on our first of three conferences. About 30 pastors, most being HeartCry supported missionaries, came to North India for a five-day conference lead by a missionary friend of HeartCry’s in East Asia. This brother has many years of experience on the mission field in Asia and even more years experience as a pastor in America. I praise God for how in-depth and anointed the teaching was during this conference and how God was very apparently with us. The content of the conference is listed below.

Church

  1. A True, Biblical Ministry

It was a great joy to see these Indian missionaries being trained in the great truths of the Scriptures, and I feel they were greatly helped by how God blessed the teaching with such clarity and conviction. Several of the men asked me for copies of the recorded sessions, and I heard many testimonies of how impacted they were during this conference.

We are now on to Nepal for another pastors conference, followed by a final conference in a different state of North India. Praise God that the biblical Gospel is going forth in Asia and for all the work that He is doing on this side of the world. We would ask your continued prayers during these last two weeks of our journey.

Grace and peace to you.
