Hi friend,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Training Nationals for Nationals<\/div>\n
in integrity and skills<\/div>\n
(Psalm 78:72)<\/div>\n
(2Co 11:26,27)\u00a0\u00a0In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;\u00a0 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.<\/div>\n
The great missionary Paul traversed the known lands of his days, preaching, teaching, planting, edifying and equipping churches.\u00a0He encountered and endured much sufferings from people and circumstances, as he learnt to enter into the fellowship of His Master\u2019s sufferings (Phil. 3:10).\u00a0As long as Christ was magnified, he rejoiced (Phil. 1:18,20).\u00a0Yes, to him, to live is Christ and to die is gain (Phil. 1:21).\u00a0 Very few are like Paul in his dedication and sacrifice.<\/div>\n
In our modern travels, we face some unique challenges. One concerns the reliability of the plane service. Once we had the privilege to travel in an old plane in a certain country. This same plane crashed into the hills a month later.\u00a0God preserved us!\u00a0As we were returning home from Nepal the September trip, a plane crashed and killed all on board some hours earlier.\u00a0 Our comfort was the reminder that God knows best and is in control and that, one way or another, we were going home \u2013 that is, going home to be with the Lord forever or go home to our loved ones on earth.\u00a0Also it was re-assuring to know that as we were on the plane, God\u2019s everlasting and great arms were underneath us (Deut. 33:27). If the plane were to go down, we would go up, to be with Him forever.\u00a0Yes, safe in the Almighty and loving Arms of Jesus all the time and in all places.\u00a0The good Lord knows all that are His.\u00a0 And once His, always His. Praise the Lord. Yes, for us to live is Christ, to die is gain.<\/div>\n

Thanks for your continued prayer and support as we trained 66 pastors and leaders.\u00a0Though we had graduated 23 earlier, God still provided some new ones.\u00a0We praised the good Lord as we taught them how to connect, communicate and care for themselves and others.\u00a0Here are some blessings:<\/div>\n
\u201cI have received many skills of caring and connecting that I have never experienced before.\u201d (Peter Shahi).<\/div>\n
\u201cI usually tried to connect with people but they would not listen. Now I learn how to connect and care in biblical ways.\u201d\u00a0 (Shambhu Prasad Chaudhari).<\/div>\n
\u201cCaring is the foundation of Christian ministry as our Saviour is our role model.\u00a0My church will begin to grow when I as the pastor begin to care in the way God wants.\u201d (Tej Prakash).<\/div>\n
