Hi friend,Training Nationals for Nationals<\/b>\u00a0<\/b>in integrity and skills (Psalm 78:72)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Medan, Indonesia
\n<\/b><\/div>\n
The good Lord gave us a flying start into 2011 with a rousing time in Medan, with some 70 plus pastors and leaders from Medan area, Acheh, Nias Island and one from Jakarta.\u00a0 This session is our 7th session with some 14 study courses.\u00a0 The leaders have been faithfully attending and growing well in the Lord.\u00a0 The bonding is getting better and we all are realizing that we are in the cause of Jesus Christ together.\u00a0 Together we rise, and together we fall.\u00a0 As the blessed\u00a0 Lord reminds us:\u00a0 we rejoice with those that rejoice; we weep with those that weep.\u00a0 We usually end our sessions with the observance of the Lord\u2019s Supper, that binds our hearts and lives to Jesus and Jesus only, our Saviour and our Master.\u00a0 Our prayer is not only to impart information but also to inculcate transformation.\u00a0 One aspect is the cultivation of a great community of pastors and leaders that care and share.\u00a0 This attitude should cascade down to the various churches and ministries that God has put them.\u00a0 Praise the Lord.<\/div>\n

Myanmar<\/b><\/div>\n
A team of 5 was in Myanmar recently.\u00a0 We ministered at two seminaries and one Spiritual Convention of a fellowship of 30 churches.\u00a0 The vision of one Seminary, under Rev. James is to reach out to all 7 states and 7 divisions in Myanmar.\u00a0 Thus far, 10 states and divisions had been reached with churches planted.\u00a0 This Seminary had its 24th graduation service and we were privileged to be involved in the ceremony.\u00a0 9 graduated.\u00a0 The Seminary is also conducting a Masters program every November (this year, 31 Oct. to 9 Nov, 2011).\u00a0 We are helping to up-grade the Seminary and the pastors and leaders.\u00a0 Rev. James at present is doing his doctoral studies.\u00a0 We had some 300 plus for the spiritual convention and their minds and hearts were so receptive to the teaching, preaching and fellowship.\u00a0 God be praised for raising up His Banner in and through His people.\u00a0 Please take time to view the photos and to pray for and with us for God\u2019s continued leading and blessings.<\/div>\n
