This past month The Lord’s faithfulness was
over me like never before. He has and is teaching me a lot. One of the biggest
things that the Lord is teaching me is to understand that maturity comes not
over night but through constant obedience day after day, time after time, and
from one situation to another. So often I expect maturity to come my way
according to my own terms. I’ve been so very inspired meeting and living with
people who served Jesus over 20-30 years in the mission field. As for me it has
been just 3 years in the field and I can only imagine what would be of me when
I complete 30 years and more. The powerful testimonies and stories that they
have just amazes me. I’m on a journey to have much more stories to tell than
them. I’m beginning to understand that small things that I so often ignore are
the ones that make me mature. This past month I’ve been through a lot. To be
honest it was the loneliest time of my life. I missed family and home more than
ever. The thing I miss the most were the meal times when we would just talk and
have amazingly long conversations. But now I’m in a completely different
culture. Although I miss home and family the Lord is teaching me something that
is very hard to digest, a truth that is bitter-sweet. The truth is that He
allows us to go through whatever comes our way so that we can overcome. Some
things may taste bitter and some may taste sweet, but the Lord works it all for
good. This past month I’ve tasted both bitterness and sweetness.
Hosting a team from YWAM Mysore, Fund
raising, Celebrating our 5th Monpa fellowship Anniversary, Friday
fellowship, and shifting to a new house to run our DTS are the highlights of
this extremely busy month that I had.
I want to thank everyone who prayed for my
DTS housing. We finally shifted to our new house. I remember last year we
walked all across our town visiting houses and praying for people and searching
for a housing to run our school simultaneously. Finally after a year of prayer
the Lord answered us. On behalf of my team and me, I want to thank you so much
for you faithfulness in praying for us. I constantly encourage my team mates
that all those that read my blog and newsletters are always covering us in
prayer, and this really encourages them. They also send me a list of prayer
requests to post. You encourage us a lot. It is because of your prayers that we
are able to expand His kingdom in this part of the world in a much faster pace.
I was in tears during worship on the day we
celebrated our 5th Monpa fellowship anniversary. The presence of
Jesus was so powerful. There was deep joy in my heart to worship my king with an
unreached people group known as the Monpa tribe. This fellowship was started
for the Monpa people. They are a Buddhist tribe from a place called Tawang in
Arunachal. Tawang is located 14,000 feet high above sea level. There are very
less Christians among the Monpas. The people are well known to be very, very
strong Buddhist. Persecution of Christians in the land of Tawang is very
common. Please pray for them. It is so difficult for them to accept the gospel.
Most of the people that I know of who came to the Lord from this tribe received
a super natural visitation of Jesus. Only a supernatural revelation from Christ
would change them. As I worshiped Jesus with a few Monpa believers my heart was
overwhelmed with joy. I remembered the scripture that every nation, tongue and
tribe would worship Jesus. Please pray that the Monpa people would come to know
the Lord. Pray for Annu my DTS leader who is also leading this Monpa
Fellowship. She too encountered Jesus in a super natural way in which Jesus
himself appeared to her. She is a faithful and powerful woman of God both in
word and indeed. After years of prayer the Monpas will soon have a Bible in
their own language. Annu’s sister Sammie is now working in translating the
bible in their own language along with an anointed woman of God Annette who is
from Norway. It is a joy for me to work
with the Monpa fellowship. Please stand with us in prayer to see the kingdom of
God established in the hearts of all the Monpas.
THANKYOU...
