Prayer Letter
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
What to Thank God for: 1). I want to start with a good news about my children’s health report. God is answering our prayers. In response to the report sent by the children hospital owner and child specialist Dr Das who treats Levi, that the famous heart hospital from Delhi informed us that Levi need not go through surgery. The size of the hole is now 2.80 mm and it will close by itself. Glory to the name of Jesus Christ. At present Levi is active and healthy. 2). The child doctor also checked Jemima and told us that Jemima’s heart is also getting much better. 3) Two big denominations in our State refused to join WCC in their general council. Just because few of the elders happened to read my book “World Council of Churches: where it is heading, Its time for Evangelicals to think” sponsored by IFCA International. 4)My latest book is now used by lay leaders for sermons. Widows read and find new hopes. This morning I received a phone call from a military officer telling that their unit is not having a pastor. So he has to preach most of the sermons. He uses my book for his sermon. 5). Few days back we were able to put some plastic chairs at our door of hope mission centre. 6). Thank God and thank you for the new book fund that has already come. The book project is going on actively. 7) Thank God my brother, Henkhothang, has graduated D. Min. from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth and is coming next month. We are excited to meet him. So bad daddy won’t be there any more to celebrate the achievement here on Earth. Hope he would be smiling up in Heaven. 8). In fact the LORD gave me a new promise from His WORD for this year. This blesses my heart and give me hope and joy unspeakable; Exodus 23:25-27 . It is like God is renewing and extending my contract for serving HIM. And He promised to bless my bread and water. He will remove sickness from my family. Nobody will have miscarriage and barren in the land. He will fulfill the number of my days. My! This are more than the world to me. And now I am ready enjoy the fruit of Canaan. What to pray for this year: 1. On 27th Jan, we are travelling to our home town Churachandpur. Pray for our safejourney. We are taking our CAR. It is 24 hours by bus. We don’t know by Car. Specially pray for Levi and Jemima. 2. We will do a lot of visits to families and friends. We will have a lot of preaching and meetings 3. This year the door of hope has in the calendar 1) big gospel open air meeting among Hindus, 2) salvation camps for men (hard core ones) and 3) VBS, 4) salvation camp for women 5) Salvation camp for youth etc etc. 4. Book project work in Kuki and Paite dialect is going on. 5. Aggressive ministry among the Muslims. Please also pray for my own personal devotion and my family life. My wife and children must not be neglected. At the same time I want to be effective in ministry. Brother Alan Gin’s definition of ministry inspires me so much. He says, “Ministry is about the overflow of God’s life is us.” Warren Wiersbe defines ministry,“Ministry is not what you do. It is who you are.” I realized that I fail many times in this aspect of being. There is exciting and challenging future ahead of us. We need the Grace and Mercy of God in our journey. He who called us is faithful and He will do it. He will not forsake us half way. He will be there till the end. In fact He goes ahead of us sending hornet to clear our ways. Without Him I cannot continue one step. Without Him we fear no forces of darkness too strong. Again Thank you for your monthly gifts and supports! We also set special days for fasting prayer for you supporters by name and thanking God because of you !May the LORD be with your spirit! Dongza, Hoiching, Levi and Jemima Door of Hope Ministry |
