Hi friend,

Training Nationals for Nationals in integrity and skills (Psalm 78:72)

God is working and how we are blessed.  March had been a busy month for which we praise the good Lord for using us.  April brings its showers and much needed rest.  The month of May will bring forth some possibilities and stretching out.  Thanks so very much for your prayers and participation in the Gospel training of leaders for multiplication.

1.        KATHMANDU, NEPAL (8-15 March).  Pastors Yap Beng Shin and Simon N. had great times with the pastors and leaders.  Pastor Yap trained on Follow-up discipleship, the immediate steps after the salvation experience.  Through this, we added another step in the process of intentional discipleship.  Pastor Simon worked on the mission emphasis, on the Life of Paul and his missionary journeys.  In our global village, Nepalese are also having their Diaspora.  We read of reports of our graduates going into Bhutan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Myanmar and Hong Kong, training leaders.  Our next graduation will be in September, 2014.  The Lord willing, the group from East Nepal will be among those graduating.

2.       SINGAPORE  (21-23 March).  Back home, we began the Diploma of Ministry program – 3 modules per year in March, July and October – 8 modules will be needed for the Diploma or Graduate Diploma.  The emphasis will be on development of character and of ministry.  We had twelve participants and other visitors.  We are continuing to monitor their progress and will call them in for more equipping.  Please pray as we map out their assignments.  We will let you know of other training sessions.

3.       KUCHING, MALAYSIA (29-31 March).  Good News Rallies were held among the Dyak-Kadazan-Dusun of Sarawak.  God gave us a good turn-out and some precious decisions for the good Lord.  The combined meetings brought some special fellowship and bonding among the churches and we are privileged to be used of the Lord.

4.       SHALOM BP CHURCH, SINGAPORE.  I am privileged to be helping out as Advisor/Trainer at Shalom Church for the six months while Pastor Rev. Tan Choon Seng takes a break to refresh and reflect.  We began in April to implement a Prayer Ministry.  God moved in our midst as we had a good number for the Prayer Seminar.  Prayer partners signed up for the various requests.  May the good Lord be pleased to raise up Prayer Partners as we build Shalom as a house of prayer.

Our emphasis for May is building lives in community.  We will begin with self-leading in ministry and then enter into His likeness as we explore the Fruit of the Spirit in individual life and the Fruit of the Spirit in Community.  Mother’s Day, on May 12, will see us taking baby steps to invite and welcome new visitors into our midst.  These will be the parents of our kindergarten students.  Great are the possibilities and the potential to reach souls for Jesus and to build all our lives together.  The Fruit Seminar will be held at Shalom on Sat. 18 May, 3pm to 6.30pm.  Please pray for and with us as we pray and allow the good Lord to work in and through us.

5.       MEDAN, INDONESIA (24-28 June).  A team of two will be training the leaders in Medan.  About 32 are already planning to graduate.  By September 2013, we would be having some 50 altogether.  Please pray for these leaders as they move out into the vast harvest field of Indonesia.
