November 2011 Report

 Dear friend,

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

(Psa 126:3)  The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

Yes, as we ponder in retrospection, God truly has done great things for us, and in and through us, for which we praise Him and we are glad that He is glorified. One highlight is the First Graduation of the Master of Ministry program in Nepal, where we spent some 4 great years.  We continue to wonder and marvel on His goodness and grace in using us to train Nationals to and for their own. We will be further blessed when a good number of Indonesians will graduate this coming February, 2012. Praise the good Lord for many of you that are praying and giving in many ways to enable God’s leaders to grow, glow and go for God.

The following is a testimony of the General Secretary of a fellowship of some 127 churches and 200+ home groups.

                                       Three Blessings

The Master of Ministry Program emphasizes to equip ministers spiritually rather than academically. So I would honestly say that through this Master of Ministry Program (MMP), I am blessed.  The MMP helped me to die myself (my carnal nature) daily. I have felt God is as my "PATER" Father, "JEHOVAH", "EL-SHADDAI" and "ELOHIM" more than before. The MMP taught and encouraged me to love Him more than anything and to trust Him alone in all situations. This program helped me to renew my spiritual life so I really am blessed.

This program helped to learn about the prophetic books, Leadership quality from the epistles and correct interpretation as well as some of the characteristics and attributes of God and creation. Therefore, through this program I am equipped and blessed academically.

Through this program I have learned on some of the areas like strategic and effective evangelism, meaningful discipleship, servant-hood (role model) leadership. Some statements are stuck in my mind and heart: "main thing is main thing" and "attitude determiners the altitude".  Since, the program will be absolutely helpful in my future ministry practically and shape my practical life, therefore, I confess that I am blessed practically too.

                               Three Future Plans

1.       First, to keep my spiritual life in balance I have made my daily plan and family plan and dying daily.  I will spend time in prayer, reading His word and spending time as I have learned. And I will be trying my best to live continuously accordingly.

2.     I will share my vision, Mission Objectives with my people, then make daily plan, and short term plan and long term for Effective Evangelism, genuine discipleship, equipping / building leaders and formation of Healthy and missionary church so the body of Christ would be rooted on Jesus Christ (Matthews 16:18). It would be equipped spiritually, academically and practically so the equipped and healthy and spotless church will fulfil God's great commission (Matthews 28:19, 20).

3.      Finally, I will select and equip some of called, committed and faithful co-workers and deliver responsibilities to assign the task to them. We will work with full conviction and commitment with same goal and same purpose that would establish God's Kingdom in the world and exalt His name alone. Moreover, I would request for you to pray and cooperate with me. Thanks for your kind cooperation!

Medan, INDONESIA,  21-25 November

We had the good privilege of training a good number of 75+ pastors and leaders from Medan, Acheh and Nias in September. Last session for the year in Medan will be 21-25 November.  God is faithful in enabling us to train four times a year in Medan.  February 13-18, 2012 will be another exciting time. February 18 will be the First Graduation in the Medan program. All praise and glory to our living and loving God. If you can attend to witness this great occasion, please let us know.

Our point-man, Rev. Haposan desires to start an undergraduate program in Christian ministry.  Our prayer is to train Nationals so that they can train their own. This is bearing fruit in our brother’s life and in other lives too as God transforms lives and builds knowledge, wisdom and skills. The target date will be January, 2012. Please pray for this new vision. If you help to kick-start this program, please pray and do what God wills.
