October 2011 Report

(Hab 2:2-4):  And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.  For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.  Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

Though the vision was given to Habakkuk for Israel, we observe some principles for our ministry together for the Training of Nationals for Nationals.  We have held the vision high.  God brought many of you to co-labor in many ways.  We have prayed, shared and labored patiently together by faith, love and hope, the last five years.  How time flies and the good Lord is blessing and establishing the fruits of our labor. (Psa 90:17):  And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.  Glory to our wonderful, loving and awesome God!

We had the unique privilege of graduating 23 in our first graduation service in Nepal on September 22.  And we will be graduating another good number in Medan, Indonesia in February 2012.  These are pastors and leaders who are already actively serving the good Lord in His vineyard.  Our prayer is to facilitate continual life-long equipping of these so that they would in turn equip others.  (2Tim 2:2):  And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.  We believe that the good Lord will use them greatly.

Here are some blessings shared by some of the graduates:

It was my privilege to be part of all 20 very useful and beneficial subjects.  Through them, my knowledge of the Word of God is enriched and my understanding widened and deepened.  I thank God for the teaching skills of the faculty members.  Also the practical subjects on Leadership have been a milestone in my personal life and leadership endeavor.  The lessons have helped me grow in my personal relationship with the Father, trusting and obeying Him more than ever before.  My leadership is no more reactive but rather it is proactive.  I conclude that the lessons were prepared first for me and then for my other like-minded colleagues.

This Seminary promoted me in my ministry, especially now I can preach and teach very boldly and clearly.  I am very active with my church pastors and leaders to share that which I have learnt from the Seminary.  Almost daily, I can teach at the Bible Centre in a systematic way.  My five-year plan is to train about 20 leaders each year.

The subjects taught were important for our lives and ministries.  They were taught prayerfully and wisely.  Most were new to me and very helpful too.  I felt that I was not having enough knowledge of God’s Word.  Now I have a closer relationship with  God and am more serious in studying God’s Word and spending more time in prayer. I appreciate our lecturers who did hard work to prepare to teach.  The materials will be useful for the present and the future.

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.

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 transform lives and build knowledge, wisdom and skills.  The target date will be January, 2012.  Please pray for this new vision.

Special Conferences:  Training for pastors and leaders will be held in Mandalay and Maymyo, November 23-December 2.  One-day special conference on the History of Redemption will be held in December 1 in Mandalay (with Burmese interpretation) and another one in December 2 in Maymyo (with Mandarin interpretation), headed by trainers with a publishing company.  We are praying for a good team to help train nationals.  Please pray for God’s leading and blessing.
