A Johor Bahru SOM graduate - another World Harvester sent forth!

On April 6, 2014, we held the first graduation ceremony for the Johor Bahru SOM in Malaysia.  Thirty-four students received an Associates Degree in Practical Theology from Advantage College.  We are very thankful to the Lord for this great accomplishment on the part of these young people.  Special thanks go to the principal of the Johor Bahru SOM, Pastor Mardius Tarigan.  

We are very blessed to see another batch of SOM graduates being sent forth as World Harvesters!!  One of the graduates wrote on her Facebook describing her graduating class, "Troops ready to be sent to the nations .. move on!!"  Wow!  We couldn't have said it better!  Please pray that these "troops" will bring great impact into their worlds.  Thank you.

The Circle

Over 50% of the world's people live in this circle.  

Over 75% of the world's unreached people groups live in this circle.

The majority of the world's Hindus, Buddhists & Muslims live in this circle.

The harvest fields are RIPE within this circle.

Our focus and priority must be the people within this circle if Jesus Christ is to return.

Jesus said, 

"And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come!" (Mt 24:14) 

Please partner with us as we seek to penetrate hearts, minds & souls in the circle!!

Sri Lankan Refugee Children

Although the 26 year civil war in the country of Sri Lanka officially ended in 2009 (read more about the civil war), there are still over 2,400 Sri Lankan refugees living in Malaysia (read the latest UN report).

These refugees still feel apprehensive about returning to their homeland due to unresolved issues leftover from the war.  The UN & the USA are still seeking justice for many war crimes committed during the civil war (see article).

New Creation Revival Center, one of our churches in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, has been ministering to these Sri Lankan refugees for some time now.  Their outreach includes a food bank, medical clinics and a three times a week English club for children (see above photos).  Most of the refugees are from a Hindu religious background.

We want to help the

New Creation Revival Center in sharing the love of Christ and the wonderful Gospel with these precious people and children. We have a kairos opportunity to reach these refugees while they are still in Malaysia.

We have 

25

 child  profiles  that have been prepared by People to People, our child sponsorship ministry. The sponsorship amount is $25 per month.

  

If you are interested in sponsoring a child please send us an email and we will give you a child profile and give you the information on where to send the support.  

 

Thank you very much!

School of Ministry - Karachi, Pakistan

Ps. Asher & potential future SOM students

The Lord is opening a new door for us to start and operate a School of Ministry (SOM) in Karachi, Pakistan.  Our leader at this new SOM will be Pastor Asher (see pictured above). Our goal is to launch this equipping ministry in June this year.

Before we can begin classes we will need to translate the SOM curriculum into the Urdu language.  Our estimate is that the translation will cost around $5,650. Please pray with us that the Lord will provide these funds as soon as possible.

UPDATE: WE HAVE RAISED $1,500.  

THE REMAINING NEED IS $4,150.
