Please continue to pray for first generation believers. They face numerous challenges! While praying for the future generations of believers, Jesus prayed John 17 :I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.
Many of these new believers are the lone saved members of the family.
Recently a mother refused to entertain a discussion on marriage of her believer daughter as boy's family refused to serve 5 liters of liquor. 😪
Asia moves on bicycles ! Bicycle is an ordinary person's Car. Just like a Goat is equivalent to Cow for a poor family.
House Church leaders get high mileage on Love and fresh air filled in their bicycle tires. Goats provide milk for the children and an insurance policy or bank deposit at the time of crisis. (They sell the goats and encash them).
Smoking is injurious to health! Smoke from kitchen kills too!
#BTJ volunteers teach sustainable technologies to rural communities.

Legend has it that when Lam Drukpa Kunley, also known as The Divine Madman arrived in Bhutan from Tibet (in the 15th century), he delivered religious teachings to the local whereupon they requested him to conjure up a miracle. And, he concurred, on the condition that he would be fed lunch – a whole cow & a whole goat.
The Legend of Takin - National Animal in Bhutan - Copy
Following what he commanded, the local offered him a massive lunch. The saint from Tibet devoured the flesh of both animals & left out the bones. After that, Lam Drukpa Kunley fixed the head of the goat onto the body of the cow and then, with a snap of his fingers uttered a mantra. That animal instantly sprung to life & began grazing on the meadows. The animal then named as “Dong Gyem Tsey” – Takin.
Do you need more reason to pray for #Bhutan in your daily prayers? #BTJ
Food cooked in open fire for 100 people! Loud music, Public gathering.
Our vehicles were parked several miles away from the gathering. We used borrowed Tuk- tuks to reach the location.
It was adventurous, fun and above all blessing for the believers community, who enjoyed the teaching, worship and food, after 2 years of waiting.
Bibles and other tools are stored in safe houses for the time being.
Thank you for your prayers.

Arranged Marriages in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and South Asia. It is estimated that 80 percent of all marriages in South Asia are arranged by the bride and groom's parents. Many future spouses have never meet each other before they are introduced by their parents. Even so arranged marriages have a very high success rate.
Please pray for first generation believers, who struggle to find a life mate! https://factsanddetails.com/asian/cat62/sub407/item2605.html

Traveling to a location where the House Church Elder 'confiscated ' Bibles from families who kept more than 1 copy and gave to families without any!
Of course they have New Testament, however Lockdown for 2 years forced the local house churches to have a closer walk with Jesus.
Travel with us through prayer.
