Our calculations went wrong!
Expecting much more than the actual number reported.
Please pray for safety and protection of believers.

An intercessor (Victor) is undergoing medical check up, etc,
2. Medical professionals (because of their faith) facing a false legal investigation.
3. Logistics of few Training camps.
4. Replacement vehicle for the base.
4. Resources for ministry expansion in some responsive regions, where DMM is happening. (Scriptures, audio Bibles for non-literates, travel assistance for facilitators, Repair/ maintenance assistance with 2 wheelers, etc)
Need lot of prayers !!!
We have decided to purchase water from the same people who are experts in creating 'storms in tea cups' !
Knowing that we are 'more than conquerors' in and through the one who is living in us.
Expecting the Dove to descend!
Chariots of fire to surround us !
In this war of setting the captives free , we may be led by the Spirit not flesh.
Amen ! 🙏
On Mother's day a believer from a Buddhist country shared the following story. A Buddhist teacher told her class the Garden of Eden story. However she told them that God created Moses and Eve. This believer stood up and corrected her saying 'no Ma'am his name was Adam. The teacher figured out that the student is a Christian got angry at her and send her out of the class. Also warned her that she will be never allowed to attend this teacher's class again. Later the daughter talked to her mother over the phone. To comfort the daughter the mother sang "Yes God is Good" in different languages. And counseled her to be bold and never be ashamed to stand up for Jesus.
On "Mother's day she remembers this with great admiration for her mother.
The ground realities! Cow as firewood producer !!! Fresh cow dung is dried on the floor or on the walls , then carried as headload and stored to be used as firewood. Of course there is lot of smoke, which drives the mosquitoes away.

God is still in the business of making impossible things possible!
Conducting a month-long Tent-makers training in the heart of a city, inside an abandoned orphanage campus was next to Impossible. When vehicles without special permits were impounded and people were arrested and put in quarantine facilities, hospitals and even in jail.
100 plus disciples learned Repairing electrical equipments, Stitching clothes, Constructing rural houses, Arc Welding furniture, chicken coups, etc
Now most of them are actively involved in fulfilling the Great Commission in their neighborhood.

@MaryMamuzich Today I remembered the mini truck 'we drove together ' by faith ! Much safer than Tesla test drives!
The equipments and materials were used immediately for the Church planters training. The vehicle is used by the team extensively for traveling to rural areas.
Those who are wondering about the story; When severe travel restrictions were in place, through prayer a #BTJ team managed to send a vehicle loaded with scriptures, agriculture tools, construction tools, water pumps and some food materials to a training location 400 plus miles away from the base.
The results are echoing even today!
Chicken 🐔 for a rainy day ? These pictures are not convincing, true. As they don't portray the reality where #BTJ volunteers provided #Training and Day old chick's.
We don't have pictures to portray the daily suffering of women and children either. Major crime , majority of the villagers decided to follow Christ few years ago.
So no electricity or Drinking water!
Adding few more specific details will give out their location and add to their suffering.
The chicken #BTJ provided will provide nutrition to the children. A small additional income to the widow. An insurance for the family in crisis. #Food on the table.
Remember the poor (Jerusalem council to Apostles).
Discipling them in small groups is our priority, because we don't want them to be left out of that beautiful place with streets of gold; casteless, discrimination free, place without hunger, thirst and death!

Lie #6: The Final Lie
The lie I tell because I have kind of believed
it my entire life until I moved to China and
started working with the underground house
church is that ministry MUST be a full-time paid
position.
As Christians in the West, we kind of feel—even
if we do not say it—that if you have a side job to
take care of your family while doing ministry it is
because you are not very good at ministry.
But Christian ministers should not be any different from regular people. We should all know
the joys of faking an illness and calling in sick to
get the day of of work. The misery of Monday
mornings should be shared by everyone. Pastors
are no exception.
In some ways, Christians have declared a war
on work, as if there were a law against hard labor. Unfortunately, pastors would need to have a
union to have such a law.
If we are in the ministry, we shun regular jobs.
