Far East in May
I am excited to be preparing for two teaching trips outside of the USA. I will be returning to a country in the far East where there is existing persecution of God’s people. Christians in the west don’t always realize that some of our brothers and sisters are still being harassed, threatened, their churches burned or are in prisoned. They covet our prayers and our teaching. But even with persecution these churches are growing and pastor and leaders are needed to be raised up and trained.
I have the privilege to spend a week In May to minister to as many as 50 pastors and leaders. Some are already pastoring small house churches and others are being prepared to plant churches. Those attending travel from some distance by train, bus and small motor bike, for several days of learning and being encouraged. Also, time will be available to teach at two local churches.
Northern India in August
I will again be returning to northern India where I traveled last year. The previous meeting with pastors in the north was for a week and was such a positive and productive time that I was asked to return for two weeks. This allows for me to meet with two groups of pastors and leaders.
The director of the organization I am working with is a man of vision desiring the pastors under his care to grow in their method of teaching the Scriptures, as we do at Calvary Chapel, Verse-by-Verse.
Consider the impact one visit to either country can produce. If I minister to 50 pastors and leaders coming from 20 to 30 churches that may have 25 to 100 members. I have impacted multiple congregations, communities, and families.
