SHARING THE LIGHT OF CHRIST THIS DIWALI - A MISSION UPDATE

Dear Beloved in Christ


Happy Diwali!


As our Hindu friends around the world celebrate the Festival of Lights, this is a beautiful opportunity for us to reflect the true Light, Jesus Christ, who brings eternal hope and joy. Let us extend our hearts in love and compassion, showing them that we care deeply. May this season be the beginning of many open doors for the Gospel.

 

Mission Update – Departure to India


By God’s grace, I will be flying to Bangalore, India on 10 November 2007 at 10:30 PM, arriving at 2:30 AM. I humbly seek your prayers as I step into this new field of ministry, believing that God has prepared hearts to receive His Word.

 

Provision and Praise


So far, the mission fund has reached THB 29,900. I thank God for every faithful partner and supporter, your generosity is a testimony of God’s provision. Though our resources are limited, we trust that the Lord will continue to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory.

 

Due to funding constraints, Brother Charles and Brother Francis will not be joining me on this trip. Please continue to uphold them in prayer, that doors may open for them in the future. Additionally, the planned mission to Pakistan has been cancelled, as the country is currently under curfew and the embassy is not issuing temporary visas.

 

Encounters and Encouragement


In the midst of preparation, I had a divine appointment with Sister Olive, a Catholic student from Myanmar currently studying at ABAC University in Bangkok. As we spoke about the way of Christ and the fulfillment of the End Time Commandments, her heart was stirred with a desire to know more. She is eager to continue learning after my return. Praise the Lord for how He draws hearts to Himself!

 

Another testimony is from Brother Francis, who recently experienced a powerful touch from the Lord. Just four days ago, he cried out in deep prayer and felt God’s presence mightily. The Lord is preparing him to grow as a disciple, and perhaps soon, a fellow laborer in the harvest field. Hallelujah!

 

Looking Ahead


If internet access is available in India, I’ll be sending my next update from the mission field. Until then, please continue to pray for:

 

·        Open hearts in India

·        Divine protection and health

·        God's provision for ongoing ministry

·        Spiritual growth of Brother Francis and Sister Olive

 

May the Lord bless you abundantly and protect you in all your ways. Let us keep pressing on in faith, knowing that the harvest is ready, but the laborers are few.

 

With love and blessings in Christ,

Pastor Boaz Kok
