FREELY WE HAVE RECEIVED, FREELY WE GIVE: UPCOMING MISSION & CONFERENCE

Shalom and blessings to all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

“Freely you have received; freely give.” – Matthew 10:8

I pray that each of you continues to experience the mighty work of God in your life. May your hearts be touched by His love and your days filled with His peace.

As I reflect on my recent mission journey, I am reminded of how important it is to first share love and joy with the people we meet, even before introducing the Gospel. The Good News is best received when hearts are softened by genuine compassion, not pressure.

A Journey Led by the Spirit

Throughout this mission, I have seen the hand of God moving powerfully, not through my strength, but by His grace alone.

Whether calling for rain (and seeing it come like the days of Elijah), witnessing healing, or casting out demons, I know this one thing for sure: It is all the work of God.

Some have told me I am like a light, bringing joy and love to those in darkness, but all glory belongs to the Father, the Creator of the world, who anoints and uses His servants for His Kingdom.

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16

Let us always lift up our hands in thanksgiving to the Lord, for He alone is worthy.

Upcoming Travel Plans

By the grace and will of God, I will be returning to Kuala Lumpur in mid-April 2008, and shortly after, I will depart for Singapore at the end of April, where I’ll stay for three days before continuing my next mission to India.

Two-Day Conference in Kuala Lumpur – Seeking Venue & Date

While I am in Kuala Lumpur, I am planning (God willing) to conduct a two-day conference, where I will share what the Lord has placed on my heart.

This conference is free of charge, as the Lord has reminded me that salvation is a gift, freely given through Jesus Christ. We give because He first gave everything for us.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.” – Ephesians 2:8

Conference Topics:

1. Evangelism through Love & Joy
• Sharing the Gospel begins with showing genuine love and joy. Wait upon the Holy Spirit’s guidance before speaking.

“Be filled with the Spirit.” – Ephesians 5:18

2. Judging Within Communities

• Why is there so much judgment within the Body of Christ? Is it healthy? How should we respond biblically?

“Judge not, that you be not judged.” – Matthew 7:1

3. Understanding Extremism

• Are so-called extremist groups truly extreme, or are they misunderstood and driven by fear or hatred from others?

6. Prophecy and the End Times

• Sharing visions and insights from the Book of Daniel and other prophetic Scriptures regarding upcoming global events such as war, economic instability, and disasters.

“The wise will understand.” – Daniel 12:10

7. Personal Testimonies & Vision from God

• I will share what God has shown me, along with testimonies from the mission field that glorify His name.

Final Words of Encouragement

Dear friends, I did not plan this conference for fame or promotion. The Lord simply said:
“Do it, and charge nothing.”

And so, I obey, just as Jesus paid the price for our salvation, we are to offer freely the love, truth, and joy of the Kingdom.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” – Matthew 22:37

Please keep this upcoming mission and conference in your prayers—for God’s leading, protection, provision, and power.

I am excited for what God will do, and I look forward to meeting many of you soon.

God bless you all.

With love and blessings,
Pastor Boaz Kok

CALLED ONCE AGAIN: A NEW MISSION TO INDIA

Dear beloved brothers and sisters in Christ,

“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ Then said I, ‘Here am I; send me.’” – Isaiah 6:8

A few days ago, the Lord spoke clearly to my heart, calling me once again to return to India. Though the journey ahead will be long and filled with many unknowns, I choose to obey His command and walk by faith.

This mission is not my own, it belongs to the Lord. As we prepare for this next chapter, I humbly share the mission objectives and invite you to stand with us in prayer, encouragement, and support.

Prayer Requests & Mission Objectives (April–May 2008 Launch)

1. Church Planting in Morbi, Gujarat
   We are called to plant a church in Morbi, where the population is approximately 45% Muslim and 55% Hindu. It is a spiritually sensitive area with some extreme teachings. Pray for boldness, wisdom, and open hearts.

“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” – Psalm 127:1

2. Orphan Care & Adoption Advocacy
   We hope to partner with Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity in Morbi to care for orphaned babies and help find new, loving parents for them.

“Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress…” – James 1:27

3. Evangelism and Crusades in HIV/AIDS Villages – Andhra Pradesh
   We plan to bring the hope and healing of the gospel to affected communities, offering not only encouragement but also truth and dignity to those suffering.

“He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.” – Luke 9:2

4. Equipping Leaders – Youth Pastors Conference, Tamil Nadu
   I have been invited to be a speaker and lecturer for the Youth Pastors Conference in Tamil Nadu. We will be equipping local leaders through teaching and fellowship.
   

“And the things you have heard… entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.” – 2 Timothy 2:2

5. Children’s Ministry – Planting Seeds of Faith
   We are launching a small children’s ministry to guide and mentor the next generation in faith, love, and truth.

“Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.” – Mark 10:14

6. Pray for Provision, Protection, and Direction
   As we travel across states and minister in diverse regions, we pray for:

• Financial provision
• God’s divine protection
• Clear guidance and discernment for every step

“My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:19

7. Reaching the Lost Tribes – Bnei Menashe, Manipur
   We also hope to visit the Bnei Menashe, a group believed to be one of the Lost Tribes of Israel residing in Manipur and surrounding regions. Pray that the Lord opens doors for us to minister and encourage them.

Teaming for the Harvest

One of my disciples from Bangkok will be joining me for this one-year mission. We are prayerfully preparing our hearts and lives to serve in India. Together, we hope to collaborate with the following ministries and churches:

• Full Gospel Churches
• Assemblies of God (AG)
• Church of South India (CSI)
• Holy Fire Ministries
• Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity
• And other local ministries and partners

“Two are better than one… for if they fall, one will lift up his companion.” – Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Projected Financial Needs

We have prepared a projected financial report for the one-year mission. If the Lord places it in your heart to partner with us through giving.

Every gift, big or small, is precious in God’s eyes when given with a joyful heart.

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give… for God loves a cheerful giver.” – 2 Corinthians 9:7

Closing Thoughts

As we prepare to go, we go not in our strength, but in the strength of our Lord Jesus Christ. May this mission bear much fruit for the Kingdom, and may His name be glorified in every village, every heart, and every child we encounter.

Thank you for your prayers, love, and support. Let us rejoice this season, knowing the Gospel still changes lives.

All glory to God. Kol Hthela Shyekht Laloheem.
(May all praise return to the Lord)

With blessings and love,
Pastor Boaz Kok

WALKING BY FAITH: A CHRISTMAS MISSION ACROSS SOUTH INDIA

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and He delighteth in his way.” – Psalm 37:23

Khag Molad Samekh and Shana Tova!

(Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in Hebrew)

As we enter this joyful season, I greet you with peace and love in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though I miss the beautiful Christmas celebrations in Malaysia, this year I will be in Singapore until 25th December, and then I’ll continue my journey to Bangkok to celebrate the New Year.

Let me take a moment to share what God has done throughout this mission journey.

From Pune to Kerala – A Journey of Obedience

After leaving Pune (formerly Poona), I updated a few friends through a long SMS. Internet access was limited, and I could only use a cybercafé without my own notebook.

My next stop was Kottayam, Kerala, where I arrived after a 4-hour journey, just in time to witness a beautiful village engagement ceremony. While in Kottayam, I partnered with Campus Crusade for Christ, ministering in colleges and local villages. I had the opportunity to preach the gospel, share the Word of God, and train three undergraduate students in discipleship during a short camp.

Though I caught a fever, cough, and flu due to the extreme weather change (from 8°C in Pune to 35–40°C in Kerala), God sustained me.

“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength...” - Isaiah 40:31

A Call to Tirunelveli – Trusting God Despite Weakness

After a week, the Lord impressed upon my heart to go to Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu. It was a hard decision due to my health, but I chose obedience. I received an unexpected email from Pastor John, inviting me to minister there, though I had no prior contact with him. I believed this was part of God’s divine appointment.

In one of the villages, we encountered three individuals who were tormented by evil spirits. By God’s power, I was able to cast out the demons.

Shbkho Elohem – Praise the Lord!

We visited many villages, and I’m thankful for the translators that Pastor John arranged, as most people spoke only Tamil.

Equipping Leaders and Preaching the Word

I was invited to give a half-day lecture titled “Leadership by Faith and Faith in Prophecy” for local pastors. Though I faced challenging questions from experienced leaders, the Holy Spirit gave me the words to speak.

“For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.” – Luke 12:12

Some pastors have invited me to return next year to speak at the Youth Pastor Conference for Tamil Nadu. I leave it in God’s hands.

During my visit, I also preached in several churches. One of the pastors, Pastor Vimraj of the Full Gospel Church, captured a photo of me sharing a Christmas message titled “God’s Greatest Gift”.

While walking through the city, I had the opportunity to share the Good News with street children, and Pastor John will continue to follow up with them.

God’s Faithfulness in Every Step

This mission journey was not pre-planned like many team missions. Except for Kottayam, each step was guided by faith, not by sight.

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7

I travelled alone, yet I was never truly alone—God was with me. He provided every need:

• Shelter and meals were generously given by the locals.
• A small love offering of Rs 800 (RM 67) was collected from villages, churches, and pastors. Though small in amount, it was given with sincere hearts.
  

“…they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability.” – 2 Corinthians 8:3

Even the Christmas tree in one of the villages was made using plastic bottles, a beautiful display of creativity and joy, even in humble circumstances.

A Season of Hope and Gratitude

As we celebrate this season, let us remember: Jesus Christ is the greatest gift ever given to mankind.

I encourage you to celebrate with joy, peace, and love, wherever you are. Let us continue to walk in obedience and be led by the Spirit, trusting that He will complete the work He has started in us.

“Thanks be unto God for His indescribable gift!” – 2 Corinthians 9:15

Kol Hthela Shyekht Laloheem – All glory belongs to the Lord.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year once again.

With love and blessings,
Pastor Boaz Kok
